Alexis Sanchez is a God in this game

Small sample size, but through 5 apps he's been poor for me. 6.52 average rating, no goals and 1 assist.

Welbeck, on the other hand, in those same 5 apps, has 4 goals and 4 assists for a 7.92 average rating.

I'm hoping Sanchez stops being mediocre and starts playing like he is in your save.

Have either of you been able to sign a DM or is that not possible?

[rsnomar05]

I signed William Carvalho. He's a beast of a DM, and should be great coming on to protect a lead, or starting against teams like Man City who I know have a high powered attack.

With the Transfer window now closed, here are my signings:

Raheem Sterling from Liverpool to be my AML.
William Carvalho, DM.
Wonderkid Eder Alvarez Balanta, CB.
Alex Telles, young LB with huge potential.
Wonderkid Paco Alcacer, Striker.
Humam Tariq, young midfielder with huge potential.

Overall, not too bad. I got a lot younger, and my signings all have massive potential, which could set me up nicely in the future.

And now my outgoing players:

Olivier Giroud, 36 mil to Napoli.
Lucas Podolski, 18.5 mil to Dortmund.
Abou Diaby, 15 mil (LOL!) to Metalist.
Nacho Monreal, 15 mil to Newcastle.
Mathieu Flamini, 10 mil to Zenit.
Franic Coquelin, 3 mil to Sunderland.
Damian Martinez, 1.5 mil to Liverpool.

With match fixture congestion, I had a CL match on Wednesday, the North London Derby on Sunday (drew 1-1), and a COC match with Everton on Tuesday.

My team was fatigued and ravaged by injuries to the point where I couldn't even field a full B squad. I was expecting to get destroyed, but instead I pulled out a 3-1 win. Sanchez, Wilshere, Ox, Koscielny, Ramsey, Arteta, Rosicky, and Debuchy are all injured. Arteta and Rosicky both had to come off injured during the COC match, and they were my two starting CMs with Wishere and Ramsey out for the next month. Yeah, typical Arsenal injury situation, and FM nailed it. SIM.

Injuries do seem to be a lot more frequent so far. I swear, at least 3 people each week get injured during training and then 2 more get injured during the actual matches.

EDIT: yup, just started a match in two minutes in my MC gets injured, put in a sub for him and then 8 minutes into the game he gets injured too! Bleh.

Yeah, I've not even gotten through a week of preseason and in the 2 friendlies I've had 4 injuries.
