As the La Liga approaches, Barcelona is about to start their journey of the 2025-26 season, and they will usher in their first La Liga match in Mallorca.

Marca said that although Barcelona had determined the main lineup last season, coach Frick still had some uncertainties. Especially in the right back, centre back and front midfielder positions, Frick was still a little hesitant.

The goalkeeper's position is no surprise: Joan Garcia is Flick's first choice. On the back line, Kubasi and Barde are undisputed starters.

However, it is still a question of who will be partnering with the young Kubasi to the centre-back. Araujo and Christensen are both competing for the free spot in Inigo Martinez's transfer to the Saudi side.

Conde currently has the advantage in the right back position, but Eric Garcia has performed well in the preseason and is also likely to compete for this position. Garcia started in the Gamble Cup and performed well at the full-back position, becoming an important choice for Frick.

Another major problem is the front midfielder position. Garvey, Fermin and Ormo are all competing for this position. In theory, Ormo is the most likely candidate to take on the role, but the performances of the other two made it difficult for Frick to make a decision.

Garvey performed outstandingly in the preseason and even scored three goals in the Asian Tour, second only to Yamal (four goals). Fermin started in Gambel Cup and scored twice, and despite other teams interested in him, he was determined to succeed in Barcelona.

Pedri and De Jong will be the main candidates in the position of double midfielders. The forward trio is expected to be Yamal, Lewandowski and Rafinia, although the addition of Ferran Torres and Rashford has increased competition.
