Five goals to go and he gets a rare longer-term injury. It's not his longest ever, but he hasn't been out for longer than six weeks in his entire career. This is his career history, although obviously these goals are the league ones only. His biography is basically just a list of awards and trophies! He has won the Golden Boot every single full year he has been at the club. Meanwhile, only Mbappe and Vlahovic have won the Ballon D'Or since he arrived at the club, although he has won the Golden Ball every single calendar year he has been at the club. It's safe to say his signing has ushered in the greatest period in Arsenal's history with, to date, four Champions League trophies, seven league titles including three in a row on two separate occasions (something Arsenal haven't managed since the 30s), a club world cup, four FA Cups, five Carabao Cups, six community shields and two Super Cups. My Overall Best XI has some familiar names and some amazing newgens. Highlights being Ian Goodman, who was like a loyal Cashley, Batista Bardini, who might as well be the regen of Maldini, and Luiz Fabiano, who is still only 25 but surely the finest Brazilian centre back of all time! And yes I had Bellingham, but he was underwhelming and I made a £60m loss on him! Only Liverpool and Man Utd have won the title other than Arsenal since the start of the game, with City falling away rapidly. EDT: Oh, and I'm not going to post the evidence of all his goals just yet, i'll do that when he retires, but since he has been at Arsenal, his total goals each season have been: 21 (half season), 62, 70, 76, 40, 57, 52, 69, 60, 85, 95, 79, 68, 52, 61, 48 (half season so far). You can see why this, which was intended as a BETA save, has become my most played save of the cycle!

Here we are in early January, and he has just nine goals to go!

19 down, 34 to go to get the magic 1,000!!

What do you want to see?

OK so I'm sure I'm not the only one who has had this experience but I managed to get Erling Haaland at Arsenal in what turned out to be my longest FM save this year (it was intended to be the beta save but Haaland is too fun)... For many years I've tried to find that striker who got the magic 1,000 goals. Haaland had 947 Arsenal goals at the start of this season and it looks like he will probably beat it this year. It feels like a momentous moment in my FM career! This is him at the moment, and I'll post a few updates through this season here, but I will also probably be streaming on Twitch (same username). I'm excited!
