8 impressive wins in the league with our only blip a 2-2 draw against Valencia were we were 2-0 up a one point before they scored a couple of late goals, We did put 6 past Sevilla and At Madrid though.
In Europe we comfortably beat Man City home and away 4-1 and 3-0 before putting 5 past Shakhtar and securing a place in the next round of the Champions League.

After winning their first 12 league games in a row Real have dropped a few points in recent games to help us catch up to just 2 points behind them with a much better goal difference.

Best Young Player So Far - Sergi Roberto

View attachment 257152

Hes stepped up amazingly since Xavi left and despite that 2 star rating hes still a brilliant player its just not compared to Messi and Suarez​
 
Tactic seems to be doing the trick mate, out of interest, is it your own tactic or one you have downloaded?

Would be interesting to see if it works with other teams.

Excellent story btw keep up the good work!! Looking forward to see how the youngsters progress :)
 
Love reading your stories! Should be fun watching you destroy all possible records!

Messi has 16 goals so far this season so not bad but not like he was last season.

The tactic is called TX4-FM15 By Kun i downloaded it from FM Base several months ago, i have slightly changed and tweaked it over time but its worked well on my Man Utd, Inverness and Limerick saves.

Well i fell out with Rafinha a while ago about game time but wanted to keep him as he will come good in the next few years but i have never seen someone miss so much training i have fined him about 16 weeks of his wages this year.

So i wanted to give my reserves a few games and this seemed the perfect time as we beat Seoul thanks to goals from Munir and Song.

Club World Championships Final

View attachment 256720

The second string were having plenty of chances but just not putting the ball in the back of the net until Neymar came on and we won it 3-1 thanks to a Neymar goal and assists.
This also secured my 6th Trophy with Barcelona and i have now one all the Domestic Trophies i can with Barcelona.

Dec Results

No league matches this month but we did manage to have an easy 5 match run so i played a lot of my second string to stop them moaning with the likes of Bravo, Mascherano and Pedro all happy about their game time now.

We played 6 games in the Cup in the past couple of months beating Granada, R.Sociedad and then Valencia in the Semi Finals to set up another Final against Real Madrid.

View attachment 256119

The Final is early this year due to the European Championships

Alex Song has played a few games recently due to other injuries but is now set to miss the rest of the season himself after breaking his foot!

Jan/Feb Results

So along with all the Spanish Cup matches we won all 10 league matches in the past couple of months with some big scorelines towards the end of the month including putting 7 past Elche.
The big shock though has to come in the Champions League as we underestimate Plzen and lose 2-1 away from home setting up an interesting second leg.

6 points clear with a game in hand and a massive goal difference over Real Madrid, the main race now is for the Golden Boot with Suarez, Messi and Ronaldo all on 21 league goals.

Spanish Cup Final V Real Madrid

View attachment 256110

We came from behind with Ronaldo opening the scoring for them around the hour mark before Pedro equalized with around 10 minutes to go and then Rakitic won and scored the winning penalty.

In the Champions League we beat Plzen 5-0 back at the Nou Camp and then beat Man Utd 6-0 on aggregate in the Quarter Finals, we faced another English team in the Semi Finals as we beat Chelsea 2-1 in the 1st leg before edging out a 0-0 draw in the second leg and securing a place in the Final.

Well despite our Cup success we struggled a bit in the league dropping a lot of points with 5 wins from our 9 league games with 2 draws and 2 poor losses to Osasuna and At Madrid.

Ronaldo and Madrid have been on a mission in recent weeks and were now 2 points behind Real with 1 game in hand.

Champions League Final V Dortmund

View attachment 255849

AAAARRRGGGHJGRJGJJGGJ! We ****** lost! It was always going to be harder with Messi out injured but i felt we would still have enough, We really should have won but it wasnt to be and we were unable to retain the Champions League and complete the 6 trophy haul in one season.

Review

So all in all it was a good second season as we won 5 Trophies this season but i wont be able to get over the Champions League Final loss for a while!
We had MSN in fine form again whilst the likes of Grimaldo, Bartra, Roberto and Montoya are fully fledged first team players now and we also have a couple of youth intake prospects so it should start to get a little more interesting in terms of getting the most out of the youth intake players.

So i went for the Spain job but they didnt want to give it to me and it went to former Barca Manager Luis Enrique instead.

I did get the Holland job though without even going in for it, i will only do a Holland update twice a year until the big Tournaments as i look to add to my silverware.

Aug/Sept 2016

So were favourites to retain our Title this season whilst Real Madrid have only bought a couple of players for small fees so far, does anyone know if they get affected by the fact i havent bought anyone? As they dont seem to do much business i suppose in the real world if i went and spent £100Million they would feel they need to aswell?

So the main news is Neymar will miss the start of the season due to injury, the likes of Denis Suarez, Halilovic and Deulofeu have been welcomed back into the fold after loans and will be looking to get some serious game time.

Super Cup V Real Madrid

We only managed a 0-0 draw at their place in the 1st leg but we destroyed them in the 2nd leg at their place putting 4 past them and retaining the Spanish Super Cup.

So i made a grand total of £7.75Million as we sold Sandro and Dongou who unfortunately were never going to make it at this level and 3rd choice keeper Masip who wanted to leave for first team football. I tried to sell the likes of Dani Alves, Mascherano, Alex Song and Tello but couldnt even get rid of them for half their value!

Suarez has had a brilliant start to the new season but will miss 3 months with injury

So along with winning the Spanish Super Cup it was the perfect start to the new season with 7 league wins in a row and we won both of our Champions League Group games.

Highlight of the past couple months was putting 5 past Real Madrid in the League

View attachment 255458

Lowlight was Halilovic making his long awaited debut for the club and then getting injured a few days latter.

View attachment 255457

Dani Alves Intends to leave at the end of his contract which im more than happy with as he barely plays now and is on over 200k a week!

View attachment 255456

In Europe we put 5 past Anderlecht at our place including youth intake Rivas getting his first Champions League goal. But then i played weakened sides in the next two matches and lost to Anderlecht and Marseille away from home but it didnt matter as we beat AC Milan in the last game and secured top spot.
