Cech & Lichsteiner have decided to retire at the end of the current(first) season offered Cech a coach contract
I did the same mate. Lichsteiner is now manager of Oldham.

I signed Rakitić & Lewandowski on freebies and they've both been superb even at 33/34. I've always loved signing golden oldies.
I also just signed Agüero but I think that may have been a step too far, he's rubbish now.

Me too man, he looks to have progressed well in my save.

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.

Hey mate. Did you sign Kimpembe and Jonny? What did you pay?
Hi @Yoeri I signed Kimpembe for £56M in my second season - that seems high but he has been outstanding. Currently midway through my fourth season & he is immense & my vice captain.

How have your strikers been doing with this formation?
Since the switch to AF mine have been remarkably better, man. In my third season - Lacazette has 15 in 20, all comps.

First season I played majority version 1 - won the League, Europa & FA Cup.
Second season I played something entirely different - finished 5th & won the FA Cup (& Super Cup & Community Shield, but don't count them really) and was lucky not to finish lower tbh.
Third season having a great time with version 3.
Thanks again @FuSS you diamond.

Which version 3 is it you've used mate?
The original version 3, dude. Working wonders - especially with the Half Back & dropping Advanced Playmaker to Support for away games.

Top work @FuSS on version 3, it's working superbly for my Arsenal side. After finishing 5th in my second season - I've had a great run of results since switching to version 3.
For most away games I've been changing the DM to HB and dropping the AP to Support, it works a treat.

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.

Oh dear, I've annoyed Maitland-Niles so much. Normally I would sell a player when this happens but I really want to keep him. Just finished first season so will try to repair the relationship.

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

What do you think is the more realistic role for Torreira? In FM he could play at any role you like but I'm looking for the most realistic save I can.
I play him either a DM/DLP or DM/DM depending on playing home or away. He's been very solid in both roles.

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.

2D classic all the way, dude! I love it.

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.
I know I explained the screenshot but in case you can't see it.

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