Barcelona - La Masia - Homegrown Challenge the 2nd

look for a GK under the age of 18, and narrow results to

Handling 15
One on ones 15
Reflexes 15

reduce a point each if there's no one there for the earlier..

or if there are many, drop the age to 17 or 16!

and buy one GK to serve you for the future.. whatever nationality! ;)

the player will be HG in 3 years?

Always nice to destroy Real Madrid in the Clasico

View attachment 236814

Despite being rubbish my son signs a professional deal with the club, hes got 9 goals in 24 games since i got him in the Youth Intake so despite his poor stats he could probably still score thanks to my brilliant wingers.

Valencia Spend Again In The Winter Window

Spanish Cup

In the Cup we faced Elche in the 5th rnd beating them 4-0 in the 1st leg allowing us to rest some key players in the 2nd leg and boy did it show as they won 2-1 but it wasnt enough to go through.
We then faced Real Madrid in what could be considered a Final in itself, we smashed them 4-0 in the 1st leg before winning a highly entertaining second leg 5-4 with it ending on aggregate 9-4.
Next up was an easier tie against Rayo where we won the 1st leg 3-0 and again rested players for the second leg and only managed a draw but it didnt really matter as we go on to face At Bilbao in the Final.

Yeah ive got a couple of GK's im looking at including a Portugese youngster at Chelsea and a German from Leverkusen but when i narrow it down theirs not a lot out there, for instance using your 3 attributes for under 21's gets me down to 4 players.

those 3 attributes, maybe at 14 each, but under 18/21 max, then that'll be fine I guess..

anyway, your son is doing well it seems!! great...

and Markovic at Man Utd... wow!
 
Hey guys im really tempted to leave Barcelona come the end of the season, feel as if i cant really do much more here and would love to move on with the same save and manager, would love to here peoples thoughts on whether i should leave, carry on as England manager for a while or my preferred option of taking charge of the English team thats had the biggest fall from grace since playing in the Premier League? Please let me know what you all think
 
You should do what motivates you mate, it's your save and no matter what we will enjoy it.
 
Who is it who's had that fall from grace?
no1 that good Swansea and Stoke are in the Championship their are only 4 different teams in the Premier League from when i started in 2014
 
I'd like to see you stay at barca but I'd go with what you want mate, otherwise the story will fizzle out without your motivation
 
Im probably going to stick with Barca, probably played too much FM the other day and was watching Soccer Saturday and Match of the Day and got carried away with wanting to play as someone else but im back on the Barca Bandwagon now

Champions League

So after losing to Monaco in the 1st leg 2-1 we comfortably beat them 2-0 back at our place and set up an All Spanish Quarter Final against Valencia.
So along with the previous tie we lost to Valencia in a close fought defeat 3-2 before beating them 2-0 back at our place and will face another French team in the form of PSG in the Semi Finals.
8 wins from 10 in the league as we drop points by drawing with Celta but the big shock was losing to Real Zaragoza and losing our 60 odd game unbeaten run from over 2 seasons.

Spanish Cup Final V At Bilbao

View attachment 234881

A decent win in the Cup Final with Orlando Payan getting a rare start and impressing during the match and getting a decent goal. This was my 9th Spanish Cup Win but they are slowing up now after we won 7 in a row but in recent years its been 2 in 6 years.

Along with the cup games ive already mentioned we won our last 3 league games to confirm another league title whilst 35 year old Neymar netted in 7 games in a row.

So despite only losing once we still only just won the league by 2 points with a grand total of 99 points, Real Madrid netted a lot more than us but we had a superb defence this year conceding just 15 goals in 38 league games.

We dominated the game and had the better chances but it was Italy that took the lead near the hour mark, I probably shouldnt have started my son but i did and we paid for it, i brought on Bebis who managed to score very late on to take it to extra time were Record Breaker Raheem Sterling netted the winner.

It was a pretty even game against my former side who i won the World Cup with an incredible 9 years ago! Where has the time gone?!? If i had stayed with them i think i would have won a lot more trophies but i have enjoyed my time with Spain and England. They won with a very late extra time goal right before i thought the game was going to penalties.

First off a moment of silence for Lionel Messi as he ends his career at the age of 40


View attachment 234820

So i really wanted a new striker and have struggled to find someone ever since Rivas left last season, we had to play 35 year old Neymar up top for a lot of the season when he wasnt injured, he did well but i need another option so i paid out a crazy amount of over £40Million for a young striker

Miguel Linares - ST

The other signing was a very young left back with a lot of potential who had a really good release clause of just £3.6Million.
