GK-Wojciech Szczesny (high potential, 86, though until then I'll have to use Almunia for harder matches)
LB- I'll stick with Clichy I don't like him much but he's fast as hell and has a decent starting rating
RB- Bacary Sagna because I love him and flank defenders aren't too important to me, I may buy Dani Alves somewhere along the way but he's gonna be pricey and isn't very young. I like Sergio Ramos too but he's pricey and still a bit too old, I'm gonna end up scouting for my right back.
CB 1: David Luiz, quick and effective but I won't be able to buy him early because he just moved to Chelsea. Till then I'll make due with Vermalen
CB 2: Pique is who I want but he might take a while to get, I want him tough.
CDM 1: Jack Wilshere- Great potential, young, in FIFA 11 he's a CAM but I'm playing him there anyway because he plays there now and I play well with him there.
CDM 2: This is one of the hardest to choose because Song is great at intercepting midfield passes and ten re-starting the play, however he's not the greatest as an overall midfielder even though I like him. That being said, I'm looking for a new CDM, I tried Jeremy Toulalan but he's older and not exactly what I want which is a great defender but also amazing passer which isn't working too well with him. I thought about Xabi Alsonso but he's expensive . I'm probably going to search a while for a CDM but till then Song does a decent job.
CAM: This is hard because I play the best with Nasri there but Fabregas is better, especially at long passing. However, I'm going to sell him (most likely to Barca) because I play better with Nasri there and I'll get some cheap young player to understudy for Nasri or just bench Cesc.
LW: This is probably who I'm buying first, Eden Hazard from Lille. He's a good crosser, fast, and skillful, exactly who I want as a winger and I'll sell Arshavin.
RW: Difficult again because if I play Nasri here, Fabregas can still play center. However, I really like Walcott here because I play well with him sending ground passes into the box and he's also pretty skillful and young too. I may use Hatem Ben Arfa here or my virtual Pro but for now I like Walcott.
ST: Hulk from Porto. He's quick, tall, and very strong. Not to mention relatively young and he plays like Rooney but is more skillful.
I have no idea why I wrote this but any suggestions FIFA palyers
I assume you're playing on Career mode > Manager dude yeah? I have played through 5 seasons as Arsenal on that mode in 11 and have some tips for you.
For a CB, you should forget Piqué, although he is absolutely amazing, he is far too pricey. Raul Albiol from Real Madrid is much much cheaper and is pretty much the same player. He scores A LOT from corners and he is an absolute rock at the back. Partner him with Vermaelen.
Use Wilshere sparingly, and don't use him in the CDM position. The better player in there in the long run is Aaron Ramsey. He starts off slightly worse than Wilshere, but his stats improve mega quickly and he is perfect for that role, just keep playing him from the start. He is an absolute beast in the tackle, and great for breaking up opponents when they break up the park.
Hazard could be a good bet on the wing. I actually bought Pedro, and whilst he was ok, his stamina is disastrous. Never lasts more than 65 minutes.
You've got your full backs mixed up dude lol. Never ever sell Clichy, unless you get Bale from Spurs (which is pricey if you're Arsenal). On the other hand, find a replacement for Sagna asap, because he really is crap.
Up front, I'd sign Pato instead of Hulk. He's relatively cheap, he's amazing in the air or with the ball at his feet, and he is only 20. Scores so many goals it's unreal.
The formation I use is as follows
Almunia
Bale
Albiol
Veramaelen
Sagna (I didn't get a replacement yet lol)
Ramsey
Fabregas
Nasri
C. Ronaldo (saved up for him lol)
Pato
Van Persie
Before I had Ronaldo, I had van persie playing on that wing and Arshavin on the other
