As Paris Saint-Germain kicks off its season, clear trends are emerging: some players are gaining ground while others are falling behind.

The squad dynamic is shifting under Luis Enrique, who claims to want to rely on all his players. However, certain choices in formations highlight those who are struggling. The recent narrow win against Girona (1-0) in the Champions League revealed weaknesses within the team.


Despite securing three points, the performance fell short of expectations, especially when compared to their more controlled Ligue 1 matches. The lack of offensive sharpness is concerning, particularly the absence of a true striker.

Kolo Muani as the Third Choice

With Gonçalo Ramos expected to return by mid-November, he is seen as a potential solution, leaving Randal Kolo Muani as the third option behind Marco Asensio. Meanwhile, Barcola has also shown signs of slowing down over the past two matches. Young player Désiré Doué may see increased playing time as a result.

The midfield has underperformed, with Fabian Ruiz at risk of losing his spot unless his form improves. Kang In Lee could capitalize on this, alongside Warren Zaïre Emery, who is also experiencing a dip in performance.

Lastly, key players like Marquinhos and Achraf Hakimi have been too quiet and are expected to step up to guide the younger players on the squad.
