FIFA Career Mode Theatre

Over the past year and a half, #NewArsenal have been through a lot. There have been (few) highs and (many) lows, but the true mark of a good team is how it manages each of them. This season has been no exception, and the past couple of weeks have seen the club hit a bit of a skid, but with experience comes patience. These are touch-and-go times for the Gunners' new management, but they've come so far, and with any luck, they'll be able to use those adverse circumstances as an opportunity to grow. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

The Premier League season rumbles on, and somehow, #NewArsenal have yet to concede defeat. Instead of enjoying the success of their experiment, though, its leadership seems determined that it's all going to come crashing down sooner rather than later. They've been snake-bitten by the same issues so many times over the past year that that's just what they've come to expect. They've even begun to wonder if their new squad is....cursed.

Over a year into the #NewArsenal project, the fans are starting to get a little...antsy. The season has started well enough, but there's a sense around the club that things could go south at any time. There won't be much room for error this time around, either--it's time for the new regime's plan to start yielding some results. It's one thing to have ideas on paper, but at the end of the day, this ownership group will be judged on how well they put it all into practice. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

As the new Premier League season begins, the hierarchy at #NewArsenal are starting to catch feelings for the club they've been running for the past year. All of the time and effort they've put into getting to know the Arsenal has made them see things a little differently, but if the papers are to be believed, the feeling isn't mutual...yet. They've got a new season in front of them to win the club over, but if they can't make it happen, they may be in for a nasty breakup pretty soon. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

As the Premier League season approaches, the higher-ups at #NewArsenal continue to search high and low for new recruits. Their unconventional methods continue to draw criticism, but no matter what the #haters say, they're staying the course. It may look like madness from the outside, and at the end of the day it may very well be so--but there is a method, and they're sticking to it.

After spending their (less than successful) first season doing their best to please everyone else, #NewArsenal are determined that this year, they're going to do things THEIR way. Is it going to be popular with the fans? Probably not. But they're *pretty* sure it's going to work, and at the end of the day, they'll sleep better knowing that they were true to themselves, win or lose. Preferably win, though.

Once more into the breach, dear friends, once more. Season two of Career Mode Theatre debuts August 13th, wherever you get your podcasts.

Will and David do their best impressions of their FCMT characters and recommend players for Arsenal to sign (and get rid of) this summer. Granit Xhaka, if you were thinking about listening, maybe don't.

Arsenal have had a positively woeful Premier League campaign in 2020-21. In this edition of Question of the Week, Will and David discuss the likelihood of the Gunners getting rid of Mikel Arteta (and his stunning cheekbones), as well as a few potential options as his replacement. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

FCMT: THE MUSICAL Career Mode Theatre hosts Will Shingleton and David Coggin give their takes on the greatest FIFA songs, soundtracks, and #vibes of all time. Disclaimer: we don't own any of this music (obviously), and no Google Homes were harmed in the making of this video. https://open.spotify.com/user/1259232610/playlist/39fS84vwAr1aYH2qdEk2Gn?si=OoT7lhptSOOVxlb9zlQ7oQ

In this thrilling season finale, #newArsenal are faced with a sprint to the finish in the Premier League. As they gun for a spot in the Champions League, every match is a must-win match, but will this young squad be up to the task? And if they aren't, will the new front office survive into 2021?

The 2019-20 season marches on into spring, and further into #newArsenal's cup competitions. The opportunities to win a trophy in this first season are dwindling, but with a new core and renewed enthusiasm, can this young group of Gunners find a way to keep marching towards some silverware?

Much has happened since our last Question of the Week, including an Arsenal FA Cup triumph, a Bayern-Barcelona bludgeoning, a new aging Brazilian for Arsenal fans to love, and, of course, the unceremonious self-sacking of Raul Sanllehi. Somehow, we kept it under an hour! Career Mode Theatre puts out new episodes every Friday (except this one), and new YouTube content every week. Give us a like, we're not weirdos or anything.

#NewArsenal have spent a quarter of a billion dollars on new players, but as the winter turns into spring, they quickly begin to realize that the only thing that amount of money can't buy for them is goals. With the Champions League dream slipping away, Arteta's mob must find a new goalscorer that can bring them back to glory--and fast.

Aubameyang is headed out the door, and #NewArsenal is, in the words of Jean-Ralphio Saperstein, "flush with caaaaash." They've got a chance to build a team that could restore Arsenal to its former glory, but the new management group is also painfully aware of how easily it could all go horribly wrong. Will they spend the money wisely? Who knows. But you can bet your Azpilicueta that they're going to spend it.

As the season begins to change, so too does the form of #NewArsenal. An unprecedented 14-match winning streak in all competitions has fallen in the first four months of Arteta's reign, but as the team will soon find out, colder weather sometimes brings colder fortunes. And passive-aggressive comments from Lee Dixon.

In this episode of Question of the Week, Will and David discuss who's better at FIFA because the internet told them to. Also, some Champions League stuff and some reminiscing about Tiger Woods PGA Tour games. Career Mode Theatre puts out new episodes every Friday, and new YouTube content every week.

Will and David discuss the new FIFA 21 trailer, the tweaks that will be (hopefully successfully) implemented in the new title, and the pipe dreams for the game that will undoubtedly just leave them disappointed.

In the aftermath of the controversial sale, #newArsenal must now prepare for the post-Aubameyang age. With their best player just a couple of months away from leaving for Real Madrid, there are many questions that need to be answered. Where will the goals come from? How will the money be reinvested? Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy? Do you believe in life after love?

In the first "Question of the Week" segment for FCMT, David and Will answer questions (from listeners that are totally real) about the origins of the podcast, the state of Career Mode, and their deepest, darkest secrets. Just kidding. Or are we?

The 2019-20 Premier League season begins, and a new era of Arsenal Football Club along with it. There are matches to try and win, and getting off to a good start is crucial, but the last two weeks of the transfer window loom largest of all. What will the new management group do with this opportunity, and how many different ways can they disappoint their supporters as they're doing it?

As a new ownership group takes over at the Emirates, the new management team and backroom staff spend the first six weeks of their tenure trying to establish a new direction for their new club through the transfer window. They are the gatekeepers for what will become the #newArsenal, and apart from the fact that they're Americans, everyone in North London hates them already, and most importantly, they've never done this before, everything seems fine. What could go wrong?

Did anyone ask for this? No. But here it is anyway. Career Mode Theatre debuts July 10th. We're sorry.
