Under Hansi Flick, FC Barcelona is gearing up for the new season amidst uncertainties about transfers and departures. With financial balance needed for new signings, Flick is focusing on maximizing the current squad's potential.
Barcelona boasts versatile players, offering tactical flexibility. Andreas Christensen can play as a pivot despite being a central defender. Jules Koundé, initially a central defender, has excelled as a right-back for both Barça and France. Young talents like Héctor Fort and Mika Faye can also adapt to multiple positions in defense.
In midfield, Gavi can play as an attacking midfielder or in a double pivot role once recovered from injury. Frenkie de Jong and Ilkay Gündogan can perform as both defensive and attacking midfielders.
In attack, Ansu Fati returns from a loan at Brighton and can play as a left-winger or central striker. Potential returns for João Cancelo and João Félix add further versatility, with Cancelo able to play as a full-back on either side and Félix as a winger or attacking midfielder.
This versatility equips Flick with numerous tactical options for the upcoming season.
