Hii. FC Barcelona is my fav football. It is truly said that it is MORE THAN A CLUB!!
Although it is one of the easiest challenge on FM,it requires some good gameplay. I have compiled a small guide to be successful with FC Barcelona.
PS: I would recommend using my winter patch(not promoting) since many changes are done here like adding shirt spoonsors deal,transfer of afellay,improvement of many players like Pedro etc etc...

I start with the players(position wise).
Barcelona already have world-class players for each position so there is no need to buy ones but the players are ageing so i would suggest buying young players who will be good enough for first team positions in future!!

Goalkeepers:
* Victor Valdes
*Jose Manuel Pinto
*Ruben Mino
*Jose Manuel Pinto
*Ruben Mino
Victor Valdes is easily your first choice keeper and he is young too(keeper wise). Although Pinto and Mino are decent backups,i would recommend selling them and buy Eneyeama as backup who will cost just 275k euros(sweet deal huh).
In:
Vincent Eneyeama: 275k
Out:
Mino: 1.1 Million
Pinto: 1.4 Million
Defenders:
*Carles Puyol
*Gerrard Pique
*Gabriel Milito
*Daniel Alves
*Adriano
*Abidal
*Maxwell
*Marc Bartra
*Marc Muniesa
*Andreu Fontas
*Gerrard Pique
*Gabriel Milito
*Daniel Alves
*Adriano
*Abidal
*Maxwell
*Marc Bartra
*Marc Muniesa
*Andreu Fontas
Our central defense is really strong. With captain fantastico Puyol and Pique in center and Milito as backup,i would consider it as the best defense in the Liga. Our fullbacks are attack minded but they are decent at back as well. I would recommend bringing Maxwell into first team from B team as he is excellent backup to Abidal(obvious first choice). Muniesa and Barta are good for future. Daniel Alves is world class RB and the obvious choice and Adriano is decent as backup. Sell Fontas for decent price. Would recommend one CB as backup. Ranocchia or Mexes would be perfect backups..
Go for Romario(RB) for 275k and Dodo(LB) for 1.3Mn as as future stars. You can go for Daniel Alves tutoring Romario and Maxwell tutoring Dodo.
In:
Romario(Vitoria)--> 275k
Dodo---> 1.3 Million
Ranocchia----> 15 Million or Mexes----> 7 Million
Out:
Andreu Fontas---> 3.5 Million
Midfielders:
*Xavi
*Messi
*Iniesta
*Pedro
*Mascherano
*Busquets
*Keita
*Jefferen
*Nolito
*Thiago
*Afellay
*Messi
*Iniesta
*Pedro
*Mascherano
*Busquets
*Keita
*Jefferen
*Nolito
*Thiago
*Afellay
I would consider it the strongest area in the Barcelona midfield. With the likes of Mascherano,Iniesta,Xavi,Messi,Pedro in midfield,i would consider it as the strongest midfield in the whole world by miles. Also there are Busquets & Afellay are decent backups and can be used in cup matches. Nolito,Keita and Jeffren should be disposed off. Go for Lucas of Sao Paulo as he as fee release clause of 4.2 million and turns out class!! Also Anthony Annan as backup for DM position(if any of Mascherano or Busquets injured). You can also promote Thiago from B squad..
In:
Lucas----> 4.2 Million
Anthony Annan---> 3 Million
Out:
Jeffren-----> 2.3 Million
Nolito-----> 1.3 Million
Keita---> 4 Million or loan
Strikers:
*David Villa
*Bojan Krkic
*Bojan Krkic
David Villa is the obvious star man here. He is just world class and i would play him as lone striker. Bojan has great potential and easily he is a quality backup for Villa. I would buy Sani Emmanuel as he is available for about 18k(tribunal) and turns out quality. Also Vaclav Kadlec for 1.4 Million or Lukaku for 6.5 mn(since you have Bojan as future poacher there already,you may require a targetman with huge potential if you play 2 forwards).
In:
Sani Emmanuel---> 18k
Vaclav Kadlec(1.5 Mn) or Lukaku(6.5 Mn)
Out:
none
Summary(cheapest possible selected from OR options):
In:
Sani Emmanuel: 18k
Vaclav Kadlec: 1.5 mn
Lucas: 4.2 Mn
Annan: 3 Mn
Mexes: 7 Mn
Romario: 275k
Dodo: 1.3 Mn
Eneyeama: 275k
Total: 17.6 Million euros
Out:
Jefferen: 2.3 Mn
Nolito: 1.3 Mn
Keita: 4 Mn
Fontas: 3.5 mn
Mino: 1.1 Mn
Pinto: 1.3 Mn
Total: 13.5 Million euros
STAFF:
For a successful team,staff should be also QUALITY and staff at Barcelona(surprisingly) is ****. So,in this section i will post possible staff signings!!
*** Man:
Tito Vilanova-> He is a decent assistant and i would suggest to stick with him.
Scouts:
There are so many scouts in the form of Amor,Benaiges,Boada,bojan krkic,Lainz,costa,planchart,costas,Roura,Torrent,Valentin,Vaya.
I would recommend keeping Boada,Lainz,Valentin & Vaya and give mutual termination to all others and hire Tord Grip and Simon Hunt & Favini
First team coaches:
There are no first team coaches or simple coaches in the team so there is need to buy.I would recommend McGuinness,Farrell,Sciuto,Delgado meco,Eastick,Rota as COACH role..
Youth coaches:
I would recommend sacking all the youth coaches since they are all ****. You can go for Eastick and Rota(discussed above) for youth coach role and also there are more options like
Bernhard Peters, Quique Estebaranz.
GK coach:
Carles Busquets-> He is a decent GK coach but you should go for better GK coaches than him. I would suggest Joop Hiele,Pedro Alba,Malizia etc..
Fitness coach:
I would recommend sacking cos and getting Andy Renshaw.
Physios:
Keep Ricart and sack all others and go for Marco Frigerio, Salvatore Libra,Phillipe Saffroy
Summary of staffs:
In:
Tord Grip,Simon Hunt,Favini - SCOUT
McGuinness,Farrell,Sciuto,Delgado meco - COACH
Eastick,Rota,Bernhard Peters, Quique Estebaranz - YOUTH COACHMcGuinness,Farrell,Sciuto,Delgado meco - COACH
Pedro Alba,Malizia - GK COACH
Andy Renshaw - FITNESS COACH
Marco Frigerio, Salvatore Libra,Phillipe Saffroy - PHYSIOS
Out:
Amor,Benaiges,bojan krkic,costa,planchart,costas,Roura,Torrent - SCOUT
Sergi,Oscar,Guitrat, Pimienta,Artiga(all the youth coaches)- YOUTH COACH
Carles Busquets- GK COACH
Cos- FITNESS COACH
Brau,Medina,Munill,Pruna - Physios
Extras:
In board room, two things i usally get accepted is Feeder club(for increasing club's profile in other country) and increase percentage of transfer revenue. other things never get accepted!!
Tactics(formation):
I would recommend 4-3-3 tactic and my line-up would be:
GK: Valdes: goalkeeper(defend)
RWB: Alves: wing back(support)
LWB: Abidal: wing back(defend)
CB: Puyol: Limited defender(stopper)
CB: Pique: Centeral defender(defend)
DM: Mascherano: defensive midfielder(defense)
CM: Xavi: Advanced playmaker(attack)
AM :Iniesta: Attacking mid(attack)
RW : Messi: Winger(attack)
LW: Pedro: Winger(support)
Striker: Villa: Traquertista(attack)
Set pieces:
Set pieces are vital for victory. Sometimes,a freekick,penalty or corner can be the difference in a game. Here are my suggestions for the set pieces.Corner takers:
Left: 1> Xavi 2>Iniesta 3> Adriano
Right: 1> Adriano(keep him as first choice whether not in squad) 2> Pedro 3>Abidal
Set corners instructions in team instructions to FAR POST and in player instructions of your best header(Pique),set it attack far post. He will score loads especially when Xavi strike from left corner...
Freekicks:
1> Xavi 2> Villa
PS: i don't know much about freekicks so its your choice how u play.
throw ins:
Right: Alves
Left: Abidal
Penalties:
1> Villa 2> Messi 3> Xavi
It took me so much effort to make this guide. Please positive comments and suggestions!!!
