jonahno6 Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 Is that the same guy who was called Carlos Javier Acuna in FM07? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TartanArmy Posted August 26, 2008 Author Share Posted August 26, 2008 maybe, he is a striker and paraguayian, signed him from cadiz, he was awesome in fm07 if its the same guy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonahno6 Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 Aye, that's the one. Was awesome on 07, not tried him on 08 yet though. Use Arshavin in a formation with a AMC. And have the AMC with a farrow to the striker, will work superbly because of his 20 dribbling. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moaner Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 dont expect the same out of acuna then you got in fm07...he isn't as good but still ok. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
G Mac Spurs Army Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 Arshavin has to be the most overrated FM player ever, everyone talks about him as if hes some sort of god but he does absolutely nothing whenever i've signed him.. maybe i should give him more of a chance i dont know but hes so overrated. Class player in real life though, hope Spurs sign him! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
arsenal_2111 Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 He isn't overrated. He is hardly even rated. Is pretty much awful on FM, Mid-table at best. Not good for teams in Europe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AFC49 Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 i would'nt touch him too old,and the patch was done before the euro's very average. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thepathtoamen Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 I signed him (arshavin) on my shakhtar save and he did ok bout 10 goals over to seasons but I played him on the right as I didn;t have anyone else. Sold him for profit so not to shabby. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
davestu Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 I think it has to be an individiual team thing with Arshavin. I scout my players out by searching by attibutes. Arshavin came up when I was looking for certain attributes in reguards to playing just behind the ST in my formation. I wanted him for a certain role and he plays amazing in this role with my tactics Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
megafan2005 Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 i would'nt touch him too old,and the patch was done before the euro's very average. The scout clearly did a bad job cause I have known about Arshavin for at least 3 seasons Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
philfm86 Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 i have arshavin playing along side 2 other amcs, he plays on the right with a farrow to striker - he has scored 7 in the last 4 games and has ratings of 8 - 8 - 9 - 7 - 8 - 9 - 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimboola Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 Put Arshavin in a AMC role...he is awesome. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
x42bn6 Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 Signed Arshavin for Derby County in January - 1 goal, 10 assists by the end of the season. Play him in an attacking midfield role, and make sure he does as little defending as possible. Make him do anything else, however (i.e. as a striker or as an attacking central midfielder) and it sort of breaks down. He's a good player but not top-notch in this game. Tons of better attacking midfielders than him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sniell Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 Arshavin tears the Ukrainian League apart but not been so good when I've had him for Premier League teams. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TartanArmy Posted August 31, 2008 Author Share Posted August 31, 2008 even though this is my own thread, arshavin has been a revelation in my celtic team in the amc role in 70 (9 coming off the bench) games he has scored 30 goals and 22 assists that is in 18 months. make of it what you will. well worth the 9m i paid for him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
