10 - Ansu Fati

[Andresito]

His best (and only) position is in a front two with a more physical striker next to him.

Fati cannot run, cannot press, and to save his life, wouldn't win a duel. Gaining any kind of advantage in a 1 on 1 situation is mission impossible for him. I hope he has a successful career somewhere else, but he is done at this level.

A bit too harsh, but yeah he doesn't belong to Barca

 

[Messi983]

He still loses all the direct duels he engages in. It's incredible, it's like he has negative strength.

So basically like tractor

 

[MonteCuler]

Yes he should leave in the summer but until he does let's use him as a rotational option which he has proven to be capable of playing yasterday

Should undoubtedly start against Valladolid and potentially the last few Liga games if we win El Clasico. It's a mistake he received no minutes at all prior to this, a big mistake but it is what it is. Let's use him now.

Probably too harsh, he could’ve gotten more minutes this season. But needs to move come summer.

 

[Fati_Future_BallonDor]

Looked quicker than a few months ago and with a bit luck he would have scored, maybe 983 was right he can be still useful, at least as a sub player

 

[Horatio]

yeah he indeed looked quicker. I have been [+]^ing on his speed for while. That surprised me.

But I also think it is due to Mallorca B.

Also cause when Raphinha came ond was moving through center not even at full speed looked quite faster than Fati already.

 

[BusiTheKing]

The key takeaway for me is that he looked more comfortable exerting his body. The stiffness and the apprehension we've previously noted in his movements were not visible. He wasn't rapid or flying around in the press (he never was), but there was an aggression in his movements going forward. Which means he is regaining the right feeling with his hamstring.

We know he's talented enough. I would keep.

 

[JamDav1982]

He was decent but there is no chance whatsoever the club want to keep him past this summer.

 

[Loki]

We know he's talented enough. I would keep.

You understand that he's earning as much as a Pedri does for example?

 

[JamDav1982]

Can see them doing what did for Umtiti and Lenglet and extending with lower wage to free up FFP.

 

[Masetro10]

Ansu didn't look terrible. Play him vs Valladolid hope he looks even better and ship him out this summer.

 

[jamrock]

Ansu didn't look terrible. Play him vs Valladolid hope he looks even better and extend his contract in the summer

I agree.

 

[khaled_a_d]

Can see them doing what did for Umtiti and Lenglet and extending with lower wage to free up FFP.

Did we do that to Lenglet? I remember we did but there is no official source for that and TM still has him with only 1 year left in his contract

 

[TheStig]

Other clubs can't wait to give him a huge salary because he had one semi solid game in the last 2 seasons.
