Eric Garcia
25-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.
Sets up opener
Garcia assisted once to go with two shots (zero on goal) and one chance created in Sunday's 3-0 victory against Levante.
ANALYSIS
Garcia set up the opener for Marc Bernal with a brilliant cross. Garcia also rotated the ball well with 118 passes. He has now accumulated 15 clearances, 11 tackles and five interceptions in the last five games and this was his second assist of the campaign.

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.
