LaLiga Fantasy Dream Team

There are only nine matchdays to go before the Liga BBVA season comes to a close, which means the business end of the campaign is upon us. That holds true for LaLiga Fantasy too: now is the time to get some extra points under your belt and leave your rivals in your wake.

To help you in your cause, we've recapped the Dream Team from all the action up to this juncture. In other words, the line-up that would have netted you the highest possible number of points, which are calculated using 100% objective in-play scoring based on official LaLiga statistics.

The king between the sticks is Villarreal CF goalkeeper Alphonse Areola. The young French custodian has been one of the revelations of the season, offering a confident, assured presence in goal for Marcelino's side. Areola has already racked up 154 points, thanks in no small part to the 74 saves he has made.

The defence has Atletico Madrid written all over it. The three-man unit is made up of Rojiblancos trio Juanfran Torres (172 points), Diego Godin (168) and Filipe Luis (180), all of whom combine defensive solidity with the ability to make their mark in attack.

Another Atletico player, Koke, is the main man in midfield, having compiled 266 points. He is joined by RCD Espanyol's Marco Asensio (214), Athletic Club's Beñat (236) and UD Las Palmas's Jonathan Viera (227).

Last but not least, the strike force boasts plenty of star appeal: Lionel Messi leads the line (232 points) alongside Cristiano Ronaldo (285) and Neymar (356). Besides the fact that they've bagged 69 goals between them, all three provide flair and creativity in abundance.
