After acquiring the services of Arturo Vidal, Malcom, Clement Lenglet, Arthur, and Marlon, FC Barcelona were expected to have as much firepower in their second stringers like the mainstays but it was a different case for them.

Although Arthur has been showing a lot of promise in the midfield, he seems to be more restricted than what he can show the world of what he's capable of. But the most intriguing to look into is the case of Vidal.

The statement from the Chilean says it all. Only being able to start the match for FC Barcelona for two games, Vidal's still looking to fill in the spot that was left by Paulinho but Valverde doesn't seem to put much faith in him.

Nevertheless, not only about Vidal but with everyone in his squad, Valverde should be able to rotate well to give his precious players the chance to have a breather if they are planning to go for greatness this season.
