Will Barcelona Win, Here Three Things May Influence

Barcelona go into the game against Villarreal on Sunday on the back of another epic win over Diego Simeone’s Atletico Madrid.

If anyone continued to doubt the credentials of the Blaugrana, then the performance at the Vicente Calderon should finally have convinced the doom-mongers that Luis Enrique and co mean business.

The Yellow Submarine will present just as difficult an opponent and on the back of a 16-game unbeaten run themselves, will ensure Barca face another rigorous examination.

Let’s take a look at three things that will shape the outcome to this game…

HEAD-TO-HEAD

It might surprise many to note that despite Villarreal’s continued excellence in the top flight, the last time that the visitors walked away with three points from this fixture, home or away, was back in 2008. It’s not for the want of trying certainly. Marcelino’s side can boast some magnificent exponents throughout the team and in brothers Giovani and Jonathan Dos Santos, Villarreal have two ex-Blaugrana going back to where it all began for them.

With a potential Copa del Rey semi final immediately following this game, the visitors will be keen to make a statement of intent.

MESSI, NEYMAR, SUAREZ

Is there a better trio in world football at present? Even Madrid’s own attacking triumvirate can’t hold a candle to Barca’s front three at the moment. Neymar once again showed the progress he has made in 12 months producing a man-of-the-match performance against a tough Atletico Madrid side. Luis Suarez might not be amongst the goals, but there is no doubting his commitment to the cause and the Uruguayan has been working his socks off for the good of the team. Lionel Messi continues to astound. 8 goals and 5 assists already in 2015 is way better than any other player in the top 5 European leagues.

On current form, they will take some stopping.

DENIS CHERYSHEV ON FIRE

Real Madrid could have a say in the title race without kicking a ball in anger. Denis Cheryshev is on loan at El Madrigal from Real’s Castilla side and so good has his form been that Carlo Ancelotti has already indicated that he will recall him at the end of his season-long loan.The young Russian’s form has been nothing short of sensational and if Dani Alves isn’t on his guard then Cheryshev will get in behind at every opportunity.

Power, pace and an eye for goal mark the player out as the one to watch. Will he give his parent club a helping hand?

Unlock FIFA 15 Celebrations with Tips

There are a grand total of 40 celebrations in FIFA 15 which is quite low when you think about all the different routines that have been utilised in the modern era of the game.

FIFA 15

EA Sports has kept the numbers so low on purpose, or so it seems. They want to get you spending you hard earned FIFA coins on stuff that arguably should be in the game already.

Over in England, Samuel Eto’o’s infamous old man celebration was shown in the game’s adverts, goading both fans of Chelsea and Everton, and maybe those of Barcelona and Inter Milan too, into buying a copy of the game just to see it.

To their shock and horror, no doubt, the old man is nowhere to be seen in the untouched version of the game. This celebration is one of 18 preliminary unlockable pieces of choreography in the game.

The celebrations are really easy to unlock, maybe too easy that just putting them in the game to start with might have been the best option. All you need to do is play FIFA15 in any mode, whether that be exhibition, career or Ultimate Team and accumulate coins. Simple as that.

Then, as you work your way up through the levels, more and more of these special serenades will become available, you just need to spend some FIFA 15 Coins PS3 coinage in the EAS FC Catalogue to make them usable.
