Same. I've been slowly building Arsenal's 14-15 roster, so I can learn it a bit better.

I have 2 achievements left on the Xbox One version, one of which requires me completing one of these "highlights of the week" on World Class difficulty and it is an absolute pain in the arse. Those frickers keep possession like crazy.

WC = don't sprint when you have possession unless your breaking for the corners for the cross and pass- A lot. Make sure you have a target man and you will profit. I score most of my goals against it off corners.

Yes, I used to follow the BPL when I was younger and pulled for the Spurs. Now that I've gotten back into it (much to the chagrin of my wife), and the Spurs are good, I figured I'd look like a bandwagon fan, so I'm pulling for Tim Howard and Everton now.

It would be fine if I only had to play a game. The issue is they have these ridiculous challenges like score 2 goals in stoppage time or score 4 goals in a half.

I love the fans ironically cheering for the spray every time it comes out

WC is really tough in 14 anyway. Game plays very tight and the field feels really narrow as compared to other iterations of FIFA. Scoring two stoppage goals in WC is ridiculous.

FIFA 13 is too wide open imo. 12 was probably the best they've done.

I lived with a couple of my pledge brothers when that came out and we played an insane amount of hours in 12.

I want to but I can't. Football is taking way too much room in my brain to follow EPL.

Interested to see Arsenal at full strength today.

They looked rather meh midweek in Istanbul vs Besiktas, but that's always a very challenging trip on a shite field.

Podolski isn't listed in the starting XI or the subs. Rumored to be on the way out and it seems like they have one move left in them. Apparently it will be much more likely if they beat Besiktas later this week.

They've been rather underwhelming in their first 2 games.

Calum Chambers though

I don't even understand the needs of my own team yet.

It takes a while to get the needs and what not down. Hell I'm still much a novice and have watched more soccer than any other sport the last two years.

(Per capita Football is my most watched, but there's a lot of soccer out there)

Yeah my big way of keeping track of my team's is through podcasts. I listen to the local Memphis radio all the time, so I get a ton of Grizzlies talk. Been listening to the Men in Blazers podcast.

I'm probably gonna have to hunt down an Arsenal podcast.
