#4 Arthur Melo

The arrival of Frenkie de Jong at Barcelona over the summer meant that Brazilian international Arthur has been less assured of his place in the team.

However, the 23-year-old is a class act with the ball at his feet, and on occasions when he has played, his abilities have shone through.

Arthur was deployed on the right of a midfield three against Getafe, and he put up a brilliant performance, instigating attacks with his pristine passing and possession play.

He completed 89.8% of his attempted passes (which was the highest for those who played above 15 minutes in the match) and played five accurate long balls while also completing five dribbles.

Frenkie de Jong has played in every position across Barcelona's midfield, and at the Coliseum Alfonso Perez, he started on the opposite flank to Arthur in midfield.

The Dutch international dictated play for Barcelona, and also helped link up the defence with attack effectively. In total, De Jong played four long balls, of which three were accurate, while he also completed three dribbles against Getafe.

He posted rather low numbers in the passing department, completing just 38 passes at a rather poor ratio of 76.3% accuracy, but that took nothing away from his performance through the middle.
