And here's how my young goal keeper is coming along.

Is it any coincidence that his name is VERY similar to Geoff Hurst

November Update

I'm not going in depth this month I'll just post pics of the important stuff

We also lost to Gladbach in UEL so were 2nd there but Man City, Liverpool and Man Utd are snapping at our heels

April 24, 2020

October Update

October started with a game against Spartak Moscow away from home in the UEL

We did well picking up the 3-0 victory with Saka, Nelson and Ceballos scoring and well shockingly enough MATT MACEY putting out a hell of a performance and if he keeps it up he could challenge Martinez as No.2 Martinelli though is still the weak link even down the center with him picking up the lowest rating on the team and honestly my patience is running thin with him also AMN is out for 2-4 weeks with a pulled groin which couldnt come at a worse time as next up is Liverpool at home

Despite picking up the 3-2 win this was one of those games you don't like to see with both sets of players going out of their way to end one another's career as im pretty sure every other highlight was a free kick (probably just 1 in 4 highlights but still) Pepe scored 1 and missed 1 from the spot and after the score being 2-1 to Liverpool at half time Aubameyang planned and executed the comeback however we are without Torreira for Norwich at Carrow Road which isn't the easiest away trip with the Canaries faithful being a formidable set of fans and we cant afford to underestimate Norwich's ability also with United drawing with Chelsea at the bridge we go top of the table

It seems like an appeal has gotten Torreira banned for an extra 2 matches in all fairness it was a horrendous tackle

My luck cant get any better *says very sarcastically then cries into a pillow* Leon Goretzka tore a groin muscle so he is out for the next 4-5 weeks. We'll miss him too as he has a pass completion rate of 91% and averages 1.56 key passes every 90 minutes

Anyways despite having a significantly weakened midfield we were able to come out with the 2-0 win at Carrow Road with Aubameyang and Chambers the goal scorers, Calum Chambers managed to pick up the MOTM award and more than capably filling Torreira's place. We're going to have to rest Tierney though as he isn't looking too good (Lets just hope Thanos doesn't show up) we gave Nketiah an appearance of the bench but as respectfully as I can say it he was p*ss poor

I'm sorry I can say that a trip to Carrow Road isn't easy but a game at home against some side from the swiss super league I've never heard of before is a guaranteed 3 points as shown by the fact they couldn't get a shot on target also Martinelli picked up a goal which is good maybe I was a little harsh but if he continues like that he'll earn his place back in no time and of course Matt Macey picked up another clean sheet also the reason Macey is playing over Martinez is that Emi Martinez has been poor in training

Just seen we got 3 games in 5 days because that makes sense FM that makes sense indeed

Can this count as an injury crisis David Luiz is out for 7 weeks with lower back stress fracture

Next up is Watford at home

Again we were dominant winning 3-0 goalscorers were Aubameyang and Guendouzi who picked up a brace and the MOTM award showing we have gone from strength to strength during Torreira's suspension and Ceballos filling in for Goretzka amazingly Martinelli came off the bench and whilst he didn't light up the pitch he wasnt nearly as bad as he has been recently

Also Man City will be looking to take Aubameyang off our hands with Guardiola being spotted at the Emirates but I want around 70 million for Aubameyang as he has been destroying defences

Next up was Wolves at home in the Carabao Cup

It went well picking up a 3-0 win and a spot in the QFs. Bellerin got his first goal since returning from injury and also the MOTM award whilst Torreira marks his return with a goal and Martinelli also scored a pen which I gave him as part of my plan to get him playing as well as we know he can honestly though I have to thank Max Kliman for not having a clue how to defend being responsible for 2 of our goals and this result leaves us unbeaten for October

At the end of the month we are 2 points clear top of the table with it looking extremely close at the top with us only being 9 points clear of 6th place Tottenham

Also not sure I have to say it should go without saying but I won manager of the month again

April 24, 2020

September Update

September started off with a bang as we win 3-1 over West Ham

We dominated West Ham this game however my worries still persist with only 9 shots on target out of 21 but if we keep scoring I wont have to worry, Goretzka wasn't amazing so I'm going to have to figure out how to get him at his best as Goretzka can honestly become the best player in the league if I can use him properly so I think this could be an experimental month as the fixture list does look fairly relaxed

The next game was a 2-1 victory against Newcastle United at St James Park

This was the first match of my experimental run with the tactic being strongly influenced by Arrigo Sacchi's AC Milan of the late 80's and Goretzka played very well in this game and I was also a massive fan of the way we moved the ball forward

I made a few edits but this is how I interpret Sacchi's Milan side with David Luiz playing the Baresi role Torreira as Ancelotti Goretzka playing in the Donadoni role Zaracho playing as Guillit and Auba as Van Basten if you want me to go into a full data analyst on the tactic I would be more than happy to

We then suffered a 3-2 loss to Gladbach in the Europa League

I used the same tactic we used against Newcastle and it has allowed me to identify one huge issue with this tactic ... We are S**T at defending with this tactic despite attacking very well we simply cannot win matches if we are defending this badly so it leaves me back at the drawing board well it would but next up is top of the table Man Utd

We beat title rivals Man Utd 4-2 pushing us to 2nd in the league with the top 3 being United 1st, Arsenal 2nd, Liverpool 3rd 1990's anyone anyway we played very well to beat top of the table Utd also we have begun to be able to finish more chances with 13 shots on target out of 24 and Goretzka played very well again and I reverted to my variation of a Vertical Tiki-Taka and it came out well but Pepe stole the show with 2 goals and 2 assists

Next? Spurs

We dominated this game with Spurs only taking 4 shots compared to our 19 and it seems Torreira picks up another MOTM award though I have to admit I'm starting to worry about Martinelli as he simply continues to perform poorly and Im considering loaning him out in jan but I'd like some more opinions on the matter

In the Carabao Cup we have drawn Wolves in the 4th round also Liverpool AND Man City have been knocked out leaving us Chelsea and Man Utd as the only big 6 sides left in the competition

We beat Palace 1-0 again dominating the number of shots with our 16 putting their 5 to shame Torreira performed extremely well again putting out an argument that he should win player of the month and Yes Martinelli has been dropped in favour of Saka who got an assist so I am leaning towards loaning Martinelli out

Aubameyang picked up the player of the month award and with 5 goals in 4 appearances you can't argue with that

I have won the manager of the month award continuing my personal trend of going on a unreal run of form through September winning every game

And in the league We are second on GD and this top 3 is looking like something out of the 90s we just need Newcastle to fire up the league table

April 23, 2020

August Update

The season didnt begin as well as hoped taking a 2-0 loss to Leicester City

Although we got very unlucky as both fullbacks went off injured (Just my luck) meaning we had to ship David Luiz out as a left back because Kolasniac was left off the bench resulting in us having to play Torreira as a center half when new signing Issa Diop picked up a red card and well being 5'5 and a center back is a recipe for disaster with Vardy bullying him for the next 20 mins or so plus Goretzka was p*** poor in midfield with Zaracho having to pick up after him however Zaracho did proof he hasn't got a clue how to defend with him being at fault for the second goal as he held on to the ball for far too long resulting in Vardy dispossessing him and slotting it past Leno

Jorge injury leaves us in quite the pickle though

This injury means we only have 1 fit LB being Sead Kolasinac for the next month and a half a time period that has us facing both Manchester clubs, thankfully Chambers injury is fine and he should be fit for the next match

The Next Match against Man City went much better than the match against Leicester picking up a 1-0 victory

The goal was an absolute screamer by Leon Goretzka, redeeming himself instantly after the last game however Zaracho had to miss out due to a slight knock but it was a very even match up however the goal was so good I've gone through the trouble of recording it and It'll be at the bottom of this post

The next match was another 1-0 victory over Brighton

We were honestly unlucky to not win by more with the sole goal being a Nicolas Pepe penalty however only 8 shots on target out of 19 is quite the worry for me as a huge part of a majority of my sides is being able to create an abundance of chances to keep opposition defence pressured and keep the opposition as a whole on the back pedal but if we cant finish these chances than it could be a struggle

The Carabao Cup provided quite a shock

I'm excited for these one despite it ONLY being the Carabao Cup

And it seems like the Europa League isn't enjoying our presence

We have been handed a tough draw that sees us face Borussia Monchengladbach and Spartak Moscow both of which are very respectable sides that will like their chances of going through

We are 8th in the league on the 30th august (I cant screenshot because im at the max post size)

April 23, 2020

Hey,

I've decided to redo my annual Arsenal save as now I've finished my Genk save it can become my main save so I've restarted

I started by clearing out our scouts and bringing in a new look recruitment team as recruitment has NOT been our strong point in recent years *cough* David Luiz *cough* Sokratis *cough* Mustafi... You get the point so hopefully we will pick out some gems with this set up

In terms of transfer activity i went for quality over quantity only bringing in 3 players but the key player is Leon Goretzka who for 26 million was an absolute steal and we sold 2 players in Lacazette and Xhaka to bring in some extra funds (mustafi would have left but he picked up a injury putting him out for the whole season)

I do also have an offer in for Matias Zaracho who looks like a gem of a player

Anyways Ill see you all at the end of august

How's Smith rowe working out for you?

Also, what's that skin called?

Smith Rowe was amazing when called upon but the left wing was between him martinelli and ozil till i sold ozil in Jan to united then i just couldnt justify taking him out the team and its called Yacs 0.8.0

January 19, 2020

Ok thx for that Steve

January 19, 2020

I know he's on the transfer list but bit too ambitious lads dont see Pierre wanting to live in the basque country for a year

January 19, 2020

Wait What

January 19, 2020

WTF I DID NOT WANT SALIBA GOING OUT ON LOAN WHAT DOES MY LOAN MANAGER THINK HE'S DOING

January 19, 2020

Now the nostalgia has overwhelmed me with this signing but I couldnt let a player so technically gifted end his time at arsenal the way he had too so Ladies and Gentlemen Boys and Girls I give to you the return of the little magician SANTI CAZORLA

January 19, 2020

I mean i started on FM17 when I was 11 gonna be turning 15 in summer

January 18, 2020

Thx Gav yh still struggling with the writing part to this used to doing this kinda thing in video form so yh still adapting

January 18, 2020

I've decided that we're pretty stacked upfront even without Auba with Nketiah and Geubbles showing massive potential along with youth intake star Dave Tickle (named by @SteveUK) so wont need to sign any strikers allowing me to use a 126 mil budget to help in other areas (That im struggling to identify)

My current skin doesn't fit it all on the screen but if I could have some help identifying areas you think i could improve would be greatly appreciated

January 18, 2020

I can not possibly defend the thought of paying Everton this much

I don't think Hurtado for £18m is worth it, would rather stick with Nketiah.

Try unsettling a few of these ..

Hide contents

Haaland … paid £32m/3 deadline day of opening season.

Pellegri … Upset him and loaned for season. Have option to buy at £6.5m but is transfer listed at £4.3m. He does pick up minor injuries frequently so is best to rotate him.

Esposito … Scout him well as can be either world class or Bendtner

Arp … Goal machine in my german save for Bayern and normally £10-12mil at start of game. Is on high wage at Bayern

Gouiri … Managed to upset and sign for 9m/3 and loan to West Brom for £500k a month and full wage. Will rejoin end of season after full year as starter in England and earn me £3m.

cool thx i wasn't too sure what to do would sign Gouiri but we dont have a good relationship after he scored 4 goals against us over 2 legs to knock us out the UEL

January 18, 2020

If Aubameyang was mid 20s i would be so unbelievably happy

January 18, 2020

Right then here's the deal this is the player I've identified as Auba replacement however he would fail to obtain a work permit UNLESS i pay 18 mil upfront what should i do

January 18, 2020

NANI Pep sacked outta nowhere LITERALLY look at cause

January 18, 2020

SEASON REVIEW

We had a good season which we can build on to hopefully challenge for the title next season finishing clear 3rd

Of course every club has its goods and bads and in one match for us the down right ugly with our strong points being

A 6-0 dismissal of Sheffield United

Defeating Champions Liverpool 2-0

And battering Chelsea 3-0

Now the bad

Our Europa League (specifically our time in France)

And the worst part of the season (god why am i showing this)

A hammering at the hands of Sc*m Fc

Haven't got any budgets but im predicting a Transfer budget of 120mil after getting 80mil in Jan also gonna try and sell Auba

January 18, 2020

March update

Ok this was an improvement on February with 4 wins (including beating Liverpool and Chelsea) 1 draw and getting knocked out of the Europa and FA cup

of course League table is unchanged where it matters for us

We lost to Lyon 4-4 on away goals and lost Leicester 2-1 95 minute winner so we was really unlucky but gonna try sign the player that knocked me out the UEL Amine Gouiri (cuz who didnt see this coming when i sign geubbles over him) but anyways with us still having an outside chance at the title only dropping 2 points over the whole month

Following the great advice, I've now started my save and the transfer window has slammed shut! We've made a lot of changes ahead of our opening Premier League fixture.

Our squad is now looking like this:

GKs:

Reveal hidden contents

Bernd Leno - Happy with him as my #1, no real need to replace him here

Emiliano Martinez - Will keep him on for a season as #2 and decide on his future later

Maarten Vandevoordt - I wanted a better young 'keeper than Macey, so brought in this 17 year old Belgian to be our 3rd choice

Full backs:

Reveal hidden contents

Hector Bellerin - When he's fit, he'll be our DR 100%. I aim to keep him for some time unless a big offer comes in

Kieran Tierney - He needs to prove his fitness, but I can see him being our DL for years to come if he does

Ainsley Maitland-Niles - I chose to keep him partly due to HG quotas and partly due to his versatility, he may be moved on in future

Calum Chambers - Similar to AMN

Centre backs:

Reveal hidden contents

Ruben Dias - Big money signing, he should be able to lead our defence for a long time

Kristoffer Ajer - I'm hoping he'll turn into a ball playing version of BFG, I have high hopes for him

Zinho Vanheusden - Another new signing, he'll need to develop quickly

David Luiz - I struggled to move him on, so he stays for now to provide cover

Centre mids:

Reveal hidden contents

Bruno Fernandes - Another huge signing, he'll either play MC or AMC depending on who else is in the lineup

Bruno Guimaraes - Double Bruno! We've been linked with him IRL - my aim is to develop him into an IWB if he doesn't quite cut it at MC

Lucas Torreira - Will rotate with Bruno G in the more defensive MC role

Matteo Guendouzi - Not too sure what to do with him, so he'll just be rotating

Joe Willock - Same as Matteo, will be a rotation option for now

Jude Bellingham - He'll be used in all midfield roles as cover until I decide where I want him long term

Wingers:

Reveal hidden contents

Nicolas Pepe - Needs to prove that he's up to his price tag. Will be moved on if he doesn't

Reiss Nelson - I have high hopes for Reiss, hopefully he can live up to the hype

Emile Smith Rowe - Similar expectations to Reiss, but a completely different kind of player. I'll try to develop him as an AMC if he doesn't work out wide

Gabriel Martinelli - I have the highest hopes of the lot for Gabriel - a very exciting prospect who can also cover at ST

Attacking mids:

Reveal hidden contents

Mesut Ozil - I still really hope Mesut can return to his old ways. He won't be getting a new contract though, so he's either sold or leaves on a free when his deal expires

Dani Olmi - Mesut's successor, he'll be getting a lot of game time

Strikers:

Reveal hidden contents

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang - I chose to sell Lacazette in order to keep Auba. Hopefully he proves me right!

Amine Gouiri - Laca's replacement - looks a great player already and I hope he continues to grow

We also signed Nicolo Armini who has gone out on loan to Fleetwood. Kolasinac went on loan to Southampton for 300k/m and 100% wages.

Will do another update when we get to January!

I managed vandevoordt with KRC Genk he was amazing for me when i had to call on him but he was never gonna go long in the XI with my first choice coucke winning goalie of the year back to back

January 18, 2020

LOL Y on earth did i not have mertesacker giving me info on intake

Checked my scouts the moment the intake only kept 5
