Arsenal - Road to glory

@craborumtoon awesome that someone has downloaded and trying out the save, have to say that you have done it better than I have in that game, so kudos for that! Also hope you wont have to struggle with injuries as i have had to. And thanks for the kind words, appreciate it



Yet another set of injuries has struck the club, the strike of Wagner will be a tough one to get trough, very glad Lucio can play CAM, beginning to wear thin on player who can play in this position.

Has been a bumpy start of the league with many results that has surprised me, big teams stumbling already, dropping points around where they shouldn't. Every team in the league has dropped points with Manchester United maybe as the biggest suprise has dropped 7 points in their 5 games so far.

As for my own team there has been some good performances in front of goal, have tried to enroll Lucio up front without as much luck as i would have liked, so with Wagner off with injury he is going to get a place as AMC where he has managed to pick a couple of great goals from already.
The better news is that Dick is continuing alongside Wilshere to shine, snatching 4 goals so far he stands as top scorer so far in the team. The only performance that beats him is Wilshere who has capped 3 goals and mastered 3 assists so far, things are looking good, just need to glue the defense shut and we will be very hard to beat.

Premier League
Tottenham 2-1 Arsenal
Arsenal 2-0 Manchester United
West Brom 3-3 Arsenal
Arsenal 2-0 Blackpool
West Ham 0-5 Arsenal

Bad news is brought to me by the physios when they tell me James dick will be out for a long time after the game against Q.P.R. where he had to be taken off towards the end of the game in terrible pain. This is the toughest injury news the club could get as Dick could have been the one to become top goalscorer this season with excellent performances so far, he will truly be missed on the pitch.



Player Name: James Dick
Current date: 01.10.2019
Date injured: 28.09.2019
Injury: A torn calf muscle
Returning to light training in: 82 days

Iv'e done okay with injuries actually - the only two are wagner and gervihno. Lucio is incredible as well - better than dick at this stage.

Here you have my hall of fame, the players who have shown excellent performances and deserve to be brought out into the light. All the stats will be from when I took over Arsenal to the present, witch for reference is 26th October 2019. The statistics is from competitive games played for Arsenal.

Another great set of posts Ejay. I've voted for you and fingers crossed you win, left a little comment too.
I'm going to download the saved game and give it a crack until Friday when FM13 comes out.

@Nikleson Thank you very much! Is very much appreciated. Have fun with the game save and let me know how it goes, is fun to see how others do.


Now I wanted to do a post where you could get a more complete view of how my league is at the moment, because I feel there is something very strange going on with many of the results here, for example Manchester United is underachieving very much compared to what they did last season. But firstly I'll go trough my own games so far.

Premier League
Arsenal 2-0 Q.P.R.
Burnley 1-2 Arsenal
Arsenal 2-0 Aston Villa
Arsenal 3-0 Liverpool

Carling Cup
3rd Arsenal 2-0 Sunderland
4th Birmingham 0-3 Arsenal

Champions League
Arsenal 2-2 At. Madrid
Basel 1-0 Arsenal
Slavia(Sofia) 0-6 Arsenal


Been a sketchy run in the Champions League so far for me, with being in 3rd it is all up to me to finish the other half of the group games with flying colors and hopefully flying goals trough the oppositions net, because this has shown itself to be a very hard challenge to overcome so far.

Now I am going to switch over to other teams around the Premier League to show you how my bug contenders are doing at the moment, as you can see on the league table there are some teams struggling more than others when it comes to the big ones. And just as a little fun fact i came across, West Ham hasn't won a single game in over 30 games now, think they are gunning for a record.

Interest from Spain has been shown after Carlo Ancelotti left his seat at Real Madrid to go to Manchester City. The Real Madrid board has decided to give me an offer at the hot seat in the prestigious club with a transfer budget of £400,000,000 and a wage budget of £4,4M per week. Sadly for the Spaniards I have declined their offer and decided to stick with the club in my heart.




When it comes to the games played for the club there is one man who has stepped back up again after remaining in the shadows of James Dick, Abel Hernandez is back in his spot and making his paycheck a pleasure to sign after 12 goals in 10 matches. He is truly a star at the club and it will be a though call on who to play when Dick returns from his injury.


Premier League
Newcastle 4-1 Arsenal
Arsenal 4-1 Bristol City

Carling Cup
4th Birmingham 0-3 Arsenal
Qtr Arsenal Vs. West Ham


With having scored in every game in the Premier League so far I am more than pleased with how the offense is working, just take a look at this golden goal from Wilshere in the video under, trust me, its a gem!

What loyalty to the club and the cause to turn down a 400m transfer budget, good on you. My brother once managed Real Madrid and he got his budget up to 1bn.

Keep up the good work, fingers crossed on you winning the story of the year. Plus, I started your saved game last night, one game in and all good. I must say though that you keep mispelling two words. Your Norwiegan is better than mine and your English is brilliant but thought you'd like to know that in English it's 'Tough' not 'Though' and 'Through' and not 'Trough'. Not criticising you at all just wanted to help you out :-)

What a goal from wilshere - he also scored a 25 yard gem for me in your save against Newcastle (THE BEST TEAM EVER!!!!!!). I won that game 3-1. Keep up the good work - you deserve to win FM Story of the year - I voted for you.:)))))))))

@Nikleson Thanks again for the confidence! When it comes to my spelling on those words, is some words i keep misspelling, yes, try to catch them, but is hard to catch them all, hehe.

@craborumtoon Thanks to you too for the vote, take a look at the goals in this post here, some more gems of goals for you to look at.


What a month when it comes to goals! Been some real beauties this month with snatching all 3 spots in the top 3 goals of the month. Can't say I have seen this before, rarely get on this list at all, maybe a goal of the year is in the horizon?

The Champions League group stage has come to an end and it has been a thriller with Arsenal lieing in 3rd place with one game left to play.

At. Madrid 1-1 Arsenal


It was a nervy game against Basel with it taking 81 minutes before Hamsik managed to put one in the net and with the push the goal gave Lucio suck in and poached in the second goal of the game sending the Gunners trough to the next round in Champions League.

Arsenal 2-0 Basel


With ending up behind At Madrid the club will be seeded 2nd, meaning in the upcoming draw I can meet the following teams:
Benfica
Manchester United
Shakhtar
OM
Besiktas
Paris Saint-Germain
Zenit

Big teams that has been knocked out of their Champions League group:
Real Madrid
Barcelona
Inter
Liverpool
AC Milan
Ajax

Now over to the Premier League, been a great set of performances that has lead me to end up in the top spot, having scored goals on goals Arsenal have separated themselves from the heard of the big teams since the others seem to be struggling this season. Blackburn and Sunderland has overdone themselves with being in the fight for a Champions League spot for next season, big kudos to them for being there.

Premier League
Manchester City 1-1 Arsenal

@goldengoat Thank you! Really appreciate it.

Now that both Abel Hernandez and James Dick is back from injury I have a luxury problem now that Lucio is in incredible form and running for being top scorer this season with being 3rd in the league, only 2 goals away from the no 1 spot. Will probably stick with Lucio and have my other wonderboys on wait until his form drops.



am pleased to announce a newcomer in the red and white jersey, Jorginho has come from the Brazilian side Corinthians for a fee of £13.75M. The 20 year old is a signing for the future as well as a backup for the current defending squad, he surely has the talent to feature for the side, but he is still young and has much to learn. A talent that is willing to work and will be appreciated by everyone in the stands when his time comes.


The time has come for the veteran to move on from Arsenal to seek out a final glory in his career, with a fee of £2M, Koscielny has made a move to Blackburn where he will see out his career.



As you might have figured, I am going to start a story on Football Manager 2013 eventually, planning on finishing up this story first for all of you reading. But thought it might be fun to get some input from you guys, if you have some ideas for what you would like to see me do on a new story. I am still going to go for Arsenal, at least that is what I am planning on doing so far, but if there is something you have thought would be nice to see in one of my stories I would love it if you told me.
