The key player in each part of the team for Hansi Flick 🔥

I make my decisions by evaluating what the players offer to the team, how valuable it is to the system, and how replaceable it is by alternatives in the squad.
• Defense: Araújo.
He has the highest ceiling. Faster and stronger than any other defender. The physical aspect is very important in Hansi Flick’s system - for several reasons.

Defenders are aggressive and step out if needed. Not losing individual battles is therefore one of the key aspects. Having enough pace to track down attackers that run in behind the high defensive line is the other key aspect.
• Midfield: Gavi.
Gavi represents all the characteristics Hansi Flick values: Technically sound on the ball, mentality monster and a great ball winner.

The thing about Gavi is that he can play at the base of the midfield (double pivot), or further up the pitch, but still be just as important. With time, he could become the first name on the team sheet.
Gavi averaged 3.71 tackles per 90 minutes. Oriol Romeu is in second place with 3.27, but he is not playing. The ball winning & space he covers has been fundamental for Barca.
• Attack: Lamine Yamal
In the current squad, only Lamine Yamal averages more than 2.5 dribbles per game. Out of all the attackers, it is Joao Felix in second place with 1.7 per 90 min. You can’t underestimate the value of dribblers.

A player like Fermin Lopez offers a lot of the same as Raphinha (ball striking, pressing, off the ball movements). There is an argument to be made for Lewandowski, but I still think Lamine Yamal’s profile is very unique to the Barca squad.
The key player in each part of the team can change by our activity on the transfer market. However, this is how I believe it is right now.
