I am in my 3rd season with Barcelona, they gave me £120mill transfer budget (stupid I know) and I have just brought in Daniel Alves, Gareth Bale, Piatto, Zapata

So now my team is as follows....:

Ustari/Valdes

Puyol/Zambrotta Zapata Milto Bale

Ronaldo Martinez Pirlo Ronaldiniho/Dos Santos

Messi/Inietsa

Augero/Eto/Henry


So it would be fair to say I have arguably one of the best starting 11's in the world.

Well even with all this talent i lost 5-1 to Murcia in my opening game, then 3-0 to Levante!!! haha...so for all you Barca haters there is a god!

NozEE

To be honest, I find it scary rather than amusing that you could lose with that squad

I'm putting it down to all the new signings not geling yet...i hope :eek:

You playing Zambrotta/Puyol at RB instead of Daniel Alves? Must be something wrong there. As good as they are, Alves is much better. And Puyol is rubbish going forward anyway.

Anyway, the reason they lost is because if you make many new signings all at once, it takes them time to gel. You conceded so many goals because almost your whole defence is new. Alves, Bale and Zapata would need a little time. Never a good idea to throw in so many new players into the first team right away. Get them on as a sub for a couple games and then put them in. The balance of the team gets disturbed.

And its not unrealistic. The way Barca has been playing this season, a thrashing is around the corner for them. Some of their players have been cocky enough to say they want Liverpool in the CL to gain revenge. Well I hope they get their wish because the way the two teams are playing, Liverpool could very well give them a thrashing especially at Anfield. And I hope they do. Would serve them right for being arrogant.

you've got a great team but you could make it even better

pirlo is getting old replace him by banega, makoun, toulalon

and before i say something else what tactic are you using

OCDPOKER
