Joan Garcia
24-Year-Old

La Liga
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Garcia was brilliant for Espanyol last season, making a ridiculous 145 saves in 38 starts. He got his move to Barcelona on the back of the incredible season and now has the chance to push for the Golden Glove. He should face a far more manageable volume of shots and has a superior defensive group in front of him. Barcelona allowed 39 goals in 38 matches last season and if Garcia draws the start in 30-plus games, he should crack double-digit clean sheets.
Will start vs. Athletic Club
Garcia (knee) has been confirmed as the starting goalkeeper for Saturday's game against Athletic Club, per manager Hansi Flick during Friday's pre-match press conference.
ANALYSIS
"You're right, he's going to start," he said when asked about Garcia's chances of being the starter now that he's fully fit and ready to play. Garcia's return to the XI means Wojciech Szczesny will return to the bench.
