FC Barcelona host Getafe at home in the Spanish La Liga, and ahead of kickoff on Saturday 10 October 2026 the team news is shaped largely by who is missing rather than who is in form. Both projected lineups below are predicted lineups built from recent selection patterns, not confirmed teams, and the absentee lists for each side raise real questions about who fills the gaps. With three Barcelona players and four Getafe players already ruled out, this preview focuses on how each coach is likely to cover those holes before the squads are officially named.
Predicted FC Barcelona Line-up
Hansi Flick’s side is projected in a 4-2-3-1, which is also listed as his preferred formation, so there is no tactical surprise baked into this projection. The group looks largely settled, with 9 of the projected XI starting their last match, suggesting Flick has a clear first-choice pool to draw from this week. Pedri and Lamine Yamal are the two names that stand out most, each having started all four of the matches used to build this projection, underlining their current importance to the side. Elsewhere there is more rotation, with players such as Fermín López and Daniel Olmo Carvajal appearing less consistently across the sample.
FC Barcelona predicted XI: Dominik Livaković; Eric García, João Cancelo, Andreas Christensen, Pau Cubarsí; Pedri, Rodrigo Hernandez Cascante, Fermín López, Daniel Olmo Carvajal, Pablo Martín Páez Gavira; Lamine Yamal
| Line | # | Player | Starts in last 4 | Last 3 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| G | 25 | Dominik Livaković | 1/4 | 1/3 |
| D | 24 | Eric García | 3/4 | 3/3 |
| D | 2 | João Cancelo | 3/4 | 2/3 |
| D | 15 | Andreas Christensen | 3/4 | 2/3 |
| D | 5 | Pau Cubarsí | 3/4 | 2/3 |
| M | 8 | Pedri | 4/4 | 3/3 |
| M | 16 | Rodrigo Hernandez Cascante | 4/4 | 3/3 |
| M | 7 | Fermín López | 2/4 | 2/3 |
| M | 20 | Daniel Olmo Carvajal | 2/4 | 1/3 |
| M | 6 | Pablo Martín Páez Gavira | 0/4 | 0/3 |
| F | 10 | Lamine Yamal | 4/4 | 3/3 |
Getafe Predicted Lineup
Pepe Bordalás is expected to stick with his favoured 5-3-2 shape, the same system listed as his preferred setup, giving Getafe a familiar defensive platform to work from. This is a settled side – 10 of the projected XI started their last match – which points to a fairly stable group heading into this fixture. David Soria and Dakonam Ortega Djené are the standout names here, both having started all four matches used in this sample, making them close to certainties barring a late change. The rest of the line, including the midfield trio and forward pairing, also shows strong recent usage, reinforcing how consistent Bordalás has been with his selections.
Getafe predicted XI: David Soria; Dakonam Ortega Djené, Zaid Romero, Johan Mojica, Andrés García, David Cordón Mancha; Nemanja Gudelj, Martin Satriano, Ramón Terrats; Iván Azón, Enes Ünal
| Line | # | Player | Starts in last 4 | Last 3 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| G | 13 | David Soria | 4/4 | 3/3 |
| D | 2 | Dakonam Ortega Djené | 4/4 | 3/3 |
| D | 24 | Zaid Romero | 3/4 | 2/3 |
| D | 22 | Johan Mojica | 3/4 | 2/3 |
| D | 21 | Andrés García | 2/4 | 2/3 |
| D | 3 | David Cordón Mancha | 1/4 | 1/3 |
| M | 8 | Nemanja Gudelj | 4/4 | 3/3 |
| M | 10 | Martin Satriano | 4/4 | 3/3 |
| M | 11 | Ramón Terrats | 3/4 | 2/3 |
| F | 20 | Iván Azón | 3/4 | 3/3 |
| F | 19 | Enes Ünal | 3/4 | 2/3 |
Team News and Confirmed Absentees
Frenkie de Jong, Joan García and Roony Bardghji are out injured for FC Barcelona, a trio that touches midfield, goalkeeping cover and forward depth all at once. With Joan García unavailable, Dominik Livaković is projected to continue between the posts, while on the bench Raphael Dias Belloli – who has started four of the matches used in this sample among the substitutes listed – looks the most in-form option to be called upon further forward if changes are needed.
| Player | Pos | Status | Reason |
|---|---|---|---|
| Frenkie de Jong | M | injured | Jumpers knee |
| Joan García | G | injured | Jumpers knee |
| Roony Bardghji | F | injured | Jumpers knee |
Juanmi, Kiko Femenia, Abdel Abqar and Christantus Uche are out injured for Getafe, a list that thins both the defensive rotation and the forward options available to Bordalás. Among the bench players, Mario Martín Rielves stands out with three starts in the sample used here, making him a logical candidate to step into the back line or midfield if cover is required before or during this match.
| Player | Pos | Status | Reason |
|---|---|---|---|
| Juanmi | F | injured | Wound |
| Kiko Femenia | D | injured | Hamstring Injury |
| Abdel Abqar | D | injured | Muscle bruise |
| Christantus Uche | F | injured | Jumpers knee |
How These Line-ups Were Picked
Each expected XI above was built from the last four available line-ups for that team, with more recent matches weighted more heavily than older ones when judging who is currently first choice. Players confirmed injured or suspended were removed from contention entirely before the projection was built. This remains a projection rather than an announcement, and it can and will change once each club names its official team closer to kickoff.
