Barcelona SC would turn to a fresh front three against Técnico Universitario, with César Farías betting on Jandry Gómez, Sergio "Toto" Núñez and Wila to lead the attack in the latest LigaPro matchday. The reported plan points to a side trying to find goals again as it looks to get back to winning ways.
The possible XI, reported by Juan Francisco Rueda during the latest training sessions, would have José Contreras in goal; Carabalí, Báez, Rangel and Vallecilla across the back; Lugo, Céliz and Quiñónez in midfield; and Gómez, Núñez and Wila as the forward line. It is a direct attempt to sharpen Barcelona SC's attack at a time when every point matters in the fight for the top places in LigaPro.
That also puts the spotlight on Núñez, who had played 7 LigaPro matches and scored 1 goal at the time of the report. He has continued to receive coaching support, but his adaptation to Ecuadorian football has moved in fits and starts, leaving Barcelona SC still waiting for a more reliable return from the striker.
Gómez brings a different layer to the decision. He is viewed inside the club as one of the prospects with the most projection in the squad, yet there are no formal offers for him and no advanced talks for a transfer, which keeps him available as Barcelona SC tries to solve an immediate need rather than plan for a sale.
For now, the key question is whether Farías will stick with that attacking trio when Barcelona SC faces Técnico Universitario and whether the gamble produces the lift the club needs. The lineup points to urgency, not comfort, and the result will tell whether this was the right moment to lean on youth, pace and a striker still searching for a second league goal.
