the squad will either look like 2 11’s or an 11 with 9 on the bench that involve top quality players. Aaron, Partey, ESR, Eddie, Nelson have the most potential to leave out of a 25 man squad we are left with 17 players which leaves 3 openings for an 11 with 9 on bench needing a mid and someone on the bench who can play up front and mid or that bench job is given to Kai and a new striker comes in to start (one of Zinch, Kiwior would have to leave for calfuoir) or a starting mid and another mid and striker for the squad to make 2 11’s. After that you could operate on a one out one in basis
James, I've got to say that I'm really appreciating these frequent uploads. Your insight and knowledge on various topics are always top notch. The Arsenal community is blessed to have you mate! Looking forward to the next vid. #COYG 🔴⚪
I remember playing Championship Manager and a young Freddy Adu and Billy Sharp tearing it up for Doncaster Rovers. We won everything. Sadly this did not translate into real life.
If you compare Facundo Medina and Calafiori the former is better in more things that Calafiori (although he does play in a back three) but nobody is in for him. Truth of the matter is that a club should never pay for an overpriced player after the Euros it’s football transfers 101
I like that Arteta is stacking up the defense. He seems like the final piece of that defensive line. Has all the attributes that could fit really well in our system. I’m just also praying we get a forward, whether it’s a winger or striker. Plus also need a midfielder. 🤞🏼😭 But it seems Arteta has a GK fever 😂.
Have you thought about putting in all the potential/likely transfers (similarly for other prem teams) and simulate a FM season. See how this compares to the actual season. Analyse it at Christmas. Holla at me, I've got great ideas.
@@remy7663 You enjoy playing FM? I dread to think what you'd be doing if you were born in the 80s before the internet but i'm guessing it would involve crayons, a tree a goat and a distant relative... Anyway, happy 10th birthday for next week
Been done loads. Loads of people have discussed Calafiori, including me on AFTV, I just wanted to try something different tbh and I rate the FM database so highly. Going to use it more to scout players
Too big a financial hit for a position we have covered - hence best defence in the PL last season. How do we buy a 9 or a 6 to replace Partey of the right calibre now? After all Gabriel Magalhaes has done, we bench him now?
What the hell is wrong with you? You ppl are the problem with this club with your small mindedness , you want arsenal to be a top team yet you donot want the club to do what top teams do , ofcourse they are not benching gabriel if you actually watched our matches towards the end of the season you will see that our defense was more than stretched hence the loss to aston villa , loss that shouldnt have happened
There will be time for everyone if we sign calafiori, we play in every competition a top team participates in every one will have their time . Let go of these emotional attatchments you have to certain players like smith rowe,benwhite etc and direct them to the club in general
Which position is covered??? Lb ?? With timber just coming back from acl do expect us to push him to overperform and risk a reoccurence???, wth is wrong with you? Is it kwior that always get dribbled by any half decent winger or is it zinchenko????, tomiyasu with an injury record , what is covered about that position???, we are a top team and we should not leave things to chances and sentiments
Big fan of the content you put out James👏🏼👏🏼 I genuinely never understand why people feel like Saliba is a better passer than Gabriel. If anyone is judged harshly on the Pass ratings, it's Gabriel. Easy 16.
I would much prefer Levi Colwill to Calafiori. If I could wave a magic wand, Edu would go to Chelsea and say that 'since our top choices (Hato, Calafiori) are too problematic, we'll explore a cheaper 3rd or 4th option: Levi Colwill. Chelsea are stacked with left-footed defenders and may be willing to sell.' And so then we sign Colwill for a little less, ending up with a better left-footed defender. .... James, you look at the numbers and know more than I -- do you think Levi Colwill is at least 'potentially' a much better signing than Calafiori (or Jorrel Hato).
Does Calafiori START in our best XI?
Yes. LB position White/Timber,Saliva,Gabriel,Calafiori
good question...i think timber still stars over him at left back
All day everyday!!
Yes over Ziny

Really looking forward to the Calafiori signing! Our defensive depth is amazing now compared to a few years ago 🤣
Lol, comedy gold

Interesting video. With the newest update I can't wait to see his new ratings.
Me too!
Definitely a fan of this style video! Keep it up 🤙🏼
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you!
Love this format. Should one on all our major play links.
Glad you liked it!! I will do!
Good to get an insight as to how he might fit in to the team. Thanks 🙏
Could you see Odegaard moved to left 8 and Timber playing right 8?
This was a good one. I’m here for these
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!

He seems like the final piece of that defensive line....just like he did with Zinny, Kiwior, Tomiyasu, Timber and Tavares
Excuses FC
Very cool, James 😊
Nice video mate 💯%👍
Wonderful James
Thanks james ❤

That's a class idea I just don't know if I have the time!
Football manager let’s gooooooooo keep it going PLSS
3:17 😂
Calafiori playing style reminds me of Gvardiol
Love this type of video 😊
Thank you!! Really glad you do
I am not considering Calafiori at LCB apart from a backup. Big Gabi owns his position, for me
you doing a brilliant job bro
Love man thank you!
You’re the man James
💪
Why do you play FM Touch instead of the normal full fledged version? It's available on Windows and Mac so I can't think of a reason why
Why do you play FM full stop? Are u lonely?
@@BrianConlon-ng5bw cause its fun? cant i enjoy things? 😭😭
@@remy7663 You enjoy playing FM?
I dread to think what you'd be doing if you were born in the 80s before the internet but i'm guessing it would involve crayons, a tree a goat and a distant relative...
Anyway, happy 10th birthday for next week
@@BrianConlon-ng5bw 😭😭😭 hope you find peace my guy
@@remy7663 I'm not your guy and i hope you find Grindr asap and leave the football to real fans
Hey James, are you guys going to the arsenal US tour?
Yes we are!
fm stats were the driving reason for the firmino transfer
@@SpicyRamen1466 for real?
@@TheGoonerverse i remember reading it somewhere, no source tho
James, why not compare his real season stats with arsenals current CB's? Wouldnt that give the viewers/us a better persective?

@@TheGoonerverse okay, i see.
I like your thinking, be different! Be unique!
Continue the great work brother 😉
@@thefutbollfanatic Thank you!!
Get him in now

All this data crunching and he’s not even signed yet! Let’s hope he actually joins us! 😂
I did enjoy this
I'm glad thank you!!
None of this means f*ck all. If he were elite he wouldant be getting passed around like a basketball wife
As someone who plays FM24, I do enjoy that you use their database - it’s not as silly as it sounds!
A lot of dodgy numbers on some of these attributes, and they especially stand out in comparisons
Our defence must stay...maybe zinchenko to sell and rest must stay
Inacio is a better player for me he will over a lot of positions he can play 6_3_4

My FM scout on Calafiori: "Sign as a Last Resort"
People also need to remember that I don't think FM update their ratings during a season
Head cannon; if arsenal sign him and Onana. Then we get them all in a starting 11, what an imposing team.
Cauliflower tielemanns.... nonsense
E don do bro 😂 You guys talk too much in the name of content..
Lol.

Give it a rest
But calafiori is not us yet..i think we need to wait until it official
