Swills417 Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 Start of the season has been a mixed bag in terms of results. Some really strong rear guard performances winning the big games by the smallest margins, but we are struggling to beat the lesser sides. We often lose the midfield battle and have relied on goals from a wide range of sources to win games. We're currently very low in table for average possession, below even a Diego Simeone Manchester United side. Unexpectedly, Crystal Palace are the tika-taka side of the division to emulate! A few other developments include appointing Ake and Handanovic as captain and vice-captain. One of my favourite players also arrived in a free deal in his final season before retiring. If he can chip in with a goal or two it would be fantastic! And Guendouzi has now maxed out his new lucrative contract. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
VP. Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 SEASON 4 FEBRUARY TO MAY Weirdly this season felt like a complete fail, but we're the champions of england... Can only put it down to our poor showing in the cups as in the league we beat our record points total and also lost just three matches. The first teams average age is just 22 years old, only change I may make is to sell on Leno (though he has been great for me) and promoting James Hillson to no1.

Anyone know why/how?!?! Deleted the game and redownloaded it and still no change. Only showing up on Arsenal. Is this a bug following 20.4 update? And if so, can I continue playing as them? Or will this lead to a bigger crash? I am unsure of how to delete the cache and preferences like in other FM’s, don’t know if this will help. I just want to play as arsenal!!

Assuming he was ever present? Finished my second full season, 3rd season overall on the save. Managed to push the team to a 3rd place finish. United and Liverpool contested the title in the final weeks, but it was a top 8 all separated by only a few points up until about March. Ultimately, Liverpool proved too strong for a United side that is unrecognisable from the start of the save. Chelsea missing out on Champions League qualification would ultimately cost Deschamps his job. Our inability to finish off the smaller sides away from home would cost us vital points causing us to slip out of the title race. We were unbeaten at home, scoring 43 goals and conceding only 5 goals at the fortress of Castillo Del Emirates. However, we picked up only 8 wins and 6 draws (losing 5) away from home with a goal difference of a +3. Its clear where our issues are. A more detailed look at our season, see's us only 18th in terms of average possession per game (44%), second most yellow cards and 3rd most fouls. This ugly style of play is reflected positively as we only conceded one goal from corners all season. We also scored 11 goals from corners, second only to the 12 scored by the two teams ahead of us in the final standings. We also created the second most chances in the league (109) , with a 52% shots on target rate. We completed 26% of our crosses, joint top with Liverpool with Patrick Schick the highest attacking player for key headers (104). All this suggests we played for goals from set plays, 24 of our 67 goals came from dead-ball scenarios. 64% of our goals came from open play. This figure is likely to be higher considering we switched to a long throw, which contributed to a number of goals we scored in the second half of the season. Stand out performers include Schick who finished as the second highest scorer in the league. Ozil who despite being out of favour for part of the season still delayed his decline with 14 assists in all competitions and was a key passer and chance creator for the side. His contract is up this season, and I may even offer an extension if the terms are right. Guendouzi and Emre Can impressed in the middle as the double pivot with 13 goals between them. Matteo is undoubtedly the more creative and Emre the more productive. Saka wasn't as impressive offensively, but I was surprised his won the 5th most tackles per 90. However, something else to keep an eye on is the number of players making mistakes. Player of the season and young player of the season was Guendouzi. Our highest earner and talisman. Saliba established himself as first choice cover center back. Despite the apparently golden generation of players listed below, each failed to carve out starting positions in their preferred roles and were largely rotational. --- Moving forward, I plan to put this save on ice - while I start a new save attempting to win every major league in Europe. Will hope to revisit this soon. The questions for my return to this include answering the Ozil question, how we can challenge for the title, trim a growing wage bill and what to do with our rotational players who will inevitably block more promising younger players from breaking through. Mikhtarian is still on the books for another season and I'm tempted to see what the 32 year old can bring if Ozil does depart.
