Great game.
It's basically a mixture of Virtues Last Reward/Ghost Trick and Ace Attorney.
Allthough you really need to like japanese games.

What?!
I was gonna buy it if there was a discount. Haven't played it obviously, but I've only heard good things about it (except that it drags a bit at the start).
The rise of the GOAT.

Never played ghost trick but really enjoyed playing the other 2.

Bla, go make the most money before you die mate
your best player from the academy system just left because he was the 5th choice and couldn't get a game.
Let's not pretend there's another class of '92

£16 million for a 5th choice striker :looool
Thanks Arsenal
Thanks Arsenal
Using Wembely for everything sucks. Get England back to moving about. Same goes for the FA Cup semis.

Nice, just bought it.
Do you mean harry wilson?
He is a wales international and still plays in our under 18s :lol
He will be amazing though
Migs is probably the weakest keeper out of the top seven
Valdes would give good competition
I'm still not sure what John Achteberg does though (our GK coach). We need Xavi Valero back.

Give him time to settle. Good when we need to hold on to secure results.
"A report into the summer transfer window in Europe has claimed that the continents leading clubs have paid 16% more for players than five years ago, with new Manchester United signing Ángel di María and former Chelsea defender David Luiz among those transfers considered way over the market rate.
The Swiss-based CIES Football Observatory compiled data from across Europes big five leagues in England, Spain, Germany, Italy and France during the window using what is described on its website as an exclusive algorithm created on the basis of nearly 1,500 fee paying transfers which have occurred during the previous five years.
Our new data analysis has revealed that overall, clubs paid on average 16% more than they invested in the five previous years for players with similar characteristics, CIES said.
This confirms the ongoing inflation trend of the transfer market at the top end of the football pyramid.
The inflation trend is mainly due to the sums spent by a handful of wealthy clubs ready to pay more than a player is worth to get the best talent.
Di Marías move from Real Madrid to Manchester United for a British record £59.7m (75.5m) is cited as the most inflated fee in the recent window and estimated to be as much as £24m (30m). That is closely followed by Paris Saint-Germains purchase of the Brazil defender Luiz, who left Stamford Bridge for a fee of £50m (62m) but is estimated to be worth £23m (29m) less.
The study also highlights James Rodríguezs move to Real Madrid, who despite winning the World Cups Golden Boot in Brazil was worth as much as £20m (25m) less than the £63m (80m) paid to Monaco.
In contrast, Liverpool were involved in two transfers where CIES estimated players were undervalued the purchase of Mario Balotelli from Milan for £16m (20.2m) and the sale of Luis Suárez to Barcelona for £75m (94m). Both were valued considerably higher, with Balotelli worth almost double his fee and Suárez £9.5m (12m) more than Barcelona eventually paid, a fact attributed to the existence of buyout clauses and/or non-sporting related issue.
The third most undervalued player was Spains Diego Costa, who Chelsea bought from Atlético Madrid for £32m (40.5m) £8m (10m) less than he was worth, although once more his price was settled by a buyout clause in his contract."

Di Maria only worth £1m more than David fucking Luiz. Fuck off.
Overall i'd say you guys handle the transfer market best. You get in there, you already know what you need, and now your squad's had plenty of time to gel nicely while everyone else like Wenger is scrambling around with lineups and new players. You closed for business weeks and weeks ago for the most part.

That's not what they mean.
They mean Di Maria "should" have cost £36m and Luiz £27m.

Oh, still £27m for David Luiz is a joke.
When rich owners decide they have had enough but that's not going to happen anytime soon.
It's just dawned on me the wealth of attacking talent across the top six of the Premier League, in relation to all other major European leagues:
Chelsea: Hazard, Costa, Schurrle, Fabregas
City: Aguero, Dzeko, Jovetic, Silva
Liverpool: Sterling, Sturridge, Balotelli, Markovic
Arsenal: Sanchez, Ozil, Walcott, Welbeck
United: RVP, Falcao, Rooney, Di Maria
Everton: Lukaku, Mirallas, Barkley, Naismith
It's fucking astonishing.
That's why the Premier League is the best league.

Don't think for a while. There's still a shitload of growth potential, especially in places like America where interest has been slowly but surely growing, and Asia.

Naismith still one of the few players other than Messi that understands the false nine position. Ridiculous to think really.

I knew it was coming
Even as I got to the last name I knew this is it
But it still killed me

The fact that all of the major teams are having goals scored against them, some at will is equally exciting.

Until they're getting ripped a new one because the defense is shit.
