Whatsup this is a team guide for FC Barcelona.

Expectations:
It’s simple, you need to win everything that the Chairman wants you to win. In La Liga you need to come first, with the great squad you have it shouldn't be too hard, but with the likes of Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid, with a slow start you could be in trouble and get the sack. Champions League you are expected to get to the final be you should easily be contenders. The other two cups the board don't care about so focus your attention on the two main competitions and give youngsters a chance in the cups.

The Team

Goalkeeper:
With the nice and experienced Claudio Bravo, you also have the option of going with the young and more potentially gifted Ter-Stegen. I would say Bravo is better for the crucial matches, but give Ter-Stegen the game time in cups and matches you are expected to win.
GK: Claudio Bravo

Defenders:
Also in great shape with some youth, you have Jordi Alba, Pique, Mascherano and the departing Dani Alves. Luckily, has not left yet on FM so you can still use him. For backups you need to strengthen with Adriano and Douglas the full back options. Both are old and not great. The centre backs are fine though with Vermalen, Bartra and Mathieu as great backups for the reliable two.
RCB: Pique
LCB: Mascherano

Midfielders:
Iniesta. Sums it up. This guy is a magician in the middle and is best played as an advanced playmaker who will play the key passes and hold on to the ball. Its best with a defensive midfielder Busquets who’s the most solid player in the team. As well as Rakitic, it’s a great team with Rafinha and Sergi Roberto on the bench. Recommend one more midfilder.

Attack:
MSN!!! Messi, Suarez and Neymar is the best attack in world football who should be feared. You have youngsters Munir and Sandro to back up but might want stronger backups until Turan and Vidal return.
LW: Neymar
ST: Suarez
RW: Messi (Plz come back to Argentina but understand why you had to retire.)

Who to Build the Team Around:
MESSI:
The best. All that needs to be said.
INIESTA:
The second best (in my opinion). All that needs to be said.
SUAREZ:
Picked him over Neymar because of his insane form and amazing player stats on FM. Neymar is for the future but this guy is a tank. Guarantees goals.

Who to Buy:
JONNY:
Great cover in both right back and left back areas, he is also young. Nice player to bring in and will help out a lot.
DENIS SUAREZ:
Should have a buy back clause, awesome player to have. Can play in the centre and also on the wing.
RUBEN NEVES:
Best potential CDM who can also play in CM. Very similar to Busquets because he is such a solid rock. Grows into a fantastic player. One to watch and to play in Cup games.

Who to Sell:
VERMALEN:
Old, doesn’t start, crap player. Can get some money for him which will be useful so definitely sell him.
ADRIANO:
He’s old and useless as well so you should bring in Jonny to replace him. Pace matters slightly so a player like Adriano is a liability.

That sums up FC Barcelona. I’m going to do another one soon, most likely on FC Bayern Munich. If you liked this please check out the video, link at the top, or search up One Man Wall. I’m not just doing this to get views on my channel, I’ve been a big fan of FM Scout and if you don’t want to read all this, or want another perspective, look at the video.

'BREAKING NEWS'
Pep is set to leave for Mancheter City. The Bundesliga Champions are now left without a manager.

Not anymore, because on FM16 YOU can take charge of this awesome team. They are in an awesome position with straight Bundesliga Championships, Champions League victories, this team is yours for the taking.

Season Expectations:

Bundesliga:
Win it. Bayern have always been in the running for the title so it shouldn't be too hard to keep the momentum going. With only the real challenge of Borussia Dortmund, you have thre option to smash teams,

Champions League:
The board will want you too win it or at least make the Semi Finals. You have a serious chance, but the big teams of Barca, Madrid, PSG and Juventus will provide a major challenges. The other cups you don't need to worry about as the board doesn't care.

The Squad:

Goalkeepers:
Cool, calm, collective. The best three adjectives to describe your number 1 choice of Manuel Neuer. Who gives a shit about Starke or Ulafhd or something, This guy is the best in the world.
GK: Manuel Neuer

Defenders:
You actually have some options here. Obviously the captain Phillip Lahm who can play CDM or you can play him RB. Another's world best David Alaba is going to be your number one LB. Backups are very nice as well with Bernat and Rafinha. In the centre Jerome Boateng Is going to start but the other position is up to debate. Mats Hummels hasn't arrived yet so you can choose between Benatia and Javi Martinez.
RB: Phillip Lahm
RCB: Jerome Boateng
LCB: Medhi Benatia
LB: David Alaba

Midfielders:
A position fill of tanks, but left with some gaps after the selling of Toni Kroos and Schweinstiger. New signings Vidal and Alonso will start with the backups of Thiago. In the attacking midfield, Goetze and Muller are great choices but personally, Muller is one of the best in the team.
RDM: Xabi Alonso
LDM: Arturo Vidal
CAM: Muller

Attack:
Lewandowski will lead the line and Ribery and Robben on the wings. Coman on loan provides an interesting back up and Muller can play on the right. Brutal attack the will tear apart defences. Remember Cost can also tear it up, play him often.
RM: Arjen Robben
LM: Frank Ribery
ST: Robert Lewandowski

Who to buy:

Mats Hummels:
He's coming into the club but now is the time to buy him. He might cost a bit, bu he's definetley worth it. This transfer also weakens your biggest rivals.

Julian Draxler:
He can play in the centre, he can play up front. He's been so impressive for Germany at the Euros and his ability is equally matched in the game. His passing and dribbling are unmatched and he's so young!!

Renato Sanchez:
Another transfer for real life, this guy is a rock for Portugal and is an absolute wonderkid. A great backup and future first team player to replace the aging Xabi Alonso.

Who to sell:

Frank Ribery (Soon):
He used to be top quality, but his got on a bit. Use him for one last season and then sell him for big money while you can.

Sven Urilich:
I have no idea if I have spelt this right and I don't care. He's crap in the game and old as fuck. Just realeadse him. NOW!!!!

Cheers for the update, I would really appreciate if you check out the video at the top.
