team discussion Arsenal III - Page 7

i kept Gibbs up until season 5 because he was so much more consistent than Andre Santos and got a few assists. but Jeffrey Van Der Sleen (regen) was playing to a higher level and was influencing the game more so i sold Gibbs for £11M

i won the Club World Championship just now and my January cluster of games were pretty damn easy, 3 out of the 5 of the teams were in the relegation zone, i won them all. so i am not 8 points behind 1st place Chelsea, but i have 3 games in hand so i have a big chance to become the league leaders. but my last 5 games go like this...

Manchester United - Away
Tottenham - Home
Liverpool - Away
Stoke - Home
Chelsea - Away

which will decide whether i win the league or not. especially having Chelsea in the last game of the season.

fancy posting a screenshot of your transfers in the first season and your tactics?

interesting, did you try playing Walcott as a poacher and van Persie on the wing? I found that a lot more effective than Walcott on the wing and van Persie up front.

on my save, my first choice left back Jeffrey Van Der Sleen wanted a new contract again, he keeps asking for a new one and this led to a lot of other players saying that they "hope Jeffrey Van Der Sleen's attitude improves quickly" so I decided that I wasn't going to have him disrupt the harmony of the club every couple of months for a new contract so I offered him out for £30m and Barcelona made an offer of £28.5m but Jeffrey rejected the contract, because he wanted to stay at the club, it is safe to say that he hasn't asked for a new contract since. I also realised that without Jim I would only have one natural left back so I signed a regen as cover, but this kid was cheap and his mentals are awful so I will sell him for profit in a couple of years.

I am closing in on the top of the league, currently 3rd, 7 points behind Chelsea but I have 3 games in hand, I beat Chelsea in the league, coming one goal behind and nicking a goal at the end in the 92nd minute. my team are playing great football and at the end of the season I am going to sell a lot of the senior players who aren't getting many games. the players I will be selling are:

schurrle for £30m because he broke his leg a season ago and has been a shadow of the player he used to be, his £85k per week wages are also quite expensive.

Wilshere for £30m because although he has had a resurgence in the team, I am not playing him that often and I want my younger players to come through more. his wages of £80k are rather expensive too.

Walcott for £35m because he isn't consistent any more, started the season poorly, started playing phenomenally after I offered him out and now starting to fade away again.

Schwaab will also be heading out for around £25-30m because new signing Pereyra is playing well even though he gets booked a lot, and turan tas is a great cover for him and I have plenty of options at right back.

half way through the 2016/17 season but for me Chamakh played well in pre season but he was poor throughout the competitive games so I sold him for 12m

I would have got Cavani but he was too expensive and demanded high wages and I have a strict wage budget that I like to keep. it means the club makes profit throughout the season so I am not reliant on winning competitions. I will post some screens of my team, tactics and some promising players when I get home.

yeah, I got RVP's wages down to 90k bit I had to give him some massive add ons. sagna was good but his wages were high and 10m was a good fee for him, got Schwaab for only 3.5m as well which is a bargain. and I will definitely sell him before his value depreciates.

the reasons I am selling Walcott, Wilshere, Schwaab, etc. now is because their stats are starting to decrease and I may as well sell them at their peak rather than keeping them on high wages and having them rot in the team, also they are wasting a registration space for someone who might be a good future prospect.

quote TheBlues1

Van Persie is without a goal in 9 for me, anyone got any tips on how to play him? Tried switching the formation and changed him into a complete forward - but still nothing.

advanced playmaker with attack setting on the right wing, he was really good from that position and got me a lot of assists and about 15-20 goals a season in his first 3 or 4 seasons.

alright, I had a few instructions to benefit his playing style and he done well so just try and set up the role for him rather than just the general role.
