Default Season not going to plan

Im Arsenal, season 5. I have won the Prem the last 4 seasons, and the board have told me they expect me to win the league this season.

The seasonstarted well, winning my first 5. Since then, i have drawn 2 and lost 1, due to my tactics and selection i think.

Im pre-patch BTW

Squad

Regens -

Markus Kraft

Kenneth Furbo

Angel Salazar

Silva

Washington

I need a reccommended formation and selection, any help very much appriciated!

Thanks!

I dont think i'm in a position to comment as you are doing far better than me but from a quick look it looks like you aren't playing many Defensive players.

OK. Sorry mate. You have some great players on your squad list but it just looked like all your DM's hadn't had many games. Other than that maybe you have a problem with players getting on? As on paper your team looks capable of winning easliy.

Whenever you go through a bad phase, the best thing to do is to just revert to a simple formation with no fancy stuff. Just go for a 4-4-2 or a 4-1-3-2 depending on whether you're conceding more or not scoring enough.

Out of you squad, I'd play:

GK: Ochoa
LB: Sagna (get a better LB than Marcelo & Pedro!)
RB: Alves
CB: Zapata
CB: Richards/Djourou
DM: Denilson
CM: Fernandez (with a farrow)
AML:Messi
AMR:Ribery
ST: Bojan/Balotelli
ST: Vela/Saivet

Ofcourse you only play the strikers if they've developed well in your game. By 2011 they should be really good tbh. Since I dont know how good they are just choose who you feel are your best two. I see you've only given Bojan 1 game. I'd recommend playing him more often. Cant see you not winning with that squad.

Not sure how to post a link so can only name the thread.

RE: 4-4-2 Project, potential 100 + points in a season!!

I have used it with a few different teams (won the league & got to SF of the champions league with Villa), so might be worth a try.

theincrediblehulk - strange, just played a game and Marcelo scored and won MOTM. Will try to offload Pedro, and sign domeonebetter though. Any ideas who?
My 2 best strikers this season are Adebayor (15) and Vela (14), so il play them. Im going to try and loan out Saivet in Jan, because he just doesnt get games for me! Im trying to sell ALL ofmy reserves, my squads too big!

Do you think i could play this

GK - Ochoa
LB - Sagna/Marcelo
RB - Alves
CB - Zapata
CB - Richards
DM - Denilson
CM - Fernandez
AML - Vela
AMR - Messi
ST - Adebayor
ST - Bojan/Balotelli

i feel Bojan is good enough to get into my team, but with Ade and Vela playing well, he just can get games! Do you reckon Vela would be any good on AML? He is left footed so i think it could work? I may try an sell Zarate, he has been amazing for me, but its time for new players to make their mark **sniff**.

Spike - Ill have a look at that, thanks! Im assuming its in the Tactics and Training forum, no?


Thanks, but as usual, all help appriciated!

I had a look, but couldnt seem to find it. The search didnt work, so could you post a link here please?

1. Go to the paghe you want to put a link to.
2. Copy the full website from where you type the site in e.g. www.footballmanager.com/gfgb/fdbreahf(this isnt real)
3. Paste the site adress in a reply box

He's awesome going forward mate. No doubts about it. He's THE best LB in the game if you just talk about offence. But unfortunately a LB's primary job is to defend and defend well. When he comes up against Ronaldo when you play at OT he's gonna be had. And the wings is the position that teams tend to exploit in the game as well. Thats the one single position which makes a difference between a win or a loss. Its better, in the game, to have great wingers and average strikers rather than great strikers and average wingers. So yeah, definitely look to play Sagna there because he's quite good on the defensive end (miles better than Marcelo). But also, you must buy a new LB as Sagna is not a natural at that position. Targets would include the two Arsenal originals that you sold - Traore & Clichy. Besides them, Taye Taiwo & Giorgio Chiellini are great as well. If you want a defensive LB, then get Criscito.

If Ade & Vela are performing then sure play them. Dont even think of dropping Adeabayor for the games against Liverpool, Chelsea & Man Utd as he is a good big match player. But give Bojan a run in the side too. Just one sub appearance and he scored in that. He destroys teams mate. The way C.Ronaldo is doing irl atm. Bojan & Vela upfront are near unstoppable and when you think that Saivet is waiting on the bench, that becomes scary. Not to mention Balotelli who turns out just as good.

I would definitely not look to play Vela at AML either because he's just such a great striker. Messi works well on the left as he's left footed. Ribery is quality too and will play great on the right. And like I said, great wingers will cause havoc in the game.

You can also see what your assman thinks is your best team. Maybe he'll come up with some decent suggestions? Try it.
