Eric Garcia
25-Year-Old
Barcelona
La Liga
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Garcia played 29 La Liga matches in 2024/25, scoring two goals and providing three assists from the back line. He remained fit and dependable over the course of a demanding season, and after a failed transfer to Girona, he proved to coach Hansi Flick that he could be counted on. Heading into 2025/26, Garcia is set to remain a valuable rotation option in a possession-based defense. If he maintains his consistency, there's a chance he gets back to 20-plus starts and 10-plus clean sheets, though neither thing is guaranteed making him somewhat risky as a center-back.
Fit to play
Garcia (hamstring) has trained fully in recent days and is an option for Sunday's clash against Sevilla, according to coach Hansi Flick. "All the players who train with us can play and can start."
ANALYSIS
Garcia has shaken off the hamstring issue that kept him out of the Champions League clash against Newcastle and is back in contention for Sunday's showdown with Sevilla after returning to full training with the squad. This is a major boost for the Blaugranas since he is an undisputed starter whenever he is fully fit and available. That said, with the second leg against the Magpies looming Wednesday, Garcia could be eased back in with a role off the bench against Sevilla.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Magpies keen on him
Newcastle United could attempt a move to sign Eric Garcia, according to BBC.
ANALYSIS
Garcia has struggled to play regularly at Barcelona this season, and he's keen on leaving the club at the first possible chance in order to have the same continuity he had at Girona during the 2024/25 season. Newcastle would be open to giving him a larger role, but they'd need to reach an agreement with Barca to sign the Spaniard.
