Five players to watch in Liga BBVA Matchday 16

Abdennour (Valencia CF)

Strong and determined. So is the center back of Valencia CF. Alongside Mustafi forms one of the most solid defensive central pairs of Liga BBVA. The Tunisian has already proved that is very tough to overcome in the air and in the one on one. Speed is not one of his best virtues, but he makes up with his strength and his sense of anticipation.

Amrabat (Málaga CF)

Is one of the players that best protect the ball in Liga BBVA.  He can perfectly manage the game with his back to the goal and has a strong solid shot. Now his time has come and Málaga needs him. The Andalusian club signed the first away win of the season against Rayo Vallecano and it is time to continue growing with Amrabat as a reference.

Faycal Fajr (RC Deportivo)

He arrived at RC Deportivo this season and has become a fixture for Víctor Sánchez del Amo. His physical characteristics and versatility are helping him to be part of a "Blanquiazul" side that has started the season at an exceptional level.

Denis Suárez (Villarreal CF)

Nerve and boldness. The Galician midfielder is a wildcard for Marcelino Garcia Toral. He can play inside and outside. He can play as a playmaker but also on the wing. One on one is his best quality. Despite he didn't start the season in the regular starting lineup, has earned the trust of his coach and will be one of the players to watch in Liga BBVA matchday 16.

Godin (Atlético de Madrid)

The Uruguayan center back is one of the best players of Liga BBVA in the heading game. Both in attack and defense.  Apart from being a safe at the back has scored important goals in his career through the competition. In this course, he opened his tally against Granada CF and is being, again, essential for Simeone. Has played the 15 games of the 15 matchdays played.
