Barca fan suggests way Pedri, Gavi and Casado can be played at same time – we draw it up in a lineup

Barcelona aims to return from the winter break as a more focused team, looking to regain their dominance and start winning matches consistently again.

Hansi Flick is gaining more options as players recover from injuries, enabling him to fully utilize his squad.

There have been some questions about how Pedri, Marc Casado, and Gavi can be integrated into the same system if they were ever to play together.

A Barcelona fan on Reddit, Tryitworks, offered a suggestion, saying: “They don’t even play the same position, so why compare? Gavi fits better in the classic 4-3-3, like we had in Guardiola’s time with Iniesta, Xavi, and Busquets. Without comparing them directly, I see Gavi as Xavi, Pedri as Iniesta, and Casado as Busquets based on their likely positions.”

There is a way for the three talented midfielders to play together, but it would require Flick to slightly adjust his formation.

He would need to shift to a 4-3-3, with Casado sitting deep in front of the defense. Pedri and Gavi would play ahead of him as the two number 8s.

This change might push Raphinha to a left-wing role, allowing Lamine Yamal to remain on the right.

Possible Barcelona XI with Pedri, Gavi, and Casado: Pena, Kounde, Cubarsi, Martinez, Balde, Casado, Pedri, Gavi, Yamal, Raphinha, Lewandowski.

During the Atletico Madrid match, Pedri and Gavi were spotted having an intense conversation, leading fans to speculate that they were discussing Lewandowski.
