I feel like this was a viable option for our midfield. Gavi has high number of defensive action and De Jong is a very good progessor. I came across this graph (from DataMB_) on twitter and it shows how compatible they could have been. I would have like to see the x axis as how much treat is created from passes(Opta probably has a stat for that), cause you can see how low players like Gundo, Modric, and Odegaard are but I am sure they are very dangerous from passes so is FDJ(that ball to Raph against Valencia 🧨).

Well Gavi-Gundogan was good in el clasico and there was talk of Gavi being put at the base of the midfield more often
But Gavis acl could severely affect things
