Now, I know a little challenge is always wanted in stories and Barcelona don't look like much of challenge however Barcelona(I) will be under a transfer ban until January 2016 so it makes it a bit harder to keep up with Real Madrid and other top European clubs.

I am going to try varied versions of the tiki taka system throughout my story. Possession football seems ever more difficult in FM15 so it will be a challenge hopefully.

Targets:
Bring youth into first team during ban period.
Try and keep Barcelona Spanish Friendly (Sign Spanish players mostly)
Complete a treble

Those targets don't seem all too difficult but I hope you enjoy the story even though it isn't your usual challenging one. My aims for the story will change throughout and I am open to any suggestions for transfers after the ban has been lifted.

I don't have much to work with. Only got Messi, Neymar and Suarez, it's going to be a struggle ;)

Transfers

View attachment 329950

So instead of panicking and buying every wonderkid there is (Balanata, Romero and etc) I wanted to go around the transfer market realistically and calmy. I tried to sign Vallejo (yes he's a wonderkid) but he rejected me and went to Manchester City. I tried signing Jose Luis Gaya from Valencia to replace Adriano in the Left back position but Valencia were not budging on his price. They were asking for too much. So after failing to signing the players I wanted I decided to take the risk and not sign anyone.

Pre Season

View attachment 329951

Pre Season did not go how I imagined it would. I was making tweaks to the tactic every game to get that magic formula but I came up short everytime. Considering the teams I played I was most digusted with the defending as we did not keep a single cleen sheet throughout pre season.

Season Start

Pre season wasn't successful so I wasn't looking forward to such a great start considering my tactic was still needing tweaks.

Tragic News

View attachment 329513

With it being October I was looking forward to Suarez finally getting to play. Sadly just weeks before his ban was over he got a serious injury putting him out until at least New Year.

October was a great month with us only conceding in one game and what a game that was. Rafinha may have scored the most important goal so far with the 90th minute winner against Madrid.

A great start to the campaign with 9 wins out of 9 and my have we been scoring for fun. Messi to break the 50 goal record?

Disgusting results in the champions league with Dani Alves letting the team down against PSG with a sending off. 3 goals in the last 10 mins is shocking. Don't even get me started on Prague. Overall, in November the defence have truly let me down. Just too leaky and what makes matters worse is that my 'best' CB (Pique) makes most of the mistakes.

Even though we are first in the league I still think we've been poor defensively. I hate going into a game knowing the only way I can win is by outscoring the opposition. November will be a month to forget for the defence.

Still experiencing issues within the defence and it doesn't look like improving any time soon. The attack isn't having many problems and with Suarez returning in January we might get to see some more goals.

We are going good in the league with the team scoring for fun however I am not happy to see that our games to goals conceded ratio is 1:1

Transfers

January was not a pleasant month for me as Munir sadly left the club due to a argument with me. He wanted play time and I offered him a loan for the time being. He rejected it and Leverkusen came in and activated his 10 Mil release clause. I couldn't give Munir much game time with Messi, Pedro, Neymar all playing well and Suarez also coming into the mix. Hopefully we can get him back for a good price after the ban is over.

Nice to see my players get majority of the awards in Europe. Rafinha looks like he could be the new Ronaldinho.

Good set of results again sadly with no improvements to the defensive side of our game.

I will probably try a more 'challenging' story later on in the year. This is just a fun story to start FM15 off with :)

I just hope people are enjoying the story. I know it's an easy one but if people aren't enjoying then I'm wasting my time.

Some impressive results again with a few more clean sheets and Suarez has finally found his rhythm. The performance of the month has to be against Madrid. I was surprised out how much we outplayed them.

No change in the league really. I'm just unstoppable in the league at the moment and it looks likely like we'll be League Champions this season.

Disappointed with the 2 away draws but good results for the most part this month hopefully the team don't start relaxing due to the big lead in the league. Not a bad result against Bayern if I say so myself ;)

Winning the league with 5 games to go is a pretty good start to this save. Easy season I would say.

I knew the team would start relaxing and my was I furious at the disgraceful lose against Cordoba. Neymar didn't help either with a red card away at Arsenal within 10 mins. Jordi Alba followed in Neymar's footsteps and also got a red card in the 2nd leg of the Arsenal game within the first 20 mins. I was surprised to even qualify for the final considering I played 150 mins of the 2 legs with 10 men.

A good easy win in the Final against Madrid. The spanish cup wasn't really much of a fuss for me but it's nice to have won it. Now to complete the treble.
