According to the Statistics of the Daily Sports, Many of Frankie De Jong's stats have slipped this season, and if Xavi returns to the 3 midfield system, he may become a victim.
De Jong's first season with Barca was outstanding, with 51 games in his second season, albeit a slight underperformance.
Statistics show that last season, De Jong had a total of 3518 successful passes, averaging 68.98 per game, while in 19 games so far this season, De Jong has only completed 940 passes, falling to 49.47 per game.
De Jong has conceded the ball a total of 170 times this season, averaging 8.94 per game, an increase from the previous two seasons (7.69 in the debut season and 8.43 last season). De Jong has not slipped in terms of the number of times he has regained the ball, and he has regained the ball a total of 104 times this season, averaging 5.47 times per game, although slightly lower than the average of 5.72 times per game in his debut season, but higher than the average of 5.14 times per game last season.
Now, Nico and Garvey have surpassed De Jong in terms of data, and considering that Busquets is an unshakable candidate for the back position, if Xavi decides to move back to the three-midfield formation, de Jong may be a victim.
