The Spaniard missed the last two games of the month due to a combination of suspension and selection decisions. However, De Tomas was prudent enough in April, scoring twice in four games. Unfortunately, it looks like it might not be enough to save his team from relegation as Rayo Vallecano are six points away from safety at 19th place in the table with three games remaining.
De Tomas scored in the win over Valencia and in the defeat against Athletic Bilbao as his team lost three of the six games in April, winning twice and drawing the other. The Spaniard now has 14 goals from 30 games and has climbed up in this list only by virtue of a better goals per game ratio. De Tomas is averaging a goal every 182 minutes played and also has one assist to his name in the league. He has registered 86 shots so far – only Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez have more – and 45 of those have been on target.

About the author
Deepungsu Pandit
Deepungsu is a veteran football journalist who has been covering daily transfer roundups and news for over six years at Sportskeeda. He has written close to 9000 articles for the website, and has garnered over 19.5Million reads.
Deepungsu holds a PG degree in Microbiology and an MBA degree in Total Quality Management. He has an extensive two-decade long writing experience, which includes a decade of sports blogging. His writing prowess has even led his work getting cited on the legendary Franz Beckenbauer's Wikipedia page.
Inspired by Diego Maradona, Deepungsu played as an attacking midfielder for his local club at subdivision level in his initial years and scored an important goal or two. However, his all-time favorite footballer is Lionel Messi, and evidently, he feels Argentina's glory in 2022 is his favorite FIFA World Cup moment for fulfilling his long-standing dream. He is also an ardent East Bengal fan.
Deepungsu has been a Manchester United supporter since the year 2000. Unsurprisingly, his favorite manager is Sir Alex Ferguson and the Scotsman helped him get through some of the toughest days of his life. Like the fiery Scot, Deepungsu also leaves no stone unturned when it comes to accuracy in articles and only relies on credible sources.
Despite believing in Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland to create an iconic rivalry, Deepungsu reckons no one can match the longevity of Messi and Ronaldo. He spends his leisure time writing about life on his blog, reading books, and playing the guitar.
