Frenkie De Jong, in pole position for some key Barca stats
The Dutchman is the only player to start all games and is the best passer
An indisputable starter, ten out of ten. Ronald Koeman lined up with his compatriot Frenkie de Jong in the XI for each of the official games so far this season, seven in La Liga and three in the Champions League.
If we look back, five seasons, the only players to do so are Gerard Pique (18-19, 19-20), Ter Stegen (17-18, 18-19, 19-20) and Leo Messi (17-18).
De Jong has played 890 minutes across 10 games, the most used player in the squad. He has also stood out in other aspects.
With 716 passes, he's the most accurate outfielder - 91.34% completion rate. Behind him is Sergio Busquets, on 91.28%. Goalkeeper Ter Stegen has 96.08% accuracy.
De Jong has also recovered 62 balls, only behind 65 from Gerard Pique. In Barcelona's 5-2 win over Betis he recovered 10, equalling his record from last season against Celta at Balaidos. This season he also recovered nine balls in the Clasico.
