Aresnal's youngsters Walcott, Fàbregas, Senderos and Djourou will grow alot. I've got Adu on my side aswell.

I play with Arsenal for Manager Mode in FIFA 07, using FIFAKOREA roster updates, and this game AI patch that makes things a lot harder and more realistic. Currently second to Chelsea in EPL, 9 points behind. I've had 4 straight draws, and my most recent game, 4-1 loss to Man Utd in my last 5.

Lol...I run two sets of 4 midfielders and a 3 defense, and the other striker other than Henry. I change the 4 mids every game, along with the three defense, while I rotate Adebayor and Van Persie as the second striker to Henry, with Toure and Henry playing almost every game . My subs rarely ever change (I use my subs every game, I meant that my bench is almost always the same players), with the my backup goalie, one of my youth academy defense, and Denilson (no not the one your thinking of, search him on the Arsenal roster), with the the striker that's not starting for the game, and Walcott (I start him every few games or so).

I got rid of Almunia, and bought Bohdan Shust (Ukrainian Goalkeeper) from his Ukraine League team, forgot what it was. I play him almost as much as Lehmann, cause I'm trying to develop him. He's alright, according to the player growth thing, he's suppose to develop to around low to high 80s. He's going to be my starting goalkeeper for the future. I'm looking for maybe a solid, somewhat young, and solid goalkeeper who I can use as maybe a backup to develop a little bit every now and then (will most likely not take Shust's starting position in a few years). Lehmann is gonna retire in a few years, and I am not gonna have Mart Poom be my backup (not to mention he's gonna retire soon too, atleast in my game probably). Perhaps maybe a decent midfielder who can play the middle, as I may end up selling Flamini.

Any suggestions?

EDIT: keem21, for defense, I suggest Francisco Molinero. He should be playing at either Athletico Madrid of the La Liga, or Malaga CF of the Spanish Second Division thing. He's speedy, and he develops to around a mid-80s.

In 07 I had soem hilarious bugs with youths. With CSKA Moscow in Manager mode, in Champions League I played Arsenal in 10/11 and there was a 14 year old playing, ironically he was about 180 cm and 75 kg a few games later, I played Fiorentina, they had a 19 year old with 99 overall, no kidding...

what's so shocking about that?!? when I was 14 I was 182cm, although I was probably only about 62-63kg, but I can think of quite a few Samoans who are that big & weigh that much (if not more) at 14....as for the age, yeah, seems a bit far fetched....16 or 17 years, more believable....

Maybe I placed it in the wrong place, the icon, but isnt it shocking that a 14 year old is playing for FC Arsenal and a starter, I think he was left mid.

I'm not sure, cause after I installed it, I deleted the download file. Though I did get it from http://www.fifakorea.net though. They have an English version of the site, just look for the English option somewhere on the top.

In regards to Cech, the reason I don't want to get him is cause he's way too expensive (I am not spending 25M for a player; my current budget is "only" about 56M right now, wanna use it for upgrading staff and maybe other big names in the future). Plus I want to develop Bohdan Shust (read first post for where I got him from; current backup, will be starting some time in the future, heck I play him almost as much as Lehmann). Sure he's only rated a 72 right now, but he's only like 20 or 21 in my game currently, and is suppose to get to somewhere either mid to high 80s. That's the main reason I want a sort of young backup goalie that will turn out OK, don't have to be someone that develops into a 90 or high 80s.

Also, any good, cheap, young midfielders that will develop well(yeah I know, lot of criteria ) that anyone can suggest?

I spotted this guy in the transfer window. Got him for a while, he didn't develop, sold him, he's probably 14-15 now as I'm into my 8th season. Probably still at 46 overall. If I'm not mistaken he was also around 180&80 and furthermore, he had a mustache.



Another silly thing: I've won the Spanish League 4 times during the last 7 seasons, with 80-89 points in total AND during the other three seasons I've got more than 90 points and been second after Barca.

And Mofo, i suggest scouting, it has worked better than buying for me. Then again I think you need to have a higher level scout for that.

LOL 8 yrs old...

Where can I get the patches?



Nevermind, got them.

[keem21]

please suggest a good CB because rio ferdinand is retiring and its only my 4th season
does this happen to you too??

[Abctest123]

keem21, for defense, I suggest Francisco Molinero. He should be playing at either Athletico Madrid of the La Liga, or Malaga CF of the Spanish Second Division thing. He's speedy, and he develops to around a mid-80s.

He's either a RB or CB, but I'm leaning towards RB. Anyways, his rating is the same (or just 1 less) than his normal one if you play him at CB than RB.

[keem21]

I got molinero and hes good.
but now i need another to replace o'shea
