I know its still early, we still don't know the coach or if we're going to buy a new Center back.
But, this make the predictions more interesting

1- Trophies, positions etc..
Liga: ?
UCL: ?
Copa: ?
Spanish Super: ?

2- Top Scorers:
Messi: ?
Neymar: ?
Alexis: ?
Pedro: ?
Tello: ?
Cesc: ?
Others..


Total Goals (all comps):

3- Top Assisters: ?
Messi: ?
Iniesta: ?
Cesc: ?
Xavi: ?
Neymar: ?
Alexis: ?
Alves: ?
Others?

I'll Start:

We'll win Liga, UCL, Super and get eliminated from Cup Quarter-Finals.

We'll score about 170 goals:
- Messi 65+
- Neymar 25+
- Pedro 15+
- Alexis, Tello and Cesc about 10 each.

Assists:
- Messi 25+
- Cesc 20+
- Iniesta 15+
- Neymar, Alexis, Xavi and Alves about 10 each

Win the Super Copa, Lose the Copa de Rey, Win the league, lose on semi finals to Bayern Munich.
- Messi 65+
- Neymar 20-25
- Cesc 15-20 (due to more game time now)
- Pedro & Sanchez 10-15

Assists:
- Messi 25+
- Iniesta 20+
- Cesc & Neymar 15+
- Alexis, Xavi and Alves about 10 each

Cesc already played more games and minutes than Xavi, Iniesta or Thiago...I dont think he will increase on his 11 and 11 season (if those stats are right, I dont really know) unless he actually improves the consistency of his performances. Though I would glady prefer less stats and actual performances.

I also dont think Xavi will get 10 assists, nor Pedro getting 15 goals.

Cesc with Barcelona (all official comps):
- 2011/12: 15 goals, 18 assists in 48 games (38 Starts).
- 2012/13: 14 goals, 12 assists in 48 games (41 Starts).

Minutes played last season (all official comps):
- Cesc 3240 mins (48 games, 41 Starts).
- Xavi 3661 mins (48 games, 41 Starts).
- Iniesta 3512 mins (48 games, 40 Starts).
- Thiago 1909 mins (36 games, 20 Starts).

Here's last season stats to have a better Idea:

- 158 official Goals:

Messi 60
David Villa 16
Fabregas 14
Alexis 11
Pedro 10
Tello 8
Xavi 7
Iniesta 6
Adriano 6
Jordi Alba 5
Pique 3
Thiago 3
Puyol 2
Busquets 1
Dani Alves 1
Song 1
Montoya 1

- Assists:

Iniesta 21
Messi 15
Fabregas 12
Alexis 12
Xavi 12
Dani Alves 10
Thiago 9
David Villa 8
Pedro 7
Tello 6
Jordi Alba 5
Adriano 2
Montoya 2
Busquets 1
Song 1
Mascherano 1
Sergi Roberto 1

I wasnt thinking all comps, rather just La Liga. Dont know what those are either, but according to this Cesc played more minutes in La Liga than those guys.

I see. Well a 14 and 12 season. I dont expect much more.

Thiago hardly ever (maybe never) played when Cesc could have, so I expect that Cesc wont play all that more.

True, Cesc (32) played more Liga games last season than Iniesta (31) & Xavi (30).
Cesc scored 11 goals and provided 11 assists in these 32 Liga games (30 starts).

Third year is the charm lets just hope he stays more consistent now that Thiago can't upset him anymore..

Martino's more direct style definitely suits Cesc. Expecting him to have his best season yet for us.

Not trying to spoil the mood or enthusiaism But Ive learnt to be more realistic and stable With the new manager change and just general things happenings atm, I dont think he will first win the CL easily, I dont think we will. The league will always be the main fight with Real. The cup being a bonus if we can manage it. The Supercup is pretty random and depends alot of the preparations and if everyone is "there" for the games.

Having said that I think we will the league, the cup and Supercup.

For goals and assist no idea the numbers, but Messi to top score no doubt. I think Iniesta will be a vital season if he can chip in more assists and goals. Same goes to Neymar. Xavi's stats for assist was a shock, he used to own that, last season its dropped a bit already. Messi himself will guarantee assists as well. The main thing I want though is for everyone to help chip in more goals and assists.

No chance for UCL with this squad. We'll win probably Supercopa, that's it. We lack depth to compete for La Liga, I don't think RM will suck just like last season. To contend for UCL we need new GK, two CBs and one good forward. With crap like Pedro and Alexis as our 3rd forward we won't win UCL. It looks like another wasted season of Messi abilities.

P.S I see that khaled is back. Were you happy when Bayern humiliated us with your beloved scrub Bartra in defence. I wrote before season started that we won't win UCL if we 'trust' Bartra and other youngsters and I was right. Whose your new hyped average youngster from La Masia?

Juas, now Bartra was the player that costed the knockout vs. Bayern? What are you smoking bro?

I don't like making predictions.

Read a crazy rumour on Twitter just now. Dani Alves' number i.e. 2 will be given to Martin Montoya and the former will take on the number 22 instead. I doubt Alves would have wanted such a change and unless he did, isn't this a major insult?

kizz (yes our kizz) just clarified this on Twitter. Alves has asked for number 22 because he wants to wear Eric Abidal's former number!!!

When was Bartra trusted? We had no other option.

And how did he cost us anything, he did alright actually.

Please go away with your nonesense.

Considering how little Tello played, it's pretty amazing he pretty much almost matched both Alexis and Pedro who played allot more than him. Guy is a one trick pony, but if its a good trick then why not use it.

My official predictions

La Liga: 2nd behind Real
Copa del Rey: Champions
Super Copa de España: Champions
Champions League: Quarter Final exit

I think Tello has certainly improved from one trick pony which I thought hw was for a long time, hope he will continue that.

Alves is a god! And I hope he keeps his level, it appears he dropped a bit, but im sure hes always hungry and motivated, and if we solve the CV problem, and Alves can be himself again just full on, with Neymar on the left, we would be awesome again

I'm betting pedro to have a good season

I actually was surprised with his performance in the confed cup

Positively?

La Liga: Champions
Copa Del Rey: Champions
Champions League: Runners Up

Six days before ending of transfer window. What are your predictions for this season? I didn't change my picks, we'll only win Supercopa in this season.
