Midfielders
#6 Samu Castillejo (Villarreal)
After last season was interrupted by plenty of niggling injuries for the ex-Malaga wide man, Samu Castillejo appears to be fighting fit and raring to impress in 2017/2018. Against Astana in midweek he starred for Villarreal, and he brought that momentum into the weekend.
Full of tricks, flicks and the confidence to beat players, the Spaniard looks to be set for a very entertaining season indeed. He can only improve as the understanding in Fran Escriba's front line develops.
#7 Andres Guardado (Real Betis)
The Mexico international is Quique Setien's go-to man in midfield under the new Betis regime, and has already got his eye in for the odd assist.
Joaquin's second goal for the home side against Deportivo was crafted by the ex-PSV midfielder, and he has returned to LaLiga with confidence and an assurance to his play.
#8 Jurado (Espanyol)
While Espanyol sat in deep and attempted to protect their 2-0 lead over Celta Vigo, Quique Sanchez Flores needed a way for his back four to have some respite. The away side dominated possession, with La Celeste sitting back and biding their time to break.
Jurado was a key asset for this role, with the ex-Watford wide man haring upfield with regularity holding possession. He bought his teammates time to regroup, as well as asking Celta's full-backs plenty of questions too.
