Raphinha positioning shift Barcelona

The math behind Raphinha's start is wild when you consider how he was deployed back in the 2025-26 period. OptaAnalyst shows he played mostly on the left side then, but this season he's pushed way up the pitch as a more advanced player. tbh it makes you wonder if the non-signing of Julian Alvarez is what cooked the scenario for his best form yet. we'll see if that roster shift actually triggers the best version of him or if it's just chaos.
