The 'ranking' of the most used by Xavi: Abysmal difference between Gündogan and Alonso

The FC Barcelona has closed the 2023 with feelings found and the imperial need to improve his provision for 'litigate' by the titles in the second stretch of the season 2023/2024. The culés, with a lot of problems in both areas, have to take a step forward and recover the regularity that allowed that, in the past course, raised two titles: Supercopa of Spain and LaLiga.

Xavi Hernández has to find the formula that his team go back to be reliable and define the pieces that will be intocables and that, besides, can serve of engine for a Barça 'needed' of talent. Already in the first months of season has left clear who are his intocables, but also who are the players that do not go in in his plans or that, in general, have to litigate much more to win a place in his XI.

The new signings star the ranking

Ílkay Gündogan, the one who landed in the City Condal this summer like free agent from the Manchester City, has turned into the most used footballer by Xavi and one of the most important pieces for the team, although it has had to stroll by all the positions of the centre of the field. The German has contested the 24 clashes of this season (18 in LaLiga and six in the Champions League) with 1.957 minutes of action, six assistances and two goals. Has the poster of indisputable and, especially, vital player.

It is still in him the classification Joao Cancel, in spite of that arrived to the Barça with the season begun. It has played in the two sides, as inner and extreme. The trainer egarense trusts fully in him and of there that it was taking advantage of to the maximum his cession. They are 1.715' in 21 parties (3 targets and two passes of goal). Robert Lewandowski closes the 'top 3' with 1.664' 21 presentations, conditioned by the injury that suffered in October. It registers 14 g/to.

In this ranking also appears Marc-André ter Stegen, that had played the 17 parties (1.530') before suffering lumbar problems that forced him to go through the operating theatre. It appears Alejandro Balde that, although it has lost leadership and has remained argued in several opportunities, has had 1.527' of action in 22 apareciones, little more than Jules Koundé (1.520') that also happened some weeks in the infirmary. They follow Joao Félix (1.307'), Christensen (1.293'), Ronald Araújo (1.290') and Gavi (1.172), before it fell in the infirmary with a complete break of the ligament crossed previous of the right knee and an injury associated to the external meniscus.

The players in a second stair

In a second stair are the players that have suffered important injuries or that they are acting usual in the plans of Xavi, as they are the cases of Lamine Yamal (1.091') and Ferran Torres (1.057'), two footballers that have appeared like revulsivos. It follows him Frenkie of Jong (994') and Oriol Romeu that began being indisputable, but has lost bellows (968'). Raphinha (814'), Pedri (768') or Iñigo Martínez (714') have not been able to have the continuity wished, whereas, between the less used, are Fermín (712'), Iñaki Crag (630'), that has adueñado of the goal, Sergi Roberto (390') and Marcos Alonso that, in addition to being in the infirmary, does not go in in the plans of the club and sum only 299'.
