Real Valladolid - Oscar Plano

Under Sergio González Soriano's management, Real Valladolid have impressed significantly this season and a lot of their good performances are down to the displays of Oscar Plano.

The 28-year-old has been exquisite in his role as an attacking midfielder for Los Pucelanos, scoring three goals and assisting one from seven matches thus far. Having netted in injury time against Espanyol, Plano would be hoping to add to his tally against Diego Simeone's men.

Atletico Madrid - Joao Felix

While he might not exactly have shattered the earth with his performances since arriving Spain for a club-record fee, Portuguese teenage sensation Joao Felix has played a key role in Atletico Madrid's solid start to the season.

The former Benfica man opened his tally with the first goal against Eibar on matchday 3 but waited until matchday 6 to get his second when he scored with a deflected volley against Real Mallorca.

In Atletico's last match against Lokomotiv Moscow, Felix grabbed the opening goal in the 48th minute and he would fancy his chances of continuing his scoring streak against Valladolid.
