End of season one. The young players are incredible this year, and have helped no end. Decided Nketiah blowing hot and cold was too much for me so sent him off on loan to Inter and he helped them win Serie A so hopefully it becomes permanent too. Reuell stepped up well, as did Nwanieri Great season to be fair, bar hiccups with injury moments where at points I was overloaded with no fit center backs, it all came good in the end. Many familiar faces I guess have come in, a fair few stayed on loan until the end of the season which helped me sort out and phase out Jorginho/Elneny/Nketiah and others over the season too Special Mention to Toney and his champions league final goal to send us on our way! adds a new dynamic to the way we play up top and wasn't too expensive so can get a couple of years out of him and hopefully move him on for near cost if possible also. Looking to rebuild ready for the new season and to push forward with more rotation and hopefuly do it all again. Time to dive into learning training better as I do feel I'm leaving a lot of progress on the table there, anyone else?

Just found Lokonga was too "safe" a player and didn't express with the ball how I like. Koop and even Patino so far are both more expansive and will move with the ball. Sambi would literally go left or right and I despise that In henderson IRL so couldn't bare to have 1 of mine doing it in game ahahaha Been a tad busier so far this summer window now budgets are here. Got Pepe off the bill, plus AMN, Mari, Holding and an assortment of youth that just wouldn't get game time. I had been playing Quamina and even Lino Sousa last season but when I found some of these scandinavians I knew they wouldn't get a game on the left Working on trying to get Balogun first team time, with Nketiah and Bierith may prove difficult so perhaps one goes back out on loan. Walters/Brooke along with Azeez & Patino will have a place around the first team this coming season too. Also fancy seeing how I can fare with Trusty. A BIG Centreback that might be good enough for lower half games to take the strain until I decide on Ndicka/Gvardiol or Rensch

Finished season 1 Interesting season, lost opening game of season in a demolishment from Utd. then Smashed Chelsea 5 days later and it went upwards from there. Cruised the Europa with a 1st leg loss to Utd 3-1 and then return a 5-0 drubbing at Home with a final victory that we cantered to Not really anything notable bar getting Xhaka and Lokonga off the wage bill in January as just didn't fit my style of play - so went out on loan with mandatory future fees set. Found something odd though, Odegaard player of the tournament but not in the team of the tournament. Onwards now though, Just bought it Tyler Adams on a rotation basis and looking at Endrick from Brazilian league with another CDM to nab to add depth as Elneny off for free and Nelson off too so perhaps another RW backup on the cards.

Thanks, so on that note, could Jesus then be improved at all? Watching on the match engine and it feels like he isn't aggressive enough when players like Nunez, Zapata & Vlahovic seem to be far more inclined to press on the same tactic I'm toying with. It's hard to explain, he just doesn't seem to "press" like the others I've listed.

Arsenal: Players missing? Or are we not allowed with 15/16 year olds, even if terms are signed and they are big talking points in England Youth football setups? Myles Lewis-Skelly <- started the season as an under 15's player, now passed birthday and is playing unders18's and under 21's and picking up man of the match awards Ethan Nwaneri <- picked up under 21's MOM awards, played for the first team already too. Brooke-Norton Cuffy <- has under 19's England caps, game says "no youth caps" - is this because not under21's? ( I'm unsure, asking for clarification, cheers ) Would ask to be looking at Martinelli with his physical Stamina/Strength and comparison to Nunez please, lad runs for days on end and so far has pocketed every full back he has come against, alongside keeping players away from the ball. As a player already cemented in the first team and breaking into the national team I feel a range of 13-14 on Strenght and Stamina in the 15-16 range would be logical and not a "hard" argument to take against him? Saliba also does not appear to either be quick enough, or his acceleration stat isn't high enough? He has not been sprinted past all season and has regained position from all manner of challenges, alongside sweeping behind Gabriel all season so far. A +2 on acceleration would be fair, Pace/Top speed would be okay to not be touched if this was incorporated, he is rapid off the blocks. Would also ask for a possible + 3 on Gabriel Jesus's positioning trait, he is within the heart of that sides attack right now and watching him in person, he doesn't move off the ball without purpose. finally Xhaka, the player everyone loves to hate, I would say the finishing trait coupled with positioning, both of which seems a little low. He has shown this past 18 months that he has knuckled down, removed odd-mistakes and is a steady 7 rating player every game for them for over a year, with some huge performances as outliers too. Potentially adding + 2 to finishing and Positioning being 13-14 would be fair to a player playing quite possibly his best football of his career right now of course most of these are opinions and subjective, however I feel a strong case for amendment with all? Thanks for the hard work gone into this release, feels polished, smooth so far and addictive as ever. Cheers!
