I just started the game with Barcelona. Appreciate if you could help me on this.
I need to get a good CB, LB/LW and a Striker.
Also, any suggestions who should I Sell and Buy???

Thanks.
:)
 
CB Hummels/ Sakho or if you want someone a little older Chiellini (He also can play at LB i think)

LB/LW - Bale can play both

Striker - Niang/Leandro/Damiao all young strikers...you want someone a little older Aguero's Minimum Release fee is quite low for a player of his quality £39m (same as when he was at atl madrid i think)

Barcelona is pretty complete so only thing to do is sign wonderkids really plus you might wanna look for new blood for the irreplaceable messi because at some point he will ask for ridiculous wages which you won't be able to meet
 
thiago silva, neymar. jose angel gets good for LB but you'd have to wait a couple of seasons.
 
Yes defo sign Thiago Silva & Kyriakos Papadopoulos is a great prospect. for LB well, Jose Enrique aint bad but probably doesnt want to join, Evra is a good choice always. Chiellini and Lahm are another options for LB. Get Neymar also.
 
LB/LW - Jordi Alba
DC - Otamendi
ST - Iker Muniain
 
criscito, thiago silva, neymar, then wait a season and get aguero for £39m, (his release clause).
 
Bale is the best attacking LB in the world and he can play as AML/ML as well.
Thiago Silva is the best option for you CB. Maybe you could try to sign Jones or Sakho? Mussacchio (spelling?) is good too. Varane is a great prospect but he plays for Real so...
What line up do you have? I always play 4-2-3-1, but Barca's playing mostly 4-1-2-2-1.
Without improvements:
4-2-3-1
-----------Valdes----------
Alves--Pique--Puyol--Abidal
------Xavi----Busquets----
Sanchez---Messi---Iniesta-
-----------Villa------------

4-1-2-2-1
----------Valdes----------
Alves--Pique--Puyol--Abidal
---------Busquets--------
-----Xavi-----Iniesta-----
Sanchez-------------Messi
-----------Villa-----------

In this line-up I'd recommend a new DMC as Busquets isn't really good in physical games, such as CL games against English teams. Sandro is really good! He's almost as good as Busquets at the start of the game and he has more potential. He's very physical and he'll be great for you! You might need a new Xavi so Ganso would be a good purchase. He could become even better than Xavi if you use a good training schedule! I always buy him!
Maybe you should bur Romario as a follow-up for Alves. Just buy him, he's very cheap!
Ter Stegen is a good second-choice GK with a lot of potential.

With Improvements:
4-1-2-2-1
----------Valdes----------
Alves--Pique--T.Silva--Bale
----------Sandro----------
-----Xavi-----Iniesta------
Sanchez-------------Messi
-----------Villa------------

4-2-3-1
-----------Valdes----------
Alves--Pique--T.Silva--Bale
------Xavi-----Sandro-----
Sanchez---Messi---Iniesta-
-----------Villa------------


Ter Stegen, Romario and Ganso aren't ready for first-team football (Ganso is, but Xavi is better), so you should use them as subs.

I would first slowly replace the older players, such as Puyol with younger, but still very solid, younger players. Thiago Silva, Chiellini, Hummels would all be great first team picks, whereas Papadoupolous (sp.) and Munisia (In Barca reserve. Will turn into fantastic ball playing defender) will make a great defensive partnership in the future.
Left back is probably Barca's weakest area, and so it would be a good idea to replace Maxwell. Lahm, Crisito (sp.) and Jordi Alba are great left backs, but it would probably be a better idea to wait a couple of years until a wonderkid left back appears. You could retain Chiellini to become natural at left back - he'd be great there! You may want to sign a wonderkid right back, such as Romario, to eventually replace Dani Alves.
Then goalkeepers. Pinto is hardly worthy or being the back up keeper, so I would sign ter-Stegan. He's a quality wonderkid, who starts of pretty solid! He'll only keep improving, but will cost 20mil. No doubt, he will be worth it in a couple of years time - once he's kicked out Valdes from the starting XI!
So, the back four could shape up like this: Valdes/ter-Stegan (GK), Chiellini (LB), Thiago Silva(CB - Stopper), Pique(CB - Ball Playing Defender), Dani Alves(RB.)
The rest of the team is pretty youthful, but you still may want to be on the look out for the latest talents so your rivals don't snap them up! Mascherano will soon need replacing, so you'll need to find a suitable replacement. M'Vila would excel at that role, and he's pretty solid - even to begin with! He's also a very reliable player. Xavi - well you have Fabregas and Thiago Alcantara, as well as Rafinha if he develops well. You could also sign Felipe Anderson, Jack Rodwell, or Kyle Barkley - although the latter two are different players, they'd no doubt provide excellent cover. You could also sign Gotze, or/and Hazard to provide good competition for Iniesta or whoever your wingers are. Finally, David Villa is the only oldish player left. There are loads of great players to replace, and probably even surpass, him. Aguero, Cavani are first team replacements, while you may also want to consider Iker Muniain (He's Spanish too), and Mbaye Niang.

Barca are a great team, so really, all you need to do is shape up the defense, and replace some of the older players. Other than that, just be on the lookout for the next Lionel Messi's, so you can continue domination world football.
 
Thanks for your feedback guys. Appreciated for all your comments.

How much would Bale and Neymar cost in the game?
Also, I thought of buying Tevez!!!
 
I have now sold Kerrison, Henrique, A. Hleb and S. Keita. Bought in J. Alba, Romario (RW), Vaclav Kadlec, Carlos Tevez and K. Papadopolous.
 
My formations at the moment are:

---------------Valdez----------------
---------Pique---------Puyol---------
D. Alves----------------------J. Alba
----------Xavi-------Iniesta---------
Messi---------------------A. Sanchez
----------Tevez-----Villa------------

Subs: Pinto, Papadopolous, Abidal, Romario, Cesc, Busquests, Mascherano, Vaclav Kadlec

Messi, Tevez, Villa, Sanchez given freedom to interchange their positions. Also, these front four also has the ability to defend deep as well.

Any suggestions on this guys???
 
I would improve
Gk: lloris, delac, neuer
Dc: hummels, samba
Dl: lahm, baines
Ml: bale
Stc: lukaku, aguero

Since, I have a strong line up, I believe there is no necessity in buying a goalkeeper or investing on a GK on my first season. Bale is too expensive and that is why I went for J. Alba.
 
With my advice i meant it over years to come so you could afford it.
