Beware! Hansi Flick and Barça switch to rotation mode.

FC Barcelona

We live in times in which match congestion is our daily bread and that means the need to have as long a squad as possible in order to tackle a schedule that, especially for teams playing European competition, borders on the overexploitation of those who live off this.

A new blaugrana reality

In the case of Fútbol Club Barcelona, this reality is joined this year by a certain financial breathing space that has allowed them to go into the market to practically double all positions and do so with players of proven quality. This, combined with the demands of someone like Hansi Flick, has meant that the blaugrana side take to the pitch with an intensity rarely seen and in which the union of that intensity with unquestionable quality has resulted in one rout after another for the delight of the culer faithful.

Danger: rotations

But all of this has a less friendly side, and it is the dreaded rotations. That figure as fashionable as it is necessary in modern football is one of the biggest headaches, if not the biggest, for Fantasy managers who, just when they are already savoring the points a blaugrana player can bring them, get hit with the blow an hour before the match that the player they signed during the week for a fortune will not be part of the game.

It is our duty to warn, in case any stragglers were still unaware, that the players of Barça this year have been, are and will be a stream of points ... if they play. And in this last respect it is going to be complicated to predict, because Hansi Flick is being seen comfortable switching players game by game and five by five. Endless variables are being produced with numerous pairings, namely: Éric-Kounde, Christensen-Gerard Martín, Cancelo-Espart, Fermín-Olmo, Gordon-Adeyemi ... a real carousel in which the first victim is predictability.

Deciphering Flick's Excel

As far as we are concerned, we will try to do our part of the job by attempting to decipher Flick's Excel and we will put all our effort and determination into this tough task but be very careful with your lineups and your investments, friends, the picture is anything but clear, at least for now.
