Attack

Depay joined Barcelona as a free agent this summer following a prolific outing with Olympic Lyon in which he bagged 22 goals and 12 assists for the Ligue 1 giants in 40 games across all competitions.

The Dutchman outperformed most of Barca's attackers last term. It wouldn't be a shock to see him having an instant impact in Catalonia - especially given Ansu Fati's fragile situation at the moment and the uncertainties surrounding the future of some other offensive players.

Striker: Sergio Aguero

With Barca reportedly keen to offload Antoine Griezmann this summer, it's probable Aguero will get the nod to feature as the team's striker next season. The Argentine arrived as a free agent last month and he'll be keen to light things up in the Catalan capital.

A great friend of Messi, we could be up to witness another formidable attacking partnership between the duo, similar to the one we saw between Leo and Luis Suarez before the latter's departure last year.

Aguero endured a torrid outing last season due to an injury crisis. He could only bag six goals and one assist for Manchester City in 20 games. having regained his fitness, let's hope we'll see the prolific Aguero that we know at Camp Nou next term.

Right winger: Lionel Messi

This is perhaps the best time to have Lionel Messi on your team. The Argentine has just led his nation to triumph in the recently concluded Copa America tournament, finishing as the top scorer, best player and with the highest number of assists among other feats.

Messi is currently in one of the happiest periods of his career and that spells nothing but doom for opposition defenders. The Argentine will be inspired to fire Barca to success next term with the Champions League trophy in sight.

It should, however, be noted that Leo is still a free agent after his contract expired at the end of last season. He is expected to remain at Camp Nou as reports suggest he has agreed to sign a five-year deal with the Blaugrana.
