THE YOUTH
I'll be updating this as the seasons go by to show their progress. (hopefully)

Dan Crowley

Start of first Season:

First thing I did was to have him be tutored by Rosicky who has a good player personality. I will put him through a 3 month rotation of Passing, Off the Ball, Quickness and Stamina.

Gedion Zelalem

Zelalem will be tutored by fellow German, Mesut Ozil. I will also put him through a 3 month rotation of Passing, Off the Ball, Quickness and Stamina.

Serge Gnabry

Gnabry to be tutored by Theo Walcott. 3 month rotation of passing, crossing, off the ball and strength.

Callum Chambers

Chambers will be tutored by Mathieu Debuchy. 3 month rotation of positioning, quickness and stamina.

Isaac Hayden

Isaac Hayden will be tutored by Mathieu Flamini. 3 month rotation of passing, tackling, positioning, off the ball and strength.

Yaya Sanogo

Sanogo will be tutored by Olivier Giroud. 3 months rotation of positioning and finishing.

Damien Martinez

Martinez will be tutored by Szczesny. I put him on the Goalkeeper schedule.

Alex Chamberlain

I plan to have Walcott tutor Chamberlain in the future. For now, I have him on the Wingers schedule.

Jack Wilshere

Jack doesn't have any tutors for now. Box-to-box schedule.

THE SQUAD
I'm using LFC Marshall's Summer Update (3 AUG) so these are my current squads.

SENIOR TEAM


U21


U18

THE TACTICS
As I mentioned, the aim will be to build a universal philosophy for the club. All three teams (Senior, U21, U18) will play the same tactics.


The first of which will be the 4-1-2-2-1 formation. I may change the fluidity to balanced if I decide to change some of the player roles.


Second tactic will be a Pellegrini-esque 4-4-2 formation. I'm thinking of using the tall-short striker combination upfront.


Lastly is an Asymmetrical 4-2-31 formation.

I'm hoping that these tactics will give me the desired result. I may be trying this out in the future for Ozil. A Van Gaal 5-3-2 is also on my mind and I will try to implement that perhaps later in the save.

After being inspired from reading Cleon's Ajax thread, I've decided to start this story. Arsenal have excellent youth facilities and are associated with nice passing football. I was a big fan of how Arsenal played during the Invincibles season and I am hoping create a tactic that plays similar football.

Board Expectations:
Play Possession Football
Play Attacking Football
Develop players using the Club's youth system

To achieve the above, I'll be a creating a set of tactics that plays possession and attacking football. These tactics will be used for all teams which include the reserves and U18s to instill the club's philosophy. I will bring promoting at least 3 youth players into the main team every two seasons.

Tactics and Pre-season to come next.
