Gavi & Fermín DROPPED? Flick’s Midfield Trio Will Shock Barça Fans!

Flick has a midfield dilemma at FC Barcelona — and his decisions might just shock the fanbase.

In this episode of The Barca Brief, we take a deep dive into Hansi Flick’s options in midfield ahead of the 2025/26 season. With Pedri, Frenkie de Jong, Gavi, Fermín López, Marc Casadó, Pau Prim, Torre, and even Raphinha or Olmo pushing for central roles, the competition is fierce.

But there’s only room for three.

Could Flick really bench Gavi? Is Frenkie still untouchable? And what about emerging stars like Fermín or Casadó — could they break into the XI under a new manager?

We analyse:
✅ Flick’s preferred midfield setup and tactical style
✅ Player-by-player breakdown: strengths, roles, form
✅ Predicted starting trio
✅ Who gets benched — and why

Let us know in the comments: Who would YOU start in Flick’s midfield three?
