Alex Balde
22-Year-Old
Barcelona
La Liga
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Balde made 32 league appearances (26 starts) and recorded four assists while helping the team keep four clean sheets in 2024/25. He matched a career high with 67 crosses and set a new mark with 26 chances created in league play, showing clear growth in his attacking output. His defensive awareness also improved steadily, confirming the qualities expected from him after a 2023/24 season hindered by injury. With more first-team experience behind him, Balde is expected to take another step in 2025/26. If he continues to develop, he could become one of the most productive full-backs in Europe and should again surpass 2,000 minutes easily.
Back on bench
Balde (hamstring) is on the bench for Wednesday's clash with PSG.
ANALYSIS
Balde received full medical clearance for Wednesday's clash pre-match and is back on the bench. The defender wasn't risked in the starting XI, unsurprisingly, but should be an option as a more attacking full-back off the bench. Gerard Martin remains in the starting XI for Wednesday's showdown.
