#3 Sergio Busquets (6.98)
Barcelona have been blessed to have a player like Sergio Busquets play for them for 14 seasons now. The Spaniard is arguably one of the best defensive midfielders of the 21st century.
Trending
With his fantastic reading of the game, superb tackling and intercepting abilities, Busquets has been a delight to watch. At the age of 33, he's still going strong and remains a vital player for the Catalan club. He has had the most successful dribbles this season in the league with 93.3% successful dribbles.
With 43 successful tackles, he ranks fourth in this regard. He has made the second-most number of passes into the final third with 152 such passes this season.
Busquets' presence in midfield is very important if Barcelona are to qualify for the Champions League next season.
#2 Frenkie De Jong (7.09)
The Dutch midfielder receives a lot of criticism from Barcelona fans but there is no denying that he is vital to the club. His performances in midfield have been crucial to steadying the 2021-22 season after a poor start.
Frenkie De Jong is one of the most talented midfielders in La Liga right now. With his box-to-box abilities, the Dutchman is capable of dictating the tempo of the game. He has two goals and two assists to his name so far this season but there is scope for improvement.
On his day, De Jong can be a very difficult player to handle. Under the guidance of Xavi, the 24-year-old can grow into an amazing midfielder and hopefully a big player for the club.
#1 Memphis Depay (7.38)
It was a dream come true for Memphis Depay when he was able to sign for Barcelona in the summer transfer window from Lyon. Despite the club's struggles, the Dutchman has performed reasonably well this season.
With his directness and goal-scoring abilities, Depay has managed to score eight goals and register two assists in 16 appearances so far in the league. He has been able to draw fouls from defenders and has tried to keep some pressure up front.
With some more support in attack, Depay can surely be more productive in front of goal. Xavi will rely heavily on the Dutch forward for the remainder of the season to ensure Champions League football next season.
