#2 Paco Alcacer
The Spaniard was reported to part ways with the club in January due to a lack of opportunities at the Nou Camp. However, the forward stepped in just perfectly when the call arrived. Luis Suarez's concerning form and Dembele's injury forced the gaffer to pick Paco Alcacer.
The Spaniard has led the Barcelona attack with ease. A good header of the ball, Alcacer displayed his abilities in the box whenever he was given the chance to start for the Blaugrana. Alcacer has found his way into a solid role in Valverde's plans and now stands proud as a regular player for the Catalans.
Alcacer's eye for the goal and physical prowess has reignited the much-desired attacking flair that the fans demanded and the Spaniard performed when required. A threat in set-piece situations, Paco has significantly improved upon his decision making and passing during the off-season.
The forward's below-average performances under Luis Enrique called for a move out of Barcelona but Alcacer's improved first-touch and finishing has earned him some time at the Catalan capital. The forward is still young and can prove to be a vital element in Valverde's long-term play in case the board doesn't decide to buy another world-class striker.
