Villarreal's top scorer this season, Gerard Moreno, has been the Yellow Submarine's shining light this season. A forward who is quite adept in doing almost anything, Moreno is finally replicating what he did for Espanyol in La Liga before joining Villarreal.

The 27-year-old Spanish forward has been playing like a man on a mission and with the UEFA Euro 2020 coming up, he needs to keep his run going as he might just find a spot in Spain's international team. This season in the Spanish top-flight, Moreno has scored 10 goals and assisted a further 3.

The Spaniard's form will define whether Villarreal will get a top-four spot or not and right now, they are just two points off the Champions League spots.


3. Maxi Gomez

Valencia's new signing from last summer, Maxi Gomez has wasted no time as the young Uruguayan has set the world alight with his performances for the Los Ches.

Joining from Celta Vigo - for whom Gomez scored 30 goals in two La Liga seasons - the 23-year-old is someone who can play anywhere in the front three. He is quick, agile, brilliant on the ball, and has the knack of finding himself in goalscoring situations.

The Uruguayan has already scored 9 goals in La Liga this season and provided two assists. Valencia are currently chasing the Champions League spots and Gomez's goals will be very important for that chase.
