These are the 10 players who have gone down to Second and who should continue in First
-Joselu: The 33-year-old Spanish forward was one of the best forwards of the season in LaLiga. He scored 16 goals and dished out two assists in 34 games. He is close to becoming a new Real Madrid player on loan.
–Sergi Darder: The experienced Spanish midfielder would be an ideal reinforcement for any team due to his long career in first division and impressive performance, despite Espanyol’s relegation. He scored six goals and dished out four assists in 38 LaLiga games.
-Javi Puado: The Spanish winger was one of Espanyol’s most important players. He has scored seven goals and distributed two goals in 37 games played this season. A more than interesting attacker for any mid-table team in LaLiga.
–Cesar Montes: The Mexican central defender was one of the best players in his position in LaLiga, despite the team’s general malfunction. He scored three goals in 20 games, more than impressive numbers given that he arrived in the winter transfer window from Monterrey.
-Lucas Boyé: The Argentine forward lowered his level compared to previous seasons, but he had a more than interesting performance and several important LaLiga teams are following him. He scored seven goals and dished out three assists in 35 games.
-Edgar Badia: Despite Elche’s defensive problems, Édgar Badía showed a very high performance under the three sticks. He kept a clean sheet in 4 of 36 games. A complicated context, but proving to have conditions to continue in first.
–Gonzalo Plata: The Ecuadorian arrived in the summer from Sporting CP permanently and his performance was sensational despite the relegation of Real Valladolid. He had seven assists in 34 games. An unbalancing footballer with many conditions.
-Tete Morente: The extreme marked the difference in the most complicated contexts. He scored four goals in 32 games. An interesting and versatile profile for any top team.
-Gerard Gumbau: The Spanish midfielder stood out for his defensive qualities and his offensive contribution to a low-level Elche since the start of the season. He scored one goal and distributed six assists in 35 games played.
-Ivan Fresneda: The full-back was promoted to the first team and his performance has impacted the whole world.
