ramie Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 Biggest signing was Gareth Bale for £36 million, who the fans weren't happy with as a Spurs player but 6 goals, 8 assists and an 8.24 rating in 12 games has won them over! This is one of the few new things I really like about FM13, in past FM's it was impossible to sign local rival players! I am planning a raid on Spurs soon, just to stir up so trouble!

So the game is relatively unplayable against a team set up with 4 dribblers in Hazard, Mata, Jovetic and Ben Arfa? I tried everything to stem the tide, tried to get tight but they would spin round them, reduced the closing down and they just ran right past my players.

Should have known the game was buggered Chamakh was my top scorer I was set up with a 4231 with two CMs, To beat Chelsea with 4231 with two CMs you can do either of two things: Sit back and sit tight like you do (worked for me before patch, not sure about now). May not work because their attacking mids are quite scary. Or Acquire your own scary attacking mid and press extremely hard and attack in their final third to prevent their build up play. Attack their full backs, attack their center mids, and get your forward to attack their center backs with the AMC to mop up. If you can restrict most of their pass up field to long balls then your own scary attacking mids can dribble their defense to bits. 4231 is an attacking minded formation, once your opponent gets the ball past the half way line you get very exposed. If you want to sit deep and tighten up usually a 4231 deep with 2 DMC is a bit better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anxiietyyy Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 Just started up my annual Arsenal save. Managed to fetch a fair amount for Gervinho, Santos and Arshavin- £34.5M for the bunch in total- and reinvested it all back into the squad. In came Isco from Malaga for £17.5M, Jetro Willems from PSV for £7M and Mason Bennett for £2.9M (signed by my Head of youth development, Liam Brady). In pre-season, we lost Cazorla, Gibbs and Coquelin to injuries- Gibbs' injury being the worst, he'll be out for 2-3 months, and so Jetro Willems will get his chance earlier than anticipated. I've opted for a 4-3-3 (1-2 midfield set up), with Mikel Arteta operating as a DM > S, just sitting centrally in front of the back-4, sweeping up any loose balls and utilising his range of passing, Aaron Ramsey (Wilshere when he returns) operating in a creative box-to-box role, getting the most out of his high work rate and technique, and Isco (Cazorla when he returns) playing as an Advanced Playmaker > Attack, attacking the space behind the striker from deep, and being the main playmaker of the team. I'll try to keep you guys informed of how I get on! EDIT: Finished off my transfer business by bringing in Ricky van Wolfswinkel from Sporting CP for a fee of £7.75M. I was in need of a back-up striker following the heartbreaking loss of a star striker in the summer- Marouane Chamakh- and saw van Wolfswinkel as the perfect signing. Relatively low fee, fairly young, well-rounded and willing to play second-fiddle for a while. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

timmy2211 Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 After battling with my computer and steam sicne Xmas day, I've finally been able to start a FM save, and first things first I'm obliged to do my first save with my beloved Arsenal. I haven't decided yet who to buy and sell, but one thing i've had in my head even before I got the game was playing with a 4-3-1-2 formation. I'm not a fan of Gervinho IRL and on previous games and will probably look to sell him. What I wanted to ask is, has anyone had sucess with Chamberlain in MC/AMC role. I will have either a 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1 formation as back up formations where he will fit into perfectly but I'm just a bit worried as to how he will fare as a MC.

ajw10 Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Just finished my fourth season at Arsenal and it was largely successful one - I won my 4th League, 2nd CL and 3rd FA Cup. Only disappointment was my failure to win the COC for the first time. I got knocked out of the quarters in what should have been a routine win. Sound familiar? Anyway, I think it may be time to move a few of the older lads on. Sagna's contract is up and has been replaced by Jenkinson anyway. Vermaelen and Mertesacker have lost their places to Koscielny and my Colombian CB wonderkid so they could be moved on as I have a couple of promising young CB's who are in their late teens. Other than that I might keep the squad the same. I was thinking of moving on Cleverley as he cannot stay fit, but he has just performed admirably in the CL final so I might keep him on. Although he isn't first choice anymore. Only other player I am considering selling is Willian. I could get big money for him and I have a young attacking midfielder/winger coming in the summer. Anyway, here is what my squad did this season. Pjanic is so good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
timmy2211 Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Finally got going in my Arsenal save as I haven't been able to play fm13 on my computer due to steam being an awful company and have to use my mums computer. I firstly wanted to get rid of players that I considered dead wood or were not going to be in my plans. Once I did that and realised what money I had available to me I went on bring improvements in. Out went Gervinho and Djrourou to Anzhi for £12.5 and £6M respectively, Chamakh and Squillaci to Newcastle for £6.5M and 1.5M respectively, Andre Santos to P.S.G for £4M and Arshavin to Chelsea for £4M. In came Isco for £17.5m, Nagatomo from Inter for £7.25M, Aleksander Dragovic FROM basel for £4M and Mason Bennett and Will Hughes from Dergy for a combined £7M. I've been playing 3 formations, a 4-3-3, 4-3-1-2 and a attacking 4-4-2. The 4-3-3 is what I've used the most as it's a more 'safe' formation. I haven't had the best results. Beat Swansea 3-0 Everton beat us 2-0 at goodison 1-1 draw at home to Man United 0-0 against West Ham away and unfortunately somehow lost 1-0 to FC Nordsjaellend at home. Im having trouble getting performances for Cazorla and Isco, I've been playing Cazorla MC as a Advanced Playmaker on support duty with ramsey/diaby next to him on a CM support duty and Arteta behind as DLP defend, and Isco as either the same or at AML as either a Inside forward support or Advanced playmaker attack. Anyone got any suggestions? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
timmy2211 Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Well as I've kept playing, both players have started to perform better. I started to play Cazorla as a trequarista and since he has been playing brilliantly. Isco is doing alright, 2 MoM performances and 2 goals in his last 5, I think I just need to give him time. I've sqitched to a 4-2-3-1 now as well, which changes to a 4-3-3 when playing away. Fluid, short passing, zonal marking, pressing and more roaming on my 4-2-3-1 formation and the same for 4-3-3 except for default pressing. Im not having a problem scoring goals, I'm just conceding far too many for my liking. My fullbacks are set to wing backs and automatic, with their closing down set to just above halfway on the slider. Then I have Mertesacker as a defending CB and Vermalen or Koscielny as a covering CB, with either Arteta (who has been out for 2 months) as a dlp defend or Coqueling/Frimpong as ball winning midfielders defend. All in all,we're third in the league, 4 points behind Man Utd with a game in hand. Finished 2nd in my Champions League group after losing the first to opening games. In the COC cup semi's against Wolves and been drawn away to Coventry in the F.A. cup. Got my first North London Derby next and approaching the January Market.

iArsenal Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 Honestly if he is worth 16.5m I would definitely buy him for 3m, play him for half a season and sell him off for a profit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
