Options to Replace Aleix Vidal at FC Barcelona, Part 2: Thinking Beyond the Squad

With Aleix Vidal out for the rest of the season, FC Barcelona will need a deputy for Sergi Roberto when the Catalan does not play. Earlier, we looked at some in-house options to play the role. Now we look at some more creative alternatives.

Use a B Teamer

Status: Either Nili Perdomo or Sergi Palencia

Strengths: Familiar with both the position and the system at large.

Weaknesses: Inexperienced at the highest level.

Luis Enrique could count on a B teamer to join full-time as a member of the rotation.
