    Seung Woo Lee

    Afaik, there are two squads each from Juvenil to Infantil. The respective B-teams usually are a bit younger, so they play against older opposition in a lower youth league Juvenil A: 17 - 18 years old (born 94-95) Juvenil B: 16 - 17 years old (born 95-96) Cadete A: 15 - 16 years old (born 97)...

    FC Barcelona B (Barça Atlètic)

    Who does decide about the transfers for the B team? Lately, the scouting has not been very succesful, was it? Gomez never was rated as highly as Bartra or Muniesa. Recently, he performed even worse than Planas at CB. Surprisingly enough, Ie still rides the bench. With every trainer, for...

    FC Barcelona B (Barça Atlètic)

    IN: Luis Alberto (permanently) Marcos Senna (wishful thinking) or any other DM with top-flight experience Sergi Samper OUT: Edgar Ie -> only played 10 min so far, might be better off somewhere else Gus Ledes / Agostinho Ca -> one similar player too many for one spot Jordi Quintilla -> same...

    FC Barcelona B (Barça Atlètic)

    As we enter the two weeks without football, how about getting our Eusebio on? Who would you buy/promote/sell this winter? Let's get cray

    No need to get heated over something like that. Eusebio is certainly not the best coach for Barca B but it could be even worse.

    FC Barcelona B (Barça Atlètic)

    A very un-Barca-like first half. Fast counter-attacks using Deulofeu's and Alberto's pace are the main threat. Little midfield control and dangerous corners. Araujo might be a decent finisher, but other than that he adds little to the game.

    Barca draws Milan

    If the whole knockout stage was decided now, a team might have an advantage due to the country-, TV- or group-based seedings for second round. By having another draw afterwards, the map is wiped clean edit: Plus, obviously the revenues from another televised draw

    Francesc "Tito" Vilanova

    From what I read, he is supposed to recieve chemo treatment. Don't expect to see him on the sidelines anytime soon: the most important thing is for him to recover, anything above might need a wonder. Anims Tito!

    FC Barcelona B (Barça Atlètic)

    The issue is certainly not the results. Sitting 6th in Segunda is pretty good for a young reserve team. When Pep arrived as B coach, he established a system of "vertebrados" and "perlas". The first ones were players aged 23-26 with little chances to break into the first team squad. Their...

    FC Barcelona: Win of the youth system

    Yes and no. While the individual basic skills (speed, technique, positioning) are already there at the age of 18, there is yet a huge step to make. At this stage of development, players learn to utilize their skills to the maximum success and cover their deficits. This happens mainly through...

    FC Barcelona: Win of the youth system

    While tecnically not "youth" anymore, those years might be actually the most important in a player's development. The transition from youth to professional football is the biggest gap for a player to bridge in his enitre career.

    FC Barcelona B (Barça Atlètic)

    No surprises here. Even last season, with Montoya, Bartra and Muniesa in the back, Barca B conceded quite a lot. The worst thing right now is Planas being actually the best CB availiable. Lomban always looks half-hearted, Sergi Gomez is busy collecting red cards and Edgar Ie is somehow only...

    Rafinha Alcantara

    In terms of raw technical ability and fanciness, Rafa might be top3 at the whole squad. In every other aspect he has a long way to go, regardless of whom he plays with.

    FC Barcelona B (Barça Atlètic)

    It is true that Samper is one of the biggest cantera talents. It is also true that the b team had no true pivote since Oriol Romeu. However, Samper is not the answer to the problems of the b team. While his passing is certainly crisp, he is not (yet) suited for the lone holder role. Similar to...
