Right Center-Back – Oscar Mingueza / Eric Garcia
The former Barcelona B star, who was forced into the first team last season due to excessive injuries in the first team squad, will retain his place in the starting lineup. Mingueza played brilliantly in the right center-back role last season, and he has shown his aerial power in front of the goal as well. Although the player is very young and could make a few mistakes next season, he has been much more consistent than Clement Lenglet, and he has the passion to make up for his lack of experience. Eric Garcia will be his competition however since Koeman has more experience in working with Mingueza, he will be given the first chance while Garcia will need to prove himself in the training field.
