Theo Walcott

[Zpyro]

I don't know if it's just my save but Walcott has been terrible for me. Played him as a Winger, IF, Striker... And he got 2 goals in 30 games last season. Anyone else find him terrible on this game or is just for me?

Theo Walcott in my save hasn't made a single appearance for Arsenal since 2013-2014 season (14 caps 2 goals).

Later on his pace and acceleration have dropped to 16/15. All his other stats are very poor. This is very normal under FM circumstances, but obviously unrealistic of Walcott as he is capable of much more!

For instance;
In FM13 what ever club I sell him to (United, City, etc) he will play 1 or 2 games maximum and then never appear again.

now in FM14, I sold him off to Chelsea (30m pounds !!) in a seperate Arsenal save and he made like 3-4 apperances that season and then never again.

His stats on FM (just pace coupled with very poor long shots, strength, positioning, bravery etc) make him a very poor player for the AI managers.

16/15 pace really? he has 19/19 on mine

19/19 in my save,31 appearances / 17 goals as right winger/attack in my 4-2-3-1.

Sorry I meant in the 2016-2017 season his pace has dropped to 16/15.

He started fine as winger in my own Arsenal game before struck by an injury:

6 matches, 2 goals, 3 assists, 7.27 avg
