Being an Arsenal fan, the only team I really want to be is Arsenal. At the beginning of FM13 I couldn't do anything right, but after the January window I went on to win every trophy in just two seasons (I was shocked also).
However this year I've struggled with Arsenal and I am yet to even finish one season on FM14, I don't even think I've made it to January yet. Yet I do have 64 hours play time according to Steam. I don't know how lol
I know the game is still in a buggy position and stuff just happens that shouldn't, and this is not a thread complaining, I'm trying to find out Arsenal success stories. But I can't seem to get Arsenal to perform at all.
I've tried 4231, 4141, 41221, 42121 and 42211. I just can't get them playing constantly well. I've varied from fluid to rigid, control to counter and adapted the instructions when required.
What I've noticed is that Giroud can't finish anything for me. As a AF, TM, CF or a P. My wingers get most of my goals, Walcott and Chamberlain on the right. Cazorla, while doesn't score many, cuts inside and plays the balls to the right wingers to score. Ozil, I don't know what Ozil does on this game honestly. I've tried AP, T, E, SS and AM and he's lucky if he gets a 7.0 rating.
Wilshere, Ramsey and Arteta constantly get low ratings. Flamini on the other hand usually puts in a good shift. Rosicky is an unsung hero and played Ozil out of the team for me on my previous save. The defenders usually good quite well, Gibbs gets forward around Cazorla and gets into good positions. Sagna does alright. Mertesacker, while slow is a constant 7.50 rating as is Koscielny. However randomly both will just play like ****. Szczesny is a weird one, one moment nothing can beat him, next minute he's falling over out of his box letting goals in.
I know I am rambling on a little now, but I just cannot seem to get anywhere with this Arsenal team. The 60+ hours I've spent playing this game has been trying to work it out.
So yeah, has anyone had any luck with Arsenal and what did you do/ how did you setup?
