Don Fermín López: 4 goals and 2 assists in just four matchdays

FC Barcelona

The Andalusian is confirming one of his big strengths since he settled into the first team: his huge ability to arrive from midfield and show up in scoring positions. Even though he has started out as a midfielder or attacking midfielder, Fermín is putting up numbers that look more like those of a forward.

His latest goal came this Sunday against Valencia at Mestalla. Fermín got into the box to make the most of an assist from Anthony Gordon and finished with his left, putting Barcelona's second goal on the board before the break.

Another example of how easily the Blaugrana player can get into the attack. Fermín was also chosen by Hansi Flick as a starter in midfield alongside Pedri and Rodri, taking Dani Olmo's place in the starting XI.

A constant threat to defenses

Fermín had already begun LaLiga making his current form clear. In the opening match, he scored a brace against Elche, and along with Raphinha he was one of Barcelona's main offensive protagonists.

His mobility, intensity, and ease in getting into the area are making him an especially dangerous piece within Flick's system. He does not need to be involved constantly in the build-up to create danger: when he finds space near the opposing box, he is one of LaLiga's midfielders with the greatest goal-scoring ability.

Fermín, a goldmine for fantasy managers

This offensive growth is also translating clearly in fantasy games. Goals and assists are turning Fermín into one of the most interesting midfielders in the competition, especially as long as he maintains this consistency in Flick's lineups.

In addition to his attacking output, he racks up points for shots, arrivals in the area and involvement in dangerous actions, so he can deliver strong scores even on matchdays when he does not manage to find the net.

Four matchdays have been enough to confirm that Fermín López has started completely fired up. Four goals and two assists, and a feeling that is becoming more and more obvious: if he keeps this level of prominence, he could turn into one of the big names of the season for both Barcelona and fantasy managers.
