#3 Eric Garcia
Already a regular name on the team sheet, Eric Garcia has proven himself to be a player Barcelona can rely upon. Garcia also delivered some majestic performances for Spain recently in the absence of the injured Sergio Ramos in defense.
Trending
Widely regarded as a promising centre-back, Barcelona was Garcia's destination after spending his teenage years at Manchester City. The Spaniard is excellent on the ball and times his tackles well which is why he is an asset at the back.
Despite his age, Garcia is an imposing presence in defense. The 20-year-old can anticipate opponents' moves with his tactical intelligence and is extremely aggressive in his marking.
It goes without saying that Garcia still has a lot to learn. He has shown the potential to only grow with experience and improve to be a future star.
#2 Pedri
Pedri has already been one of the best players in a subdued Barcelona team this campaign. He has all the hallmarks of a great midfielder and he has certainly exceeded all expectations with his splendid performances so far. For his exploits, Pedri is one of the candidates to win the Golden Boy award this year.
Blessed with superior tactical intelligence, Pedri is the pulse of the current Barcelona side. The 18-year-old can create and utilize space at will, ultimately dislodging defenses with his creativity. He is the current architect of Barcelona with his ability to dictate the tempo of the match.
Like Gavi, Pedri is also a typical La Masia graduate. He has all the skillset to be a midfield maestro like Xavi and Iniesta. It remains to be seen what they can achieve in the future.
#1 Ansu Fati
Ansu Fati is proving to be the most crucial player for Barcelona. In the absence of the likes of Messi and Griezmann, Fati has been delivering in front of goal. The Spaniard made an immediate impact after his return from injury and has racked up three goals and one assist in all competitions.
What separates Fati from the rest is his calm demeanor in the final third. The 18-year-old shows immense composure during the attacks, which makes him a nightmare for his opponents. In addition to his traits, Fati is a terrific finisher which is evident from his statistics.
For his caliber, the Catalan giants handed Messi's famous #10 kit to Fati after the Argentine's departure. The Spanish prodigy will surely end up as a legend if he keeps up his habit of consistently delivering majestic displays.
