I wanted to do a fun game to take me over to when Football Manager 2016 comes out but I will also be setting myself some goals of bringing through the youth of Barcelona on a regular basis as the future can make an instant impact in my opinion. I will also be looking for goals throughout the whole team and to ensure that so I will be setting my goalkeepers as my penalty takers, it may be a risky move but it will be interesting to see how they do.

Squad
Key Players
Lionel Messi
One of the if not the best player in the world and there is no way this player will ever leave this club and will cement his legacy which will be hard to ever be beaten
Neymar
Will be a major player for us for many many years and can become a legend at this club and in my eyes will become Brazil's best ever player
Luis Suarez
He completes the main forward line for this season alongside Neymar and Messi and can do great things here.
A great way to start the season with a nice easy win over the newly promoted side and I was delighted with the performances from a number of the youngsters who featured today
My star player of the match was Adama Traore, A great game for him today which included a goal and an assist, will be used a lot this season, may not always be a first team starter but he will be involved throughout the season.
Game 2
Almost lost today but delighted we came back from 2 goals behind and Neymar scoring with the last kick of the game.
My star player of the match was Javier Mascherano, He had a great game at center back today despite the two goals but also popped up with his first ever goal for Barcelona today!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Player Stats
Top Goalscorer
Andres Iniesta + Javier Mascherano + Lionel Messi + Neymar + Adama Traore - 1
Jesus Vallejo - I feel he could become a great central defender in many years to come and could have a big future at this club if he develops right.
Ezequiel - He was brought in as mainly for back up this season but if not used then may look to sell as early as January
Juanmi - I feel he could have a bright future at this club but felt this season would be best for him to stay with Malaga for the season to continue his development.
Brandon Barker - The biggest risk out of the lot but I feel the young Englishmen has a lot of talent and could develop into a great player here for us
Hatem Ben Arfa - Can still be a very useful addition to any squad so was a no-brainer to bring him in
OUT
All 4 of theses players left only on loan as they are future parts of my plans but for this season, they are better off developing themselves somewhere new for a season
A brilliant way to start the month off with a fantastic win over Atheltic Bilbao, I was very pleased with the amount of attacks we produced today, We were 4-1 up before they went down to 10 men and I was delighted to see young fellow Englishman Brandon Barker get his first ever goal for us.

Group Stage Matchday One
What a game to open the Group Stages with for us and I was delighted we came away with the win against a great Manchester City side but the two familiar faces of Messi and Neymar scoring the goals, I was also delighted to give Vallejio his first appearance in a Barcelona shirt today and he had a good performance with winning some heading challenges.
My star player of the match was Marc Bartra, The young Spanish defender and a brilliant performance today which he started off at Center Back but then went out to the right when I brought Montoya off and he came up with an amazing assist for Neymar's winner so a Right Back spot may be something to look at with Bartra, especially with Vermaelen to come back for the second half of the season, Bartra could become a very important player this season.
Game 4
Not the best of games by us today but we still picked up the win and the 3 points, Barker got sent off for a stupid foul which at his age he is bound to do but he will come back better from that, I gave a debut today to Masip and he had a good game, It was also good to see Ben Arfa get his first goal for us.
