Villarato!
I think he can be better than Neymar in a sense he will be a system player.
That's not better. Like, at all.

As have been pointed out it's hard to know what's being compared to when naming Neymar.
As for the ability to pick something out of his ass out of nothing, Neymar is in a league of his own with likes of Messi.
Ansu isn't that type of player.
But when it comes to effectiveness Neymar is pretty low on the list. This is where Ansu shines.
It's very early to tell but I have the feeling that Ansu will be reliable in terms of what he does on the pitch.
I think Pedro is a good comparison with Ansu being a reliable player who guarantees hard work, good finishing, bravery and a great mentality.
But compared to Pedro he can be a bigger leader and star.
Career wise Neymar isn't THAT special. Ansu can also have that type of career. I think a challenge for him would be to beat Villa's goal record for Spain. Won't be easy but he has time, talent and mentality on his side.
Ansu is more effective? Mate, Neymar has had like 40 G+A for the past 6 years lol. But like Jamrock said, we don't need Ansu to be a one in generation talent like Neymar, we need him to be a very good player (if he's going to start for us) capable of producing on a consistent basis. That's enough for me really.
His workrate is meh.
Deffs better suited to striker
Neymar is completely different in term of talent. He played in Brazil but also was Brazil's ace at very young age.
It's only natural Neymar has a lot of goals in a team built around him in a shitty league.
Efficiency is not all about goals + assists. It's about making something concrete with the ball whenever you touch it.
Neymar's got too much flair and loves the shenanigans. Could maybe rather compare decisions rather than efficiency now that I think of it.
Ansu will never be as sexy as Neymar. But hopefully his teams can have more success than Ney's.

Ansu Fati is also completely different in terms of talent. He plays in Spain and has been decisive not only for Barcelona but also for Spain's national team at even younger age and in a completely different level than Brazil's league.
I'll get harsh replies, but Spain is a king of NT qualifiers for the last 15 years.
They are winning majority of their matches at ease.
The same as with Barca/Pep, Spanish style is perfectly suited in a league tournament and against inferior teams.
So, to some extent, whoever plays in qualifiers for Spain, he'll score, Spain will play nice and they'll win.
He played well yesterday and better than the last season, but come on, people are seriously comparing him with Neymar and Henry after a match against Ukraine.
Someone will reply: he played well against Germany too.
Well, you always have this phenomenon with young players: when they get their first chance, they play at 200%.
Because they are young, motivated, fresh, because they were never given similar chances.
Older players already had lots of similar matches and they surely won't play at 200% at home vs Mickey Mouse Ukraine (look at Thiago for example).
So, kids will often look better, more mobile, more motivated and more energetic than regular players.
But even Arthur was flying for 2 Months in October-November 2019 when he played at 120% motivation.
When he returned to a normal level of motivation, he was a different, way worse player.
And on top of that, you have fans who are desperate for new young gems and every move, pass or shot is at least 20, 30 or 50% overrated.
Remember first matches from Wague, Todibo, Araujo, Puig or even Alena.
Nobody looked like shit, isn't it?
Because they were all running like crazy and giving 200%.
Also, there is a factor that the opponents don't respect them yet so they are not marking those kids too heavily and then kids have more space in those early matches.
He played well yesterday, but seriously, you guys need to calm down a little bit.
And add other factors into maths.
