I've come to the realization that asking a member of your team to help a new comer (especially a youngster/wonderkid) to settle in is extremely overpowered in the Beta, where the newcomer will simply copy the mentor's perfect mental stats: In the Arsenal Beta Save I provided, I signed three youngsters in the first season and all of them copied their mentor's great personality after the "settle in" period: - Benjamin Sesko, was Balanced before joining, asked Saka (a Model Citizen Personality) to help him settle in. Sesko then quickly become a Model Citizen after 3 months. - Victor Christianson, was Spirited before joining, asked Tierny (Driven) to help him settle in, he quickly become Driven after 3 months. - 18 year old youngster Prestiani, had a Balanced personality before joining, asked Odergaard (very professional) to help him settle in, become very professional after 3 months. The "help to settle in" does have a chance to pass on personalities, but this clearly is not intentional and is extremely overpowered in my opinion. Every time I sign a new youngster now I can just easily make him have great mental attributes.

The default defending of wide freekicks is very poor for the AI, they often leave the far post wide open for a easy header. the AI should only have 1 man in wall, and have another good header of the ball defending far back post by default, otherwise I get a goal at least 50% of the time. see pkm chelsea vs everton, Forfana goal Chelsea vs Wolves, Bastoni goal Chelsea v Everton 1st goal.pkm Chelsea v Wolves freekick.pkm

Martin Odegaard, IRL and in game is the default Arsenal Captain. However his leadership score in FM23 is only 8, and in-game it is recommended to strip him of his captaincy. I think this was overlooked as he clearly is a decent captain IRL and is in command of the team's pressing from the front in the game and does a good job at it. He may not yet be a great captain but a score of 8 is way too low. Recommended leadership:11-13.
