There are some face/kit packs and club logo packs on the front page. If you go to sortitoutsi.net, their forums are pretty good. You'll have to sign up I think to get access to the downloads.

This is correct. The updated 8.0.2 patch fixes the Defoe issue.

Hi, just wondering if you guys could help me. I am near christmas in my first season with Arsenal and doing ok. Currently in 3rd. My attacking game is really strong and there are very few games I don't score in. I have an attacking mentality except for all my defenders who are set to defensive. Basically I win games by out scoring the opposition.
Bottom line is I let in far too many goals for my liking and games can get very tense. So do you guys have any tips to sure up my defence?
My defenders are:
Gallas, Toure, Micah Richards, Djourou, Senderos, Clichy, Eboue, Sagna, Traore.
Goalkeepers:
Lehmann, Fabianski

There is a guide I followed when setting up my system.
If you think about it, if you have all of your outfield players set to normal on the exact same setting, they will move around as a unit, correct?
If you have your midfield and attack all attacking with defenders on a defensive strategy, then they will have a pretty organised shape up front whilst the defensive will be left with a massive gap between themselves and the midfield.
Maybe try reducing the mentality of your central midfielders. I like to give them barrow arrows moving back to defensive midfield. Helps a lot.

Its 2014, Kaka and VDV are getting regular long term injurys and are 32 each now.
Problem: No good young AMCs! Ive got a few very promicing youngsters, but none that can make the step up at the moment!.
So my only choice is to buy a 28 year old Nasri as a stop gap solution.

On the up side, ive just done a squad audit using scout, and ive got 30 youngsters with PAs higher than 170! 
Im in september now, and ive worked out that at the end of the season i'll need, due to age/fallen abilities:
1xDC
1xDR
2xAMC
And if Cassani takes an ability nose dive like Alves has, a DL.
The DC can be taken up by a 24 year old Finnish player.
The DR can be taken up by a 20 year old Italian ive got out on loan at another seriaA club whos doing well.
That leaves me with 2xAMCs being needed. I can get Nasri for under £30m i think, then i can promote one of my promicing AMCs as well i suppose.
My only doubt is that the young DR might not be suited to my system.
His acceleration/pace is 14/14.
Stamina is 15.
Tackling is 14.
Positioning is 12.
Not the finished article, as hes currently at 148/180, so all but his speed should get better i suppose. Is 14/14 good enough for Memphistos tactic though?

Managed to get Nasri for £28m + 10%. Coming at the end of the season. He should be 28 i think when he comes to me. So i'll be able to get a good 3 seasons out of him at least.
My problem now is getting Kaka & VDV to either leave or go out on loan.

How come I've never had that
