Players to Watch

Abel Ruiz (Girona)

Abel Ruiz is a typical forward who is a poacher and can score goals from inside the box. Even though his ariel ability is poor and still needs work, he is capable of scoring from both feet which can be counted as a plus point. He is also a decent dribbler who can create spaces for himself to score.

Ruiz has not been very consistent this season. However the player has a lot of quality in him and is capable of making a difference on the pitch.

Alvaro Garcia (Rayo Vallecano)

Alvaro Garcia is a very experienced player and also a fan favourite. He is short in stature but has really good technical skills which makes him special. With his trickery, he can beat opponents.

His crossing and passing abilities are also his strong points. Garcia is a team player who is not selfish in front of the goal and likes to help out his teammates in defence.
