just caught up with this, brilliant mate!

This is still fantastic. Personally I'd like to see you stick with just academy players wherever possible, but maybe if you're desperate then signing one or two young Spaniards would be best. Or maybe if you get a feeder club and set a rule that you can only buy young players from your feeder teams.
Yeah im going to see how it goes, always new it would get tougher but were still winning trophies and competing in all competitions at the moment, some of my youngsters have had real breakout years

So along with the already mentioned win against Spain in the Nations League we then beat Russia by the same 2-0 scoreline 4 days later at our place, we then beat Chile 2-0 in a friendly before beating Spain again by the same 2-0 scoreline, we ended the year with a 1-1 draw in Russia but it didnt matter as we had already qualified for the Semi Finals of the Nations League

We top our Nations League group with Sterling and Wilshere on top form

We had the Club World Championships up next beating a Japanese side in the Semi Finals thanks to an early goal from young RB Marc before Neymar netted a late brace and then went on to beat Mexican side Tigre in the Final with Rivas putting on a brilliant performance with a goal and 2 assists.

Not sure where the 3 bought players comes from? I re-signed my second choice gk a few years ago but thats it, im guessing the money spent on transfers aswell is from staff i have bought in? I cant believe i have spent as much on Agents than i have made on outgoing transfers

I let Avila go for £1Million as i now have plenty of options at backup keeper

So along with the Spanish Cup heartache we also lost the 1st leg in the Champions League Knockout stages against Napoli as they netted a very late winner in Italy.
Not a bad couple of months in the league as we win 9 from 10 league matches with the only blip losing 3-2 to Valencia after taking an early 2-0 lead they roared back in the second half with 3 goals.

Loving this mate, seems Valencia have strengthened well!
Their still terrible with their money though! Will buy the likes of Mitrovic for over £20Million and sell him for less than half that a year later, they never seem to have settled squad with so many people leaving only a season after joining
 
****** ****, you have pumped out the updates today! Brilliant going on another champions league just need to win the league back now
 
Haha,Neymar 5 ballon d'or ;)
Better La Liga performance,i'm sure you can win it this year
And it seems that Neymar is your top goalscorer now ;)

Thanks mate, its nice Neymar has taken over the goalscoring burden now Messi's nearly 36, Messi still gets his share of goals and i hope he doesnt retire for a few seasons yet
 
It's time for the next generation in our Barca. Messi is 36, Neymar is 31, Pique is 35 and retiring. I hope you'll get better regens fron now on.

If you don't want to buy any new regens from Spain-Catalonia, at least give more playing time to your own. You may lose some trophies, but you'll prepare a great team for the future.

Messi and Neymar are still the two of the best players in the World so im going to stick with them to the end, RB Perez has played over 40 games this season whilst Miravent, Nicieza and Rivas have over 20 games each and im starting to get big money offers for some of them. Im into the next season now and the first team squad has changed a little more.

So after our 1-0 loss in the 1st leg to Napoli we came roaring back with a 5-2 romp with Traore netting a Hattrick to set up a Quarter Final against PSG. We beat PSG 1-0 at our place with Traore netting the only goal again before drawing 2-2 back in Paris and make the Semis. We have got Bayern Munich in the Semi Finals and will play them next month.
10 wins from 11 games in the league as we are on fire smashing in the goals especially near the end of the month winning 7-0, 5-1 and 5-1.

The last result against Deportivo a 5-1 win helped us ****** back the Title from Real Madrid with a couple of games to go and secure my 7th League Title in 9 Seasons.

10 points clear at the top of the table with Neymar topping the Goalscorer, Average Rating and Assists Charts, i really think getting knocked out of the Cup so early helped us out as we had 6 games less to play this season.

Another title, well done! Might have to start re-training some LB's though :S

Gedeon Perez is really the first youth intake player to make the first team but the likes of Nicieza, Rivas, Miravent, Criado and Alfaro all played a decent amount of games this season.

Best Eleven Ever - 9 Seasons

View attachment 243497

No one else joined the Best Eleven Ever this season but Messi is closing in on 400 goals since i took charge and Neymar has broken the 300 goal barrier, its a shame Suarez left when he did because between them MSN have 898 goals in 9 seasons so just shy of 100 goals a season and Suarez hasnt been around for 5 or so years.
