We might draw this one after 2 impressive wins

Ferran to get rested, Alba suspended
I would rather see 3 ATB to cancel Bilbao's aggressive 4-4-2

Memphis to come in as a sub

Barca cannot afford a draw at home at this point, the battle for 3rd and 4th place will became tougher and tougher as we progress into the final streach of the season.

We can through both dembele, and Adam, along with auba upfront. All three help defensively and if we get pressured we surely pose a great threat on the break so Athletic will have to be careful.
Busi fdj Pedri for midfield and we are ok there.
Defense without alba is an issue though.

What's it with you and 3ATB?

Not a good idea. Ferran Torres offers something different, you can't really go with 2 players of the same qualities and flaws like Dembele and Adama IMO.

Ferran, Aubameyang, and Adama is a good trio that just works right now, and that's with Ferran's shooting being bad. If Torres gets his scoring boots on, it will improve even more.

Well, I think Dest being the LB helps in that regards. Less one ancient player to worry about.
But means Ferran at LW, and should switch with Auba from time to time, With Araujo and Adama trying to cater for Alves on the right side.

That line-up is shocking. Adama and Dembele as wingbacks? Sorry but this is an L for you.

Xavi's 3 ATB system is atrocious.
I hope he never go for it again, the players were confused af when we deployed it

Eric one vs. one against Nico Williams most times? Add the worse possible option in Dembele as a wing back to not help him at all? Suicidal lineup.

Dest needs to play as a LB today for two reasons.

1. No other option really.
2. His performances lately warrant some continuity, even with Alves back. But since Alba is not available this time, it all falls together nicely.
