10 - Ansu Fati

It's somewhat Fati's own fault, as he didn't listen to the doctors to do a surgery and decided a traditional treatment. Like Umtiti. But he made a name for himself and that means he'll find enough teams to pay him a good salary, so he doesn't need to worry about money.

Disagree.

Ansu at 16/17 has shown more than Felix has so far in his career.

Would rather bet on Ansu overcoming his injuries than Felix ever "put it all together" and become a useful and consistent player.

So it's an easy choice between the two for me. And for the lack of better realistically available/affordable options next year we could do a lot worse than give Fati another chance. We gave million chances to frickin Deulofeu and Adama who had nowhere near the talent Fati has.
Fati is similar to Felix since both were considered child prodigies.

I think Fati’s career at the top is done and dusted. He has no physical tools to make it. Unlike Felix whose struggle is mostly mental and still has some chance (albeit not big) of making it.

But their peak is of little relevance here since neither is likely to reach it. Fati stands no chance and Felix very little. What’s important is their current level and in that regard Felix outshines Fati.

But that’s just me.

It was the opposite actually. At least when it comes to the knee (Umtiti case, and Fati initial injury)
Club asked him to go to Cugat, a reputable doctor that is too old now (over 70)and he kept trying to fix it with several arthroscopy that failed.
At the end he had to consult other doctors and menisectomy was the only way but it seems it was actually too late as the injury became bigger and could have saved earlier.
He was one of several players who had to consult other doctors and repeat surgeries after Cugat (Coutinho and Stegen too) before the club finally stopped pushing everyone to him.

He had already lost his game with those injuries, but then got the hamstring to add to it. That was the one he refused club advice. Which was understandable.

PS: that doesn't grant different results if he did surgery with someone else, although it looks like it.
Same way it is just fan fiction that Umtiti could have saved his career if he followed the club advice.

When he had that little purple patch he was a brilliant finisher. I thought he would be the next Aguero or Romario.
Injuries have destroyed him both physically and mentally.

He was overrated.

Great finisher, maybe he was just lucky for some period of time, like Rashford last season.

He just does not have body to be top player, to weak and fragile.

starting to think barca universal is pretry unreliable
Tbh, they've been unreliable decent amount of time already. Always some banger names that lead to nothing, and always some idiotic transfer fees for our players that lead to nothing.
