Barca Squad and Planning 2022/23

Update (according to what we hear so far)

Possible squad season 22/23:

Optimistic Version (financial issues resolved):
GK: Stegen, Maximiliano
Full-backs: Dest, Azpli, Alves, Roberto, Alba, Alonso
CBs: Araujo, Kounde, Eric, Christensen, Pique
MDs: Busi, Pedri, Gavi, Pablo Torre, Kessie, Nico
Attackers: Fati, Torres, Lewa, Raphinia, Memphis

Realistic Version:
GK: Stegen, Inaki Pena
Full-backs: Dest, Alves, Roberto, Alba
CBs: Araujo, Eric, Christensen, Pique
MDs: Busi, Pedri, Gavi, Pablo Torre, Kessie, Nico
Attackers: Fati, Torres, Lewa, Memphis, Abde

(I take FDJ's sale inevitable in both cases, or else even in the realist version we still have FDJ but no Lewa, Christensen, or Kessie)

The optimistic is a squad that can definitely clinch domestic double and reach UCL R16 or QF
The realistic is a squad that will struggle to win even domestic trophies, but might do so if the coach is exceptional

I think (based od rumors and Xavi's past) that he plans some sort of hybrid between 4-3-3 and 3-4-3

----------MATS----------
Kounde Araujo Pique
--------Busquets
---Pedri----Gavi-----Alba
Di Maria-Lewa-Fati

Di Maria and Alba provide width with Fati cutting in. In defense this can easily transform into the clasic 4-3-3

Alves already left.

Shitty lineup TBH

So, possible depth:
Gk - mats, pena
Defense: dest, araujo, christensen, pique, garcia, alba, balde
Mid: busi, pedri, gavi, fdj, kessie, nico, roberto
Off: fati, auba, dembele, raphinha, ferran

If we manage to offload puig, pjanic, braithwaite, umtiti, mingueza, depay and end up with this above its already good. Id be more then happy with that

The squad on paper is really good, We've got to be able to win one or two trophies at least this season.

Very thin in the middle if we sell Frenkie and don't sign anyone.

We have WAY to many attackers now.
Raphina, Demebele, Torres, Lewandowski and arguably Fati are all starters.
Ontop of that Depay, Auba, Traore and Braithwaite.

None of them will be happy sitting on the bench.

Traore is already gone. Braithwaite is a joke. Memphis should leave, but the news are quite hesistant on him.

Braithwaite should just happy to be granted access to the training ground. A million miles off the level required.
