So the only bugs in the game should be the bugs that weren’t fixed in 22.

So, a question for @KillYourIdols, @kiingallen , @zachalxnder and anyone else in here thinking of doing an Arsenal save. What are you thinking in terms of tactics?

I can’t decide between a 4-2-3-1 or a 4-3-3. Or quite figure out how to get Zinchenko’s role reflected in game.

I want to see if what I’ve been doing can be replicated with the real squad. I might have to tone some things down. 

4-3-3 with White as FB, on S or A, then Saliba as BPD - Stopper (stay wider), Gabriel as CD - Cover (stay wider), Zinchenko as IWB - S … Partey as DM - D, Ødegaard on the right as AP - S, Xhaka as a BBM (instructions of get further forward/move into channels) … Martinelli as an IW - A (stay wider), Jesus as AF, Saka as IF - (stay wider)

Alpha with influencers started like 12 hours ago (video on yt is 10 hours ago). Its a good sign?

History indicates that Thurs is a very good bet. I would not count out tomorrow, but there is usually a bit more promo before the beta.

Im guessing it going red to green is a good thing? 😁

Think it just means it has been replaced

I don't want to think about it. All hail Super Mik.

Why not just play as Arteta? I always do it, seems more realistic 

My ego is too big. I want the credit.

Finally say down and watched the Lollujo and Zealand Videos. Rehyped. There seems to be enough for me to be interested in the changes, mainly the improved scouting,  recruitment meetings and squad planner. Not a massive change across the board,  but enough for me to be suitably happy with what they have done.

What scenario should we create in our heads for taking over from Arteta? Was Gary Neville right? 5th was the best he could do and he must venture to pastures anew?

I'm just gonna drop in to say 'midnight release'.

Why? If I can not go to bed on time, I need some company here <3

This is a good idea. These things drop late at night and it’s worth staying up and dispensing with sleep through Friday evening. I’m probably not going to sleep until then.

Also, seeing as Twitter permanently banned my old account and I'm starting fresh, drop twitter handles if you wish. You all seem like decent people tbf.

Twitter needs change of ownership

Why’s that then?

The “you beta be ready” tweet indicates tonight or tomorrow. Staff do not usually mess about with jokes about beta release until it is time, otherwise people on here go mad.

Looks like tonight is the night!

What if there is no blog, no livestream and just a SURPRISE BETA release?

This is the way.

I do find that all this radio silence concerning 

• Streamers have had the game for a week but we havent heard from them yet 
• We're still waiting on blog 2 
• No news on live stream yet but this could be today based on nothing but precedent

Possible that they fear a backlash this year. This page is only at 23 two days out from a similar time frame as last year, Maybe a feeling of meh this year? Showing it on a live stream or having a normal Beta window may put people off buying. 

But at the same time - out of context FM tweeted a DM where someone told them it was one of the best FM in years

Releasing the beta achieves the same goals as the livestream and other marketing, while also cutting short any negativity.

Miles is also very quiet this year

He announced from the beginning that he would not be tweeting features and they would come from the main FM account; however, that has not happened either.

When was the last time it was so quiet pre-beta?

Cannot drag them up right now but he used to tweet about going "into meetings," then the beta would be out that evening ... though he seems less active on Twitter these days

They won't be doing a stream, they're sulking because people said their graphics are bad.

I think this is plausible. Why do a stream showcasing what people have been moaning about?

What’s wrong with everyone? beta’s almost out and we’re at least 40 pages behind

This year is different. Excitement is down. An earlier beta release, absent the usual precursors (livestream, tweets, etc.), would surprise everyone and stoke some buzz.

When that 0 changes to a 1 at the end of eula, I'll start getting excited.

Neil just messaged me that he'll be back in this thread later. He said he had a very, very important meeting right now. Not sure what he was on about.

They have a meeting right before the beta release.
