[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
: 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
: 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
: 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
: 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!
: 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
