Ragingsheep Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 Arshavin can easily be sold for 15mil just by offering him to clubs. Generally Man City and Inter will bid with City offering cash up front. Can someone recommend a deep lying striker (i.e. backup for Van Persie)? Park's finishing isn't really good enough for the role. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilentBob09 Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 Has anyone got Gervinho playing well? He's been pretty poor for me so far. Only one goal and one assist in 10 games and his average is only 6.91. And that goal was a penalty. I'm playing him mostly as an AML (Inside Forward), but occasionally I put him at AMR with the same instructions. Any tips? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What role did you give Vrsjalko mate? Can`t see why he would complain if you gave him a `Rotation` or `Hot Prospect` role. Good Luck with the rest of you`r season.

And that goal was a penalty.I'm playing him mostly as an AML (Inside Forward), but occasionally I put him at AMR with the same instructions. Any tips? Personally, I`d look to plat him primarily as a `Winger - Attack`. I feel that he is better equipped to do that role rather than a more creative `Inside Forward`role. Also, has anyone else noticed that the apostrophes on these forums get a bit weirdÉ (Sorry, that is my question mark!!) Either it`s these forums or this stupid canadian keybord!

llama3 Posted October 23, 2011 Author Share Posted October 23, 2011 Gervinho often plays well for me as an AML Inside Forward Attack, I switch him to AMR sometimes as INF or as a Winger - does well always for me.

SilentBob09 Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 So I finally got Gervinho scoring. He got 2 goals against Liverpool, just a shame Kuyt equalised in the 92nd minute He's been a lot more lively in the last few games as well. Fingers crossed his form picks up now. So here's my results going coming to the end of October: Wolves (a): 1-0 win (Hummels) Dynamo Kiev (a): 0-0 draw QPR (h): 5-1 win (Van Persie, Vermaelen, Arteta, Arshavin, Park) Dynamo Kiev (h): 2-0 win (Rosicky, Walcott) Spurs (a): 1-1 draw (Chamakh) Blackburn (h): 4-1 win (Gervinho (p), Park, Hummels, Chamberlain) Olympiakos (a) 3-0 win (Van Persie (2), Ramsey) Stoke (a): 1-0 win (Van Persie) Bolton (Carling Cup,a): 3-1 win (AET) (Arshavin, Chamakh (2)) Fulham (h): 4-0 win (Chamakh (3), Park) AC Milan (h): 3-1 win (Walcott, Flamini (og), Van Persie) Bolton (a): 3-2 win (Van Persie (3)) Liverpool (h): 2-2 draw (Gervinho (2)) Partizan (a): 5-0 win (Park, Ramsey, Mertesacker, Koscielny, Diaby) Enjoying it so far, surprised how much Chamakh has been scoring when he's played. But he's injured now Also had a bit of a midfield injury crisis but seems to be easing now with Diaby back and Arteta, Song and Benayoun all back in 2 weeks or less.

malikoi Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 Ok injuries are really ****ing me off now. Im getting atleast 1 per game and it alays seems to be over a month. I have 7 first team players out and around 3-5 reserve players out. Sort it the **** out. These injuries seemed to start from full game release, not the demo. whatever they changed its made this game worse. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilentBob09 Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 Midway through December now and still undefeated in all competitions Won 6 out of 6 in my Champs League group (including 2 wins against Milan), and Chamakh is my leading scorer so far. He's behind RVP in the pecking order but 3 hat-tricks so far means he is leading scorer! Miyaichi has looked promising when he has played, and has a couple of goals to his name. Not found much time to play Chamberlain yet, but he has also scored in the Carling Cup. My midfield injury crisis seems to be over, but just had Walcott break his leg so that's him out for the rest of the season. Looking forward to Wilshere getting back to full fitness, although it looks like he will be replacing Arteta whose form has been a bit patchy (when he's not injured), whilst Ramsey is leading the Premiership assist charts, so I'd feel bad about dropping him. Most satisfying win so far was 2-0 against City. 1-0 in the 93rd minute, and Hart comes up for a City corner. We clear it and break, and Arshavin scores from inside his own half Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
malikoi Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 After Park getting injured I had to buy a new striker as I only had Rhys Murphy fit in my first or reserve team. I went in and bought Leandro Damiao. I got him for £8 million upfront and a futher £8.5 million over 48 months, pretty good signing. Hope he performs well.. Edit: He scred 39 seconds into his debut..

Lone Gooner Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 Hi Lads Just started my Arsenal save after getting FM12 at the weekend, cant wait to get started and get into the league season! Anyone signed any players who are on free transfes at the start of the season? I have been looking at Pires (for old times sake :grin:), Carlos Diogo, Mahmadou Diarra anyone think its worth bringing in any free transfers? I know I have got £40m to spend and I hear you asking why are you even looking at free transfers :grin: but there are some good players to be had I think who add experience to our young team . Anyone got any suggestions on players to buy? I was thinking of going for Vidal or MVila and a central defender (Jagielka maybe?) and a new left back (Baines?) and backup right back (Vsarjo the croatian kid) and maybe a striker any suggestions? Also how do you do grin faces? Looking forward to seeing fellow gooners in here Regards Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

exorcisto Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 My Arsenal save is slow going, but I'm currently unbeaten using an experimental 3-1-2-3-1 formation. 3 CBs, Song anchoring, Arteta AP, Ramsey BBM, van Persie TQ behind Walcott, and Arshavin and Gervinho on the wings. My only first team signing was Marvin Martin, who proceded to get injured 4 minutes into his debut in a firendly, but Xerdhan Shaqiri (sp.) is looking promising as an impact sub. So far: H - Swansea - 2-2 - Draw H - Standard - 3-0 - Win A - Liverpool - 2-2 - Draw A - Standard - 1-2 - Win H - Villa - 2-2 - Draw A - Stoke - 1-2 - Win So you can see my tactic scores consistently, but leaks goals almost as regularly. I have a problem hanging on to leads in the league, and I concede from set pieces. So far, so Arsenal. One problem I'm getting is van Persie doesn't seem to respect me at all, and he and Arteta complained of a lack of discipline in the dressing room. I'm not sure what he's talking about.

Viscaelbarca Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 I was just wondering how people were going about turning Chamberlain into a great player. He's obviously not good enough to start, his determination is too low to loan him out. I'm guessing that having him tutored by RVP would be the most effective way of getting the best out of him. Any ideas welcome, cheers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn20 Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Started well with Arsenal 2 points behind Man Utd in 2nd played 9 games only lost 1 to Man Utd 2-1 should have beaten them. Starting line up 1. Almunia at moment as he was complaining about not having game time. 2. Sagna consistant 3. Santos at moment but Gibbs has played a few. CB Vermaelen CB Koscleny but Mertasacker has played well but gave him a chance. RM Walcott steady away CM Song sitting player but just started playing Frimpong in odd game and come up with 7 ratings CM Arteta LM Arshavin CF Van Persie got around 10 this year CF Chamakh started poor but is on fire at moment including 4 goals in a 5-2 win at Ajax in champs league. Other players Chamberlain: Using him off bench at mo but not scored yet. Chu Young: Comes up with odd goal decent ish. Gervinho: Done ok in games he played.

The first round of talks didn't result in him signing a contract and with him being in his final year and on big money do I sell?
