Football Manager 2016 - Arsenal Team Guide

2. Set Up A Scouting Network, Fill The U21s With Wonderkids

Wonderkids, wonderkids, plentiful wonderkids. The only way you'll enjoy lasting success on Football Manager is by signing your 2018 title-winning team in 2015. You've inherited an Arsenal squad that's rich in talent, and after spending an estimated £35m on Barbosa and a winger, you'll still have an enormous amount leftover. Don't sit on it, nor waste it. Invest. Spending a well-placed £10m now on a teenage sensation could grow into £50m and a Champions League trophy in the future. Youri Tielemans is a sensational youngster, Andrija Živkovi‡ is another potentially immense signing for less than a million, and Barcelona's Sergi Samper can be snapped up with an £8.5m release clause. Invest time into your scouting network, have them covering the globe, and if you spot a fair price, pay it. What's the worst that can happen?
