Barca squad/XI 2024/25

[Andresito]

Araujo started putting up this attitude of barca needs me more than other way around.

I dunno, thought there were rumours of him open to leaving. Could be fake.

I think the club very much wanted to get rid of him considering his market value.

He's barely been involved in marketing during summer for new kit etc. He has been in Uru for a while now but in social media it's been very quiet surrounding him from official channels.

Also noticed his name is very low in the list when choosing player print for kits on official site. I remember him being far up, like top 5 last few years together with Frenkie. Now both are at the bottom of the list and at the top you have Yamal, Gavi, Pedri and Lewy. Don't think it's a coincidence.

Interesting.

Why are you basing his worth on print kits LMAO.

You quote a month old post and that's what you take from it? God damn

It's not my fault. There is something screwy happening on this forum when visiting from my browser.

The paging gets cut short, like up to 5-6 pages, and I assumed the last page was the latest, but it's actually old as you rightly point out.

No idea what's going on but it didn't happen before.

De Jong is back. Olmo, Gavi, Fermin and even Araujo's return are not far away. Fati gave good impression the last game. Who Flick will pick for stable starting 11? And what do you think it should be perfect line-up?

My Line up:
Lewa
Raphinha Olmo Yamal
Gavi Frenkie
Balde Araujo Inigo Kounde
Szczesny​

Gavi/ Pedri Cassado
Balde Inigo Cubarsi Kounde
Szczesny

No way De Jong and Araujo come back as automatic starters.
They have to earn their place in the 11.

 

[Birdy]

0 chance De Fraud plays ahead of Casado after the NT break.

IF he picks up his form, and IF he becomes the player he promised to be but never happened, IF...
IF...
IF...

Then maybe

PS: Olmo Pedri Raphina and Yamal are all nailed starters if fit, the whole season.
The utility of Gavi Fermin (I say De Fraud too) will be in rotation.
The schedule is heavy

 

[draconifire]

Lewa
Raphinha Olmo Yamal
Pedri/Fdj Casado/Gavi
Balde Inigo Cubarsi/Araujo Kounde
Szczesny

Araujo proves himself, then he is rotated with Cubarsi. Inigio is the best CB we have, plus he is left-footed, I quite like the fluidity it provides. He's the undisputed starter for us.
Pedri rotates with Fdj, Pedri is still miles better than him in CM.
Casado is still the one, but Gavi will take the spot eventually.

 

[Fati_Future_BallonDor]

I think Hansi's midfield will be pedri, olmo, de jong and then he will change based on the performances, would surprise me if Flick sees Casado over De Jong. From what ive heard he is a big De Jong fan 🤔

 

[Gazzznigga]

De jong will walk into that team if and when fit.

 

[khaled_a_d]

The biggest question with Frenkie is fit with Pedri.
He is hands down the 2nd best player among the potential candidates of the double pivot, after Pedri, but how both fit with each other is a big question.
Frenkie is a ball hog, and plays a bit too vertical, and both him and Pedri rarely got the best of each other under both Koeman and Xavi.
If Flick can fix that, he will start, otherwise he will compete with Pedri for that 2nd position.

Idk if you are referring to when everyone is fit, or in the week after internatiomal break. I'll assume it's the second.

Lewa
Raphinha Olmo Lamine
Pedri Frenkie
Balde Cubarsi Inigo Kounde
Szczesny

The only disputable part here is Frenkie. He seems to be a little out of form after that injury but when he picks himself up I think there won't be much consideration over whether he starts. Casado and Gavi should get big minutes regardless, even in the big games vs Bayern and Madrid.

 

[Andresito]

Gala XI these upcoming weeks will without a doubt be

Szczesny
Kounde, Cuba, Inigo, Balde
Casado, Pedri
Yamal, Olmo, Raphinha
Lewy


Provided everyone stays fit, picking that gala XI in say January will be a lot harder. I won't even try to guess because it's so dependent on form and how likes of Gavi and Frenkie fit in Flick's tactics. Even Christensen and Araujo. So far Frenkie looks far from match fit and may take even longer than Gavi to get a proper start.
