View attachment 334746

So we went on a 5 match winless run before some of our players started to come back from injury and the fixtures were kinder to us against some easier teams. Our backup keeper has 1 star potential rating and conceded 12 goals in 7 games!

The league is out of our reach after that poor injury hit run but im sure we can get back up to second after we play our games in hand.

Our form has been all over the place with the likes of Neymar missing several months this season and on average 8 players unavailable per matchday but after the 3 losses to Real Madrid in a row i changed up the tactic and it paid off for a while as we rattled off 7 wins in a row before Man City comfortably beat us to bring us back down to earth.

So the league is all but lost and we go from last season of winning the Quadruple to winning the smaller cups of the European Super Cup, Spanish Super Cup and Club World Championship.

My only decent youth intake player looks a bit good and he has the same name as our Major Rivals Legendary player Raul!

And he scored on his debut, my main aim now is to get him to play as many games as possible,

Nice story mate.

I will definetely follow it in the following weeks.

I just don't get why players as Neymar, Mascherano, Alba, Ter Stegen, Alex Song and DAlves are still in your club eventhough they are not homegrown...?

I hope you'll win the title back !

Well its more about not signing anyone and bringing the youth through, if i got rid of all of them straight away i would have been screwed and got fired, Song, Alves and Mascherano all have their contracts up at the end of the season anyway and i dont think will be renewed so it will be down to just 3 out of a 25 man squad.

We went on a good little winning run as i used my full squad once the title was lost to us and a lot of the fringe players didnt disappoint until the last couple of matches, youngster Raul managed to get another couple of goals too, 3 goals and 2 assists in 7 games isnt bad for a youngster.

An amazing start to the new season sees us win 21 out of our first 24 games whilst only drawing the other 3 meaning an impressive unbeaten start to the season. Rotation has been key with a lot of the youngsters getting more game time and less injuries hitting us compared to last season.

6 points clear but Real Madrid do have a game in hand but our goal difference is incredible! Whilst we are into our 4th season of no money spent Real Madrid spent £106Million this Summer and we are still above them.

What is your financial status like? I'd imagine with selling a few of the better players early on, older players with hefty salaries leaving and not spending any money your balance is looking fairly healthy?

Its not massive, around £100Million, we still have a couple of loans to pay offand Messi is on crazy money whilst the likes of Iniesta, Pique, Neymar and Fabregas are on over 200k a week the younger players coming through are not on such mental money but it may still be a while before we see that benefit, Overall wages and bonuses cost £248Million last year!
 
So im almost halfway through the 2018 season around 2 years ahead of my last post and since then i have won 2 Spanish Super Cups, 2 La Liga's and a Spanish Cup.
I have recently taken charge of the National team and the likes of Iniesta and Fabregas moving on.

Heres My Current Best Starting 11 and Tactic

View attachment 333441

My best couple of prospects who are getting game time are Raul and Iribar a striker and a left back

View attachment 333440View attachment 333439

Raul already has 29 goals in 56 league games and is only 18! Could he be even better than the Raul from Real?​
 
Looking really good this, Raul could probably beat Messi's records?

Hes doing well but Messi is still amazing for me and only 31! Hes probably got at least 5 more years in him and last season scored 60 goals in 54 games and 27 assists!
