I really think you should consider recalling Joel Campbell from Newcastle after the way True Geordie reacted to your difficult start as Arsenal boss. Your London brother, Big Spence of West Ham. #LeagueManagersAssociation
I think this years the first year where player and team instructions are very very important. On other football manager games I could do amazing without barely touching it, but that's definitely not the case this year! Also I used to be able to leave my game to sim itself without watching it, but now I need to make adjustments all throughout the game or I won't get the best out of the team. It is very frustrating at times but I admire the attention to detail, it's a step in the right direction.
I can see that watching from wizzys point of view will be funny because he will rage alot watching from geordies point of viewwill be entertaining and watching from spencers point of view you will see lots of good tactics and you will see him play the game properly
Some tips for you wizzy Cus im playing as arsenal myself Set 3 different tactics so the players get used to them, that way when u want to switch from 4231 to 41221(451 v) your players are just as used to that formation This game is all about tactics so having a few different team shapes is a good idea The most effective tactic for me is a 442 diamond, one dm and one amc with two midfield wingers Ask your wingers to man mark the opponents wide players and to clise down, then ask your dm to hold position and close down less. This will help keep a good defensive shape, he can also mark their amc if they have one For your two strikers set one as a defensive forward (welbeck is best) and one as a poacher (podolski) So the ideal team would be Szchez Chambers mert kos gibbs A dm( i got lars bender) Walcott. Chambo Ozil Podolski. Welbs
Set these instructions before the game: Shorter passing, Pass into space, Play out of defence, Exploit the flanks, Play wider, Drop deeper, Close down more, Use offside trap, Higher tempo, Be more expressive. AND Mentality:Attacking
Tip: Push higher up the pitch when you are going to use control or attacking mentality. Arsenal have a shit defence when koss is not available, so your best bet is to outscore your opponent, because Arsenal cant defend a lead.(So realistic lol)
rotten start there but you gotta focus more on tactics. You had ozil and podolski on the flanks????? and in fm you gotta play a DMC. try this 41311 but with 2 wingers suits arsenal style and the squad you have assembled
Play Giroud as an Advanced Forward on Attack and have Ozil as Trequartista in his preferred position. Lacazette on the left and Sanchez/Chambo on the right when they come back. Giroud got 42 goals in all comps and top scorer in the league, Ozil got 15 goals + 20 assists and Chambo got 20 goals, all in the first season. I won the title because of them. Although instead of Lacazette I bought Sterling for £52 million.
I once started a game with arsenal and this is what my injury list looked around october steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=349103110 ramsey out for about 4 months, oxlade-chamberlain for 2 months, wilshere for a month and sanchez was out for about a month. what you can try to do to avoid injuries (lets face it, arsenal in this game seems to be cursed by massive amounts of injuries) is to reduce the training workload and/or get rid of those players that are injury prone
Get you staff sorted and I hope you still have money because you are going to have to fire a lot of them and you have to work o. Your tactics during the sure for the players have it down before the league started. You lost because you didn't prepare and pause the game when you make changes lol
MrKeyboardwarrior123 if i'm sacked, which is very possible, i'll have to apply for other jobs. I have no idea whether my poor record would get me a Premier League job. To be honest, i'm hoping it doesn't come to that, but a couple more defeats and it may actually happen.
This game is so hard. I started whit Stuttgart, now its the winter break in my first season and were dead last, whit two wins whole season over Hoffenheim and Augsburg, and im going to get sacked soon
Thats not good at all, you must be horrible at setting up the tactics, as stuttgart has a full squad of pretty high quality players like Maxim, Harnik, Gentner, Ibisevic, Rudiger, Werner, Didavi, Sakai, Kostic, Joo-Ho, Leitner, Ginczek, Gruezo, Abdellaoue, Rausch, Yalcin. Tbh you have a freakin superteam, man.
Serious question though, if our next manager did lose 4-0 to Spurs and got knocked out in the champions league qualifier within his first 5 games what do you think the reaction would be?
Charlie Pound i've had a few days to think about this, having suffered actual depression from this session. Like i said at the time, i'd back myself to be kicked immediately, but then on the flip side, if you keep having to go through a Champions' League playoff tie every year, eventually, you'll lose one. The Spurs game is, to me a fucking disaster. It's worse than the playoff loss in terms of how i'd react as a fan. But then we've been there before, 8-2, 6-0, 5-1, etc etc. It happens. Especially when you have both your first choice CBs out injured, both your best wingers out, playing 3 kids at the back, all together for the first time... Perhaps i got some stuff wrong, perhaps (definitely) i'm a noob at the game. But, **it happens. It's how you bounce back from it that matters. I want to challenge for the title. If we can do that, i'm happy. Europa will be an excercise for the kids, we'll focus on the league, and if we can sort it out asap, we're in with a shout.
***** Yeah that's fair enough, no way would I turn on a manager that quickly but it would definitely reduce the amount of patience fans would have for him. Hopefully you can turn it round and do challenge in the league because if you don't I fear you may be sacked, having already lost out in the CL, so make sure you keep pace in the league Hugh!
GREAT SERIES loving it. But the 3 of you are spoiling the results of each others games, why not give people a reason to watch the other peoples series. It would boost all of your subs and views if you ended with something like "head over to Geordie's channel to find out how he got on against ...."
