The possible surprises in the eleven of Valverde against the Athletic

They remain a lot of days by in front, but the FC Barcelona-Athletic of Madrid of this Sunday has taken airs of final by LaLiga. With a brecha of hardly five points before beginning the duel, any detail can be definite, and both teams will try to play his best letters. In the Barcelona edict still remain some doubts.

Although the half of the eleven is almost clear-cut, Ernesto Valverde medita which are the most adapted options for reencontrarse with the victory, and more after unfit them that they have cost points in the last commitments of the culés. If there are not setbacks or bets rompedoras, everything aims to that Ter Stegen, Sergi Roberto, Hammered, Umtiti, Jordi Alba, Busquets, Rakitic, Messi and Suárez have a place ensured, and the rest is, for the time being, an incógnita.

Attending to the decisions of the technician in what it goes of season, the expected would be that Andrés Iniesta also had his place between the headlines, although it neither would be of extrañar that reserved him for the second half in a party in which the physical wear will be more important that never.

Like this, his place and the last of the medullary, that also could correspond to a third piece of the forward, are the big incógnitas for the start, that seen the seen in Wanda Metropolitan, will condition the result of the meeting. Put by in front will have more importance that never, by what can not forgive at all since the referee of start to the meeting. 

These are the possible surprises in the eleven of Valverde

Philippe Coutinho

The Brazilian has been one of the usual substitutes of Iniesta, but also has showed that it can play range beside him. In spite of that for the moment it has gone going in in more occasions like acting, already started of start in a vital party like the turn of Glass against Valencia, and finish being decisive with a so much. Precisely, his shot can be a big argument with a rival that in defensive phase will armour not to leave happen to the 'jugones' Barcelona.

Ousmane Dembélé

It is beginning to start in the Barça and combines phases of confidence and desborde with some lagoons and errors up. It adapts to the game by both bands and can be useful so much in training 4-4-2 as in 4-3-3. It would be an interesting alternative for the start, especially to take the back of the defence 'colchonera' if the pressure is very high, but also when they happen the minutes by his intensity on a more tired rival. Has a lot of options.

Paulinho

The Brazilian surprised with physicist and goal in his première like Barcelona, but with the step of the months has gone remaining without batteries. His dynamism loses efficiency if no this to 100%, and carries several parties without giving his best version. It was the perfect option for big parties by his sacrifice and his arrival from second line, but has lost bellows and could lose also options. In spite of everything, Valverde values him in a 4-4-2 to the that gave stability and sees him like a more conservative option.

André Gomes

Of all the previously quoted, the Portuguese has the advantage to having been the elected for Wanda Metropolitan, where accompanied to Busquets, Rakitic and Iniesta. The technicians seem to see in him a good option when the contrary demand big efforts, although his indolencia and his little impact on the game concern enough. With everything, would not be of extrañar see him between the elected on the green.
