#3 Jorge de Frutos and Marcos Llorente

The former Real Madrid man, Jorge de Frutos, only made a handful of appearances for the senior side during his time at the Santiago Bernabeu. He has showed a lot of promise this season for Levante after serving loan spells at Valladolid and Rayo Vallecano.

Frutos has been pretty effective for Levante this season and has scored two goals and picked up five assists from across 19 appearances. The catch though is that he has only started eight of those games.

Meanwhile, Marcos Llorente's transformation from a sporadically effective defensive midfielder to one of the most productive attacking midfielders at Atletico Madrid has been nothing short of sensational. Llorente has been one of Diego Simeone's most reliable players this season.

The 25-year-old has scored six goals and five assists from 18 appearances so far this term.

#2 Angel Correa

That we have three Atletico Madrid players on this list shows why Atletico Madrid are currently on top of the La Liga table and sitting there rather comfortably. The 25-year-old is close to equalling his stats from the 2019-20 season already and we're only halfway through the 2020-21 campaign.

The aggressive winger who loves to drive forward with the ball and take defenders on and beat them has suffered a dip in form over the past month but he was on top of his game prior to that.

Correa has five assists and three goals from 18 appearances in the La Liga this season. He has come off the bench in six of those games. Angel Correa has been at his most productive while operating down the right flank but can occupy a variety of positions thanks to his versatility.

#1 Iago Aspas

The Spanish veteran striker has been consistently good for Celta Vigo over the past few seasons and he has kept at this term as well. He is one of the main reasons why they are currently sitting in the top half of the table after just about surviving relegation in the 2019-20 campaign.

Aspas has, in fact, been one of the best players in the La Liga this term. Aside from his goalscoring ability, he has elevated his playmaking levels as well. Iago Aspas heads the list for most assists so far this season after having set up six goals in addition to scoring nine for Eduardo Coudet's side in the La Liga.
