LaLiga 2019/2020: Ranking the top 10 playmakers in the league this season

#9 Brais Mendez (Celta Vigo)

RC Celta de Vigo v Real Madrid CF - La Liga

Brais Mendez is a 22-year-old winger who currently stars for Celta Vigo in the Primera Division (or LaLiga as it is more commonly known).

He made his debut for the senior team in September 2017, and has since then gone on to establish himself as an integral member of the team, making 20 appearances in his first full season with the club and 31 in his second season.

Mendez is primarily deployed on the right-wing, but his versatility means he can play almost anywhere in attack including attacking midfield, and he starred with seven goals and six assists last season as Celta Vigo narrowly avoided the drop.

#8 Koke (Atletico Madrid)

Club Atletico de Madrid v Real Valladolid CF - La Liga

Koke has been with Atletico Madrid since 2000, having joined the side's academy aged eight, and progressed through the ranks until making his senior debut in 2009.

He became a mainstay in the side in the 2011/2012 season upon the appointment of Diego Simeone, and played a major role in the club's Europa League and UEFA Super Cup success that term.

Further accomplishments and accolades have followed since then, and the 27-year-old has gone on to become an established international with the Spanish national team.

Koke is acclaimed for his passing ability and has drawn praise from a lot of his peers including the legendary Xavi who called him the future of the Spanish national team.

Though his attacking outputs might be limited due to the ultra defensive nature of Simeone's tactics, it takes nothing away from the brilliance Koke exudes in the middle of the park.
