DBurns Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Regarding Tomas Rosicky as a tutor - he is probably the best personality in your squad, a great mix of determination, ambition and professionalism. Deals with pressure well, good temperament etc. Really is a top tutor. Determination is fairly irrelevant.I'd say Arteta as a Model Professional is bare far and away to best tutor. Yes, Arteta is the best tutor in the starting squad. But, Rosicky is also a good tutor with his Resolute personality. Tom, I seen on Twitter you have Benzia and just loaned him out. I have bought him as well, how has he developed/performed for you so far? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RossoneriGunner Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 I have just started my AFC save on 2013, now I have read that some people managed to recall loaned players back before the end of the transfer window in August, is this true as I thought you had to wait until the loan expired?. Also what have you guys done about the guys awaiting WP's have you just sold them?. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomtuck01 Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 Tom, I seen on Twitter you have Benzia and just loaned him out. I have bought him as well, how has he developed/performed for you so far? He has developed well but hasn't really done much for me so far. He managed only 36 appearances in two seasons due to having/bringing in more experienced players. He scored nine goals for me so far and did put in some impressive performances. He's really flying at Norwich though and has managed twelve goals in seventeen appearances so far. However, I'm unsure if I'll bring him back or try sell him as I've Chuba Akpom who has been awesome this season after getting a chance during an injury crisis.

RossoneriGunner Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 Due to injuries to Jenkinson and Sagna which left me short of right backs, we brought in Corchia and to make things worse Koscielny got injured which left us short in central defence, yes you guessed it.....we brought in Kurt Zouma. Then we got short on the left due to another injury crisis so in came Ayew.

RossoneriGunner Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Looks a bit of a mixed bag there! The defeats by Sunderland and Everton we were very disjointed and seemed to be running around like the proverbial headless chickens. At Man City we came from 2-0 down to get a draw and we were a completely different team and battled away for each other. We seemed to have settled down as a team now as you will see when I finally catch up with myself later today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could have had double figures against Liverpool after having 3 goals disallowed, hit the post four times and 3 headers against the crossbar. In between we lost 1-0 to an unlucky goal against Ajax, a shot from Babel came back off of the post and hit Szczesny on the back and rolled over the line. WBA and Newcastle never gave us any problems in the league and in the Champions League we swept aside Valencia quite easily. Back to league action and an away fixture at Stamfordski Bridgeski where we came away with a point when we should have all three, but you can't allow for bad refereeing.

Swills417 Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Just about to start the 2015/16 season after finishing the season in a disappointing 4th place finish which was complemented by Champions League and FA Cup wins. Going into the community shield with this lineup. Had great success with this tactic at home with a counter philosophy to some big team, particularly Barcelona who we routed 5-1 and a strong Benfica side 6-0. Going for a title push this season.

RossoneriGunner Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 I am playing 4-2-3-1, same as I was using in FM12, and things are looking a bit raggedy player wise at the moment as I seem to be getting more than my fair share of injuries. I am actually having to play players about 80% fit, then at half time bring them off and replace them with another 80% fit player. Will be selling and spending to strengthen the squad for next season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RossoneriGunner Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 I think its really too many games with too little players.
