Still crying about Andres Iniesta leaving Barcelona? Aren't we all. But don't worry, he's still available on FIFA, as he's headed over to Japan for his twilight years.

Realistically, Iniesta is one of the only reasons to play as Vissel Kobe, but he lines up alongside Lukas Podolski, in a partnership that would have been lethal 10 years ago.

Hirofumi Watanabe is an unknown to watch out for, as the centreback has a rating of 70, and an impressive strength statistic of 84. Somehow he has utilised his average shooting statistic of 32 to net three goals in each of his last three campaigns in the J1 League.

The Brazilian duet of Nilton and Wellington is where the real goals lie, and the Japanese League will be exciting to be a part of. Face legends like Fernando Torres in an exciting league that we just don't really know that much about over here.

Plus, it won't be as much of a challenge to see Iniesta lift the AFC Champion's League, as it naturally has fewer "big teams" in the running. If you keep your eyes open for players approaching retirement, or who peaked in 2010, you could be quite successful, while keeping up with the Vissel Kobe spirit.

Playing a few seasons here will be a laugh for sure - just be sure to watch those wage bills.
