here is last seasons thread..
http://www.goallegacy.net/t38134-msn-predictions-2015-16-season#1474539  

Let's hear everyones predictions on each players goal totals for all official Barcelona games this season; this campaigns competitions are Super Copa de España, La Liga, Copa Del Rey, and Champions League. Keep in mind last season we had 2 extra comps that we won't have this year - UEFA Super Cup and UEFA Club World Cup.



Last 4 seasons goal numbers for each player

Messi : 41, 58, 41, 60
Suarez : 59, 25, 31, 30
Neymar : 30, 39, 15, 13

I am interested in hearing everyone's predictions

My guess

Messi 38 goals
Suarez 54 goals
Neymar 33 goals

LIVE UPDATED STATS From all major comps

Super Copa De España
Messi : 1
Suarez : 1
Neymar : 0

La Liga Santander
Messi : 37
Suarez : 28
Neymar : 13

UEFA Champions League
Messi : 11
Suarez : 3
Neymar : 4

Copa Del Rey
Messi : 5
Suarez : 4
Neymar : 3

Total
Messi : 54
Suarez : 36
Neymar : 20

Messi 39
Suarez 52
Neymar 40

Messi 43
Suarez 38
Neymar 33

Messi will decide it in dressing room

I think Messi's goal tally will gradually keep getting lower and lower but his assists/chances created will continue to go up

Hard to tell with Neymar. Seems to be a 20-25 goal tally guy, give or take

Suarez 55
Neymar 45
Messi 40

Messi is the first to pass 10

Total
Messi : 12
Suarez : 9
Neymar : 6

Messi first to 20.

Total
Messi : 20
Suarez : 12
Neymar : 6

What a slump from Suarez and Neymar...

Especially Suarez is having very bad season.

It looks as if Neymar is trying his best... not to score

International duty has affected Suarez this season, more than I predicted year ago with calculated logic. Bad thing is that we already saw Suarez peak with us. He may still regain some of his former form with us, and luckily there's only 2 WCQ games in the second half of the season. The two are heavily related with him. I don't see Neymar that affected with international burden, and he's played much better than Suarez this season.

One good thing in Suarez slumb is that Alex fellow has dissappeared from the Barcelona section.

Neymar and Messi have being the best this season obviously. Messi is Messi and Neymar already has 13 assists in 16 games this season which is some insane shit at this point.
Its also all the more impressive because Neymar and Messi are the most marked players on the planet and the fact that they aren't the main goal scorers in the team.

The only thing is that I'm wondering why neymar has had such a difficult time in front of goal in 2016 and at thesame time be in such an inhumane form with brazil, with the olympics being the iceing on the cake.

I'm hoping this goes with 2016 tbh. Even if a huge part of me feels its time for him to leave as he isn't getting any younger ffs..

As for suarez, meh, there's nothing special I was expecting tbf and its not like he's some player who's expected to wow us with some jaaw dropping football or anything. He's drop in form is only obvious now because he isn't scoring thesame insane amount of goals like last season, otherwise suarez's game is all about being absent almost the whole game and nicking 2 goals out of the blue ala inzaghi albeit with running tirelessly. Meh, this has always been suarez.

Neymar stays and retires at barça.

And no, Suarez isn't Inzaghi, come on. He is an extremely complete striker. When did Inzaghi give 20 assists in a season?

Suarez hits 20 in all comps

Total
Messi : 29
Suarez : 20
Neymar : 9

Messi reaches 30 goals in all comps.

Btw, at this point how many goals do you think Neymar will net? So far he has 9 in all comps, and his last few were PK's which I am assuming going forward Messi will probably not give those away to him. I'm gonna go ahead and predict he ends up within the 15 goal range.

In as much as I hate to say this.. Neymar at this point has outlived his time at Barca. I've being frustrated with his finishing. he does every damn hard thing right but just somehow screws up the easy part (finishing) and what's more absurd is that you never see this in Brazil or when he was at santos. Yeah, football isn't all about scoring, and he's probably one of the most offensive players with the biggest defensive shifts in the world but he would always be judged with his goals no matter how many goals he creates, how many dribbles he makes, how many penalties he wins, how many tackles/interceptions he makes tbh and a player of his caliber needs to start scoring as soon as possible. So, IMO, a fresh environment would do him a world of good as he just isn't going to bring out his best at Barcelona to be frank, not Barca's fault but that's what it is. infact, IMO, Neymar has never really shown his best at Barcelona (ironically). Just take a look at him for Brazil, a big contrast from the Neymar in Barcelona. his best have actually come from Santos, Brazil and (those 2 months Messi was away).
Another example of this is Alexis Sanchez, David villa, Henry, IBRA to name a few. When they leave the club, (or when they're not in the club) they magically turn into very very different players and I think this isn't a coincidence.
Even Suarez is basically not what he used to be in Liverpool except he'll always score a goal or two out of the blue because he's a born poacher (unlike Neymar, IBRA, and Henry). This is my candid opinion.

Sorry for my long post.

Overreaction. He has all the talent in the world to become main man once Messi goes last 33. He has many years left at Barça.

Yea I agree with BC, Neymar will be fine. He's still super young, and scoring isn't the end all to a forwards game. Especially when we also have killers like Messi/Suarez up front. Neymar does so much more than just being that forward that can haul ass and score like so many other wingers out there. And he's hit 30 goals before, so there is no reason to think he can't do it again (in all honesty, hitting that many goals isn't a normal thing to do for a winger). I wasn't asking how many goals everyone thought he would hit as a way of dissing his low goal tally, but more so as a sincere question. And a guy with Neymars talent, he will get his goal tally up, even if not this year he will the next and so on. Kinda like Hazard last season, everyone dismissed him as done, and now he's playing good again. Football fans have the shortest amount of patients I have ever witnessed. It's NORMAL for players to have to adapt, to go through bad spells etc. The skill is there (just how a few months back people thought Suarez was done, and now he's back to scoring goals every single game and wreking Atletico)

Total
Messi : 49
Suarez : 31
Neymar : 15

Messi could hit 60 this season

Final numbers for the league

La Liga Santander
Messi : 37
Suarez : 28
Neymar : 13


Messi wins the Pichichi + I might be mistaken, but I believe he also won the European Golden Boot.

Overestimated Neymar big time, but it seems like Suarez & Messi switched places

That prediction

I knew Messi would be back this season Neymar despite not scoring that much hes performed back his level I think. The goals will come.

A bit off topic, but worried about Ronaldo stealing yet another Baloon D'or though, especially if Real go on to win the CL. Cant believe it, that would make him 3 wins in a row and tied with Messi 5 each, thats just criminal.

Final tally

Total
Messi : 54
Suarez : 36
Neymar : 20
