2025 Fantasy Outlook
Injuries hampered Gavi for a second-straight season, limiting him to roughly 1,000 minutes yet again after posting 2,500 in the 2022/23 campaign. The midfielder did add a goal and assist when healthy, but he never really looked like himself. The young midfielder still has bags of potential and offers a lot to the team, but two years of injuries have started to derail his career. He's still just 20 years old and has shown offensive potential in the past. The question is where he fits in the squad and if healthy for an entire season, what his minutes will look like. Notably, his final five starts last season were made as a defensive midfielder.
Improving during recovery
Gavi (knee) is improving a lot during his recovery from injury but won't be rushed back, coach Hansi Flick said in the press conference. "Gavi is training and improving a lot. The most important thing is to stay calm and take it step by step. He has a long career ahead of him and there's no need to rush."
ANALYSIS
Gavi is progressing well and improving during his recovery from a knee injury but the midfielder won't be rushed back by the medical staff. The Spaniard has been sidelined since August and no risk will be taken with him to avoid any new setback when he will return. Gavi has been a rotational player for the Blaugranas last season and will likely regain that role once fully back fit.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Ready to leave Barcelona?
Gavi is one of several Barcelona players who might end up leaving the club during the summer transfer window, according to Samuel Meade of The Sun.
ANALYSIS
Gavi remains a player worth keeping around for Barcelona, but the central midfielder could be keen on having a bigger role, and that's not likely to happen anymore. He seems to have fallen the pecking order and is now a backup option in midfield, and his role could diminish even further in 2025/26 if Barca sign another midfielder or two. It wouldn't be crazy to imagine Gavi leaving Barcelona in the summer.
