Barcelona's predicted starting XI for the 2019/20 season

Central Defensive Midfielder: Sergio Busquets

Barcelona's midfield will undergo numerous changes as the season progresses, but one constant in that department is Sergio Busquets. The manager can simply not afford his exclusion.

Over the years, Busquets has established himself among the best in his position in the world. As such, he will have to anchor the play in the middle for La Blaugrana.

Central Midfielder: Frenkie de Jong

FC Barcelona Unveil New Player Frenkie de Jong

Frenkie de Jong established himself as one of the most sought-after players following his heroics for Ajax. Many high-profile clubs, including Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain, had been keeping tabs on him until Barcelona secured his services in January this year.

He is expected to be a starter once the season commences. He might turn out to be another Barcelona stalwart in the long run.
