Barcelona - La Masia - Homegrown Challenge

Your injury problems are unreal!! And I've never known Barca to have so many 1-0 wins lol! But it's credit to you that you've stayed top of the league and remained unbeaten with so many first teamers missing throughout the season!

Thanks for reading, yeah the injuries have been a right pain feel like Suarez hasnt been able to get going at all this season and even Messi has had 4 injuries, Real Madrid dont seem to be faltering themselves either which has made it tough but im having fun that in a weird way its not too easy!

May 2018 - End of Season

Top Goalscorer - Lionel Messi - 25 Goals

View attachment 38605

Messi by his standards had a poor season but he still was our top goalscorer with 25 goals, his injuries were a pain though he missed around 16 games this season thanks to all his knocks

Best Player - Philippe Coutinho - 20 Goals, 13 Assists and 11 Man of the matches in a stellar first season for Coutinho, he even missed 10 games through injury!

View attachment 38601

Best Young Player - Ousmane Dembele - Hes not even first choice in the team but with so many injuries to our front three he has still managed to play 29 games and 22 sub appearances with 18 goals and 12 assists

Had to just add Abel Ruiz in with this as he bagged 10 goals in 10 starts with 27 sub appearances

The League Win was amazing for the first season but i really want us to go further in Europe next season and carry on bringing the young players through

Cancelled the training facilities upgrade too

They hammered our goal but could only find the net once with new signing Harry Kane going off injured which definitely helped us! We had very few chances but it was Umtiti who took it from a corner to net the equalizer

Lets take a look at a couple of the big new Real Madrid signings

First De Ligt joins from Ajax for £20.5Million

Well their goes my theory that the other teams dont seem to spend as much if you dont as Real Madrid splash £216Million in the summer but that is offset a bit by selling Varane to Man City

Our Summer window consists of a few small transfers out and a few loans, im trying to keep the squad together, i have had offers for fringe players like Andre Gomes and Semedo but up until i have youth players i feel that can come in for them i feel it pointless to sell them for the sake of it

We beat them easily at home but this time around nothing went our way. they put 5 past us but it was a closer game than it looked with 2 goals disallowed and us hitting the post 3 times! Sergi Roberto went and got sent off late on just to p me off even more

We still top the group on goal difference for now but its likely Roma will win their game in hand against Mainz setting up a three way 7 point tie with 2 games to go

3rd best youth intake prospect is winger Garcia but not sure if he will make it

Something in training could well have just changed our season for the worse
Ter Stegen is out for 7 weeks and will miss most of what is left of the season

We have to call back young Keeper Fran from his loan spell at Mallorca as backup to Cillessen

As you might notice, i have picked up an idea from ILOVELAMP in that i am adding the year they joined through youth intake to their name so i can easily follow their progress, i will only do this to the ones i feel have a chance of making it

Just as Alcacer started to find form Ruiz has lost it not having scored for 8 games

Luis Suarez has 31 goals in 37 games for us and has simply been the difference so far in what has been a fantastic season to the one last year where we struggled in the Cups

Coutinho netted a minute in and that was that as we stroll to another fine win, we seem to have hit a bit of good goalscoring form at the right time and it allows me to bring the youngsters on in these matches

Iniesta out for 5 weeks
