Gustavo Cabral enjoyed a good game for Celta de Vigo

Centre back - Unai Nunez (Athletic Bilbao)

The absence of Yeray raised big questions ahead of Athletic Bilbao’s league season, but 20-year-old centre back Unai Nunez has stepped up to the plate in quite impressive fashion. Against Girona, the youngster had the physical frame to deal with Christian Stuani, as well as the ability to read the game to deal with the pace of Portu. He appears to be a very well-rounded defender indeed.

Centre back - Gustavo Cabral (Celta de Vigo)

Celta Vigo broke their duck at the weekend, picking up their first win of the campaign at Alaves’ expense, with a clean sheet the icing on the cake for La Celeste. Cabral was at the heart of it at Balaidos, as his robust and physical style ensured that the likes of Bojan and Munir had little chance unless they received the ball to feet.
