Flick warns of rotations and talks about Lamine, Raphinha, Olmo and Gabriel Jesus

FC Barcelona

Flick will keep rotating the squad

The most important statement for fantasy managers concerns rotations. Flick is especially pleased because Barcelona's performance does not drop when he changes the starting XI. "It's good to see that we make changes and the team keeps the level. It's good news for us". The coach also highlighted the intensity and quality of the training sessions, increasing competition within the squad. With the league and the Champions League underway, the message makes it clear that there will be a share of minutes and few players will have guaranteed to play practically everything.

Raphinha, Olmo and Gabriel Jesus can play as a nine

Flick also confirmed the huge range of solutions he has for the top of the attack. During the match, Raphinha, Dani Olmo and Gabriel Jesus were used as the striker. The coach explained what each option brings him: Dani Olmo stands out for his ability to control the ball and take part in the game, while Raphinha provides intensity and depth. "In every situation, and at every moment, we can make changes and that's a good thing". From a fantasy perspective, this increases the offensive possibilities of both players, but it also confirms that the nine position can change depending on the match.

Lamine Yamal continues to be fundamental

Flick again showed complete confidence in Lamine Yamal after another strong performance. "Lamine needed the goal today; it was a good match for him". The coach even defended his candidacy for the Ballon d'Or in public: "He's an exceptional, special player". In addition, when explaining the team's different attacking options, Flick once again mentioned the weight of Lamine in set-piece situations.

Another of the standout players was Raphinha. Flick said he put in "a very good match" and once again praised his importance in the dressing room. "Raphinha is a good captain". His ability to attack spaces and even show up as an offensive reference further boosts his fantasy appeal.
