Re: ***The Official Football Manager Thread***
Yeah, I'm not sure. It's a very weird thing. Unsure if it's a pre-set tactic thing or if it's a team not meshing thing. It seems to be pretty consistent with them, though.
My 2nd season starts off with Arsenal... and Brendan Rodgers is their manager trying to play mind games with my team, singling out Stevie G as the weakest link.
There was a lot of money moving in and out during the summer. My pictures won't upload because my net is being ****, but I'll cover the major ones.

Morata was choice 3 for striker cover and I was scrambling a bit before the season started. I had an offer accepted for him for 15 million and he resigned with Madrid for a long-term deal and I had to up my offer to 25 million. I tried to bring in Kevin Volland from Dortmund but he's signed until 2019 and they wouldn't accept any offers for him, and the same for Edinson Cavani who is signed until 2018. II couldn't get offers accepted for either of them.
Next year my only goal is a (hopefully) world-class right back. Martin Kelly has been holding down the spot admirably, but I don't think he's the long term answer there for me and Flanagan isn't nearly as attack-minded as I would like. I'll need depth at LB as well. Jack Robinson is good enough to fill in for emergencies, but I'll need someone to spell Luke Shaw.
I keep editing because I forget stuff. My scout found a nice regen RB I'd love to get my hands on (his dribbling and finishing are TERRIBLE (like... 3's terrible) but his first touch, passing and technique are all from 12-16 and he's fast - 17 pace. Couldn't get him a work permit, sadly. I keep him on my shortlist, because I want to train him up - he's from Turkey.
