[2/11] Fati has had an amazing start to his career so far. With 40 apps for #Barca and #Spain, he has 12 goals & 3 assists. He's only 17
. He's also broken several "Youngest" records for Barca, La Liga, UCL & Spain 

.




[3/11] In his break-out season under Valverde & Setien, Fati made a good impression, with crucial goals. He established himself well at Left Wing, stepping in to fill the hole than Neymar left when he moved to PSG.
[4/11] POSITIONING: My favourite attribute about Ansu Fati is his intelligent positioning. At just 17, he already has the instinct of a Winger.

: Understands how a LW & LB should combine

: Creates space for a LB overlap run

: Manoeuvres himself into pole position






[5/11] PACE: Fati can comfortably skip away from his defender in wide areas. His body is still growing, so he can actually get faster! This is an important attribute for a winger.

: Leaves Aidoo in the dust, draws the foul

: Runs between & past defenders, no support




[6/11] SKILL: Fati is so composed on the ball. He won't hesitate to dance past the opposition to create space or passing lanes. Amazing confidence for a youngster!

: Dances past Aidoo & passes

: Nice little shift of the ball

: Runs out of space, holds on to the ball






[7/11] PASSING: Fati's composure also helps him to pick out the right pass. He doesn't panic. He waits and keeps his eyes open until a passing lane opens up.

: Almosts connects with Messi

: Doesn't shoot into the bodies, leaves it for Messi




[8/11] SHOOTING: Fati's shooting has been incredible so far. He always makes the right choice (power, placement, timing) & leaves the keeper with no chance.

: Top of the net!

: Bottom corner!

: Touch and a poke!






[9/11] CONCLUSIONS: Fati
Is heir apparent to Neymar at Barca
Needs more muscle/strength to stay fit
Needs more playing time
Shouldn't always be relied on when we are losing
Can play #9. Koeman should try this
Emperor Bartomeu, please don't swap Fati for Cavani
