If you're not playing the Arsenal way, you're doing it wrong. 4-2-3-1 is the way forward. Arsenal are all about beautiful attacking football, but for that to happen, you need a solid base. Set full backs to support rather than allowing them free reign to bomb forward, and give Mertesacker the Limited Defender role. It may seem like an insult, but he really can be the defensive star of your team if you play to his clear strengths. Moving onto the midfield, Ramsey is your ideal deep-lying playmaker, while Francis Coquelin is your ideal Ball-Winning Midfielder unless you really fancy a luxury upgrade. Mesut Ozil will hold it altogether in the Advanced Playmaker role, and Olivier Giroud will lead the line, but the key components will be the Inside Forwards, but who are they?
