    I just signed a new left back - season 2. With 4 goals and 13 assists he performed more than good and now he has the possibility to do that at Arsenal over again. Welcome Raphaël Guerreiro, former player of Borussia Dortmund, coming over for a fee of 62 million euro's. :) 

    Ah man, I really wanted him but he chose Man City over me & got a bad injury & is now rotting in their reserves.

    In bold are those i will either look to sell or entertain offers for, those underlined i'll be loaning out.
    With 350mil Budget and 300k Wages My targets are J. Gomez, Alexander-Arnold, Paqueta, Sancho, Woodburn and Kane, but unlikely to get those, will definitely need to strengthen GK, AMR and ST positions though i think if certain players go.

    Wow man, are all your values in £? That's some impressive income mate.

    How are people finding maitland-niles? Starting my 4th season and still think his attributes are the same as when I started the game. 

    He was handy for the first two seasons but felt like he was always moaning about something so I sold him to Stoke - still in the Championship - for about £28M. Stats wise he didn't seem to progress that much but he was solid.

    I'm really having limited success in selling some of the fringe Arsenal players off so thought I would ask to see what are the best sales people have got for the players.

     

    Ozil .. Not overly looking to sell other then to reduce the wage bill and offload once suitable replacement, it seem most tend to free transfer him.

    Mkhitaryan ..  Would like to sell but had no offers at all, even tried throwing him into deals without much success.

    Welbeck .. no offers

    Elneny .. best so far was from PSG which was around £25mil.

    Monreal .. sold for £12mil in December leaving end of season (have Tierney signed for then).

    Jenkinson .. £4mil seems the magic fee and normally goes Turkey.

    Cech .. Starting new save and debating trying to sell him in this one (Leno got injured pre-season in my game so didn't try it).

     

    Thanks

     

     

     

    Hey man, I managed to get rid of Özil on a free to an MLS side, Mkhitaryan I loaned to Porto for the season - that's £550K p/w off the wage bill. Elneny went to China for £14.75M, Monreal was my highest rated player, he has been superb. Jenkinson I sold for about £1M & Cech I extended his contract.

    Which prospects are you giving attention and think could feature for you well into your save? I reckon everybody thinks highly of Smith Rowe, Iwobi, Guendouzi and Nelson (even though the Hoffenheim loan stagnates his development). In the category below those I'd put Maitland-Niles, Nketiah and Mavropanos who all have potential to be useful squad players and maybe more than that with extra attention. But what about players like Joe Willock, Xavier Amaechi, Tyreece John-Jules, Trae Coyle, Bukayo Saka, Joel López and Karl Jakob Hein? Any af these that you have earmarked for a future role in your team (or are even coming along nicely if you are 3+ seasons into your save)?

    Hi @Sysiphus, I would personally put Maitland-Niles in the same bracket as Nelson etc. he's been superb for me in my first season. I have had the same stagnation with Nelson at Hoffenheim, too, which is a shame. 

    Out of the other guys I think Willock, Amaechi, Saka & López* could all be handy squad players eventually. Honourable mention to Zelalem, as well. 

    *played him in a League Cup game aged 16

  6. Hello all, just thought I would share my transfers in my first season. 

    Tbh I didn't want to get rid of so many but a few players became unhappy at me not letting them leave. Have cleared over £1M - a week - off the wage bill from letting the players highlighted leave which I'm pretty chuffed with. 

    Sitting in 3rd on 2nd March, if I win my game in hand I'll go top by 2 points. Happy with that so far definitely.

    How do you rate Auba in this game, on previous games I've never got him scoring I usually offload him quite early.

    Im just a few games into my save and he has a 6.48 avg in PL playing as AF with 0 goals..

    And are able to get  him scoring and in what role do you use him in ?

    I play him mainly as an AML (IF/Sup) or PF (At) and he's been ok. 3 goals but all from the spot.

    Few questions how is everyone selling Ozil/Mkhitaryan?

     

    who are you signing to combat the low leadership/aggression in the squad?

     

    I have signed Fekir, Pavon, de Ligt & Arp so far top of the league in Feb lost only to united away 1-0. Play a control possession tactic

    Hello mate, 

    I managed to get rid of Özil by selling him on a free to Real Salt Lake in the MLS. I tried to sell Mkhitaryan too but no one was interested - apart from PSG who he rejected a contract with. 

    I've managed to shave £550,000 (weekly) off the wage bill which I'm chuffed about. 

  9. This tickled me as it seems Ashley Cole isn't very popular in the game either..

    I had a team meeting and said something along the lines of needing to be better, don't let heads drop etc. Raúl agrees saying "yeah we can definitely kick on from here" I ask if anyone else has anything to say and Cole says "I agree with Raúl" so Howedes replies with "I'm not having that Ashley, not at all". This is the first time I've actually properly laughed loads at FM! So Cole is the only one out of the whole squad who reacted badly. Brilliant.
