Out with calf injury Pedri suffered a left calf injury during Saturday's 2-0 win over Sevilla, his club announced Sunday.
Impact Pedri was fortunate not to have torn anything and could miss as little as 10 days if he stays on schedule. With this in mind, Pedri will likely miss Wednesday's Copa del Rey match against Sevilla but could return to full fitness by either Saturday's match against Osasuna or by the Mar. 10 UCL match against Paris Saint-German. In his place, Miralem Pjanic (ankle) could start in midfield if healthy or a younger player could be selected like Riqui Puig or Ilaix Moriba.

Creates two chances in win De Jong created two chances during Saturday's 2-0 win over Sevilla.
Impact De Jong set up one goal from five chances created over his past two matches in what is hopefully the beginning of a bigger offensive role for the Dutchman. Still, most of the team revolves around feeding Lionel Messi to do the rest of the work, so it'll take more time for de Jong to become properly valuable for fantasy. There are three matches to play over the next week in three different competitions, so de Jong will either be very busy or rotated in one of the fixtures to keep up his fitness.

Keeps another clean sheet Ter Stegen kept a clean sheet with one save made during Saturday's 2-0 win over Sevilla.
Impact Ter Stegen was able to keep his net empty for the second straight match, which is something that he's done on just three occasions all season. Still, that could become more difficult with fresh injury concerns for Gerard Pique and Ronald Aruajo after Saturday's match. Ahead of games against Osasuna and Paris Saint-Germain, the first contest will come in the Copa del Rey semifinal also against Sevilla and should be a good indicator of how well the defense can play heading into next week.

Continues to star in every match Messi scored one goal from four shots (three on goal) and provided one assist from one chance created in addition to conceding a yellow card during Saturday's 2-0 win over Sevilla.
Impact Messi was able to break down one of the best defenses in the league that has shown more cracks in their armor over the past week. He was also able to keep up his streak of scoring in nine straight matches with 13 total goal contributions in that span. While rarely rested, it's worth watching to see if Messi doesn't start in Saturday's match against Osasuna to stay ready for more important midweek fixtures against Sevilla and PSG over the next 10 days. If he does start, Messi has been a top fantasy option against practically every opponent on any day of the week.

Keeps clean sheet in win Alba kept a clean sheet with three tackles made (all won) and four completed interceptions during Saturday's 2-0 win over Sevilla.
Impact Alba failed to log a cross for just the second time all season but also kept his first clean sheet in five league matches. To succeed in most formats, Alba would need to be productive on both ends of the pitch, and that just hasn't happened with any consistency for much of the season. With two important midweek matches coming over the next week, Junior Firpo could replace Alba in the lineup for Saturday's trip to Osasuna.

Takes two shots in win Dest put two shots off target and made two interceptions during Saturday's 2-0 win over Sevilla.
Impact Dest has been able to make more of an attacking impact in recent matches with four chances created and two shots taken over his last two starts. It's still not enough to make a substantial change in his fantasy value, but it's worth monitoring if he continues to play higher up the pitch. Up next is a trip to Elche on Saturday, and Dest could be benched for Oscar Mingueza if selected for Wednesday's Copa del Rey match or the following Wednesday's UCL trip to Paris Saint-Germain.

Comes off early against Sevilla Pique played in 67 minutes of Saturday's 2-0 win over Sevilla but may have picked up a new injury, according to Cristina Navarro of MARCA.
Impact Pique reportedly told the bench that he felt something wrong in the first half and was removed from the contest early as a precaution. It's not known whether or not Pique is truly hurt, but after spending months on the sidelines with a knee injury it seems likely he may be rested for the next match against Osasuna to prepare for the important return leg at Paris Saint-Germain the following Wednesday.

Suffers new injury against Sevilla Araujo played 15 minutes as a substitute during Saturday's 2-0 win over Sevilla but may have picked up a new injury, according to Cristina Navarro of MARCA.
Impact Araujo didn't look happy after his return from a sprained ankle was cut short. He came on as a replacement for the potential injury to Gerard Pique, so there may now be some worries for the Barca defense ahead of a busy week. More should be made clear about Araujo before Wednesday's Copa del Rey match also against Sevilla as an indicator of the available options in defense for matches in the league against Osasuna and in the UCL against Paris Saint-Germain.

Scores in win Dembele scored one goal from three shots (two on target) during Saturday's 2-0 win over Sevilla.
Impact Dembele scored for the first time in 11 league matches in a continuation of his solid form when in the starting lineup (one goal from 14 shots over last three starts. Over the past few weeks, Dembele usually comes off the bench in the games before the most important matches, and this should hold true with Saturday's trip to Osasuna coming just before the important UCL second leg against Paris Saint-Germain next Wednesday.

Exits with muscle injury Pedri was forced off in the 71st minute of Saturday's win against Sevilla with a muscle injury in his lower leg.
Impact Pedri was on his fourth-straight start for Barcelona in two weeks, which likely played a part in the injury. The hope is that it's not a serious injury, but like any muscle injury in the leg, it'll likely keep him out a week or two, at a minimum, putting his status in doubt for the second leg against PSG.
