Eric Garcia
24-Year-Old
Barcelona
La Liga
GTD
Injury Nose
Est. Return 11/9/2025
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Garcia played 29 La Liga matches in 2024/25, scoring two goals and providing three assists from the back line. He remained fit and dependable over the course of a demanding season, and after a failed transfer to Girona, he proved to coach Hansi Flick that he could be counted on. Heading into 2025/26, Garcia is set to remain a valuable rotation option in a possession-based defense. If he maintains his consistency, there's a chance he gets back to 20-plus starts and 10-plus clean sheets, though neither thing is guaranteed making him somewhat risky as a center-back.
Can play with mask
Garcia (nose) is available moving forward for Barcelona since he can play with the mask, coach Hasni Flick said in the press conference, according to Managing Barca.
ANALYSIS
Garcia suffered a fractured nose in the midweek clash against Club Brugge in the Champions League but is back available moving forward since he can play with the mask according to coach Hansi Flick. This is good news since Garcia will likely return to a starting role on Sunday.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Magpies keen on him
Newcastle United could attempt a move to sign Eric Garcia, according to BBC.
ANALYSIS
Garcia has struggled to play regularly at Barcelona this season, and he's keen on leaving the club at the first possible chance in order to have the same continuity he had at Girona during the 2024/25 season. Newcastle would be open to giving him a larger role, but they'd need to reach an agreement with Barca to sign the Spaniard.
