Eric Garcia
24-Year-Old
Barcelona
La Liga
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.
Bench option
Garcia (undisclosed) is on the bench for Sunday's match against Sevilla.
ANALYSIS
Garcia is back with the team after a slight knock was suffered in their midweek UCL match, with the defender recovering to be fit for a bench spot. This is good news for the club as they gain back more defenders, with Garcia starting in seven of his nine appearances this season. He will hope to return to his starting role in the defense, although he could be relegated to a rotational role moving forward, as the club has recovered injured players in the defense.

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.
