According to the data handled by the AI, two of the usual starters should be substitutes
Ancelotti has his block of substitutes whom he systematically discards unless injuries force him to make them starters.
The Artificial intelligence (AI) has burst into football to provide performance data for each player throughout the season. For the Classic he has sneaked in making a prediction about the starting eleven What Ancelotti should take if you followed these recommendations, as ‘DAZN’ discovers. Fran García would enter that starting team left back instead of Mendy and Joselu at the point of attack replacing Rodrygo.
The team would be completed by those who have been playing regularly. and who form the main block of the Italian: Kepa, Carvajal, Rüdiger, Alaba, Tchouaméni, Kroos, Valverde, Bellingham and Vinicius. The two Spanish internationals would sneak into that starting eleven against Barcelona accumulating merits for the performance offered in his appearances this season, despite the fact that his initial role is as a substitute.
FAVORED BY THE LOSSES
Joselu is responding effectively every time the Italian has given him the opportunity to play. Favored by Vinicius’ injurywho missed four games, Ancelotti had to turn to the Galician striker who took advantage of his opportunities. He is the second top scorer for the whites with five goals, two more than Vinicius. He has been started in six games, and scored in five. He is the tenth player who has had the most minutes of the squad, scoring a goal every 127 minutes.
Fran García started the first five games, taking advantage of Mendy’s injury. His outburst went from more to less and in the sixth gamethe debut in the Champions League against Unión de Berlin, Ancelotti left him on the bench to put Camavinga. He returned to the eleven in the derby, but his poor performance and Mendy’s recovery relegated him to the background. Nevertheless, his work has been recognized by Luis De la Fuente who called him in the last selection window to play a game and a half and return to eleven against Bragabut more to give breaks against the Clásico than to restore ownership.
