2025 Fantasy Outlook
Injuries hampered Gavi for a second-straight season, limiting him to roughly 1,000 minutes yet again after posting 2,500 in the 2022/23 campaign. The midfielder did add a goal and assist when healthy, but he never really looked like himself. The young midfielder still has bags of potential and offers a lot to the team, but two years of injuries have started to derail his career. He's still just 20 years old and has shown offensive potential in the past. The question is where he fits in the squad and if healthy for an entire season, what his minutes will look like. Notably, his final five starts last season were made as a defensive midfielder.
Avoids knee surgery
Gavi has avoided knee surgery as Barcelona opted for a conservative treatment that will sideline him for several weeks, according to Sport.
ANALYSIS
Gavi will undergo a conservative treatment of about three weeks for his knee discomfort and will avoid surgery to address the issue. This is good news for Barcelona since it prevents a long term absence, although with the injury of Frenkie de Jong (leg), his presence would have been useful in midfield. That said, this will leave some space for Marc Casado who is expected to see increased playing time until the injured players return.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Ready to leave Barcelona?
Gavi is one of several Barcelona players who might end up leaving the club during the summer transfer window, according to Samuel Meade of The Sun.
ANALYSIS
Gavi remains a player worth keeping around for Barcelona, but the central midfielder could be keen on having a bigger role, and that's not likely to happen anymore. He seems to have fallen the pecking order and is now a backup option in midfield, and his role could diminish even further in 2025/26 if Barca sign another midfielder or two. It wouldn't be crazy to imagine Gavi leaving Barcelona in the summer.
