With just weeks left for the La Liga season 2015-16, we thought we should have a look at the best football players that are currently present in the Spanish Football League La Liga and thus have a look at top 5 players to watch out for in La Liga 2015-16.
5) Diego Alves
Diego Alves
One of the best Goal Keeper present in La Liga presently, Diego Alves is the best defence that Valencia has at the moment. Though Valencia’s defence did little to help Alves last season, the Brazilian was at his best even though he was in the thick of things. Alves played as many games as Bravo last season, but he faced 30 more shots that Bravo and also faced much higher penalty kicks than Bravo. Going into the new season, keep an eye out for Alves as he might just again turn out to be the game changer for Valencia, provided he gets good team support.
4) James Rodriguez
James Rodriguez
Colombian James Rodriguez was pitted against the best of the best in the world last year and even though Rodriguez failed to make mark in Copa America earlier this year, his presence in 2014 FIFA World Cup is something many still remember. Being constantly plagued by injuries last season Rodriguez was not able to do much for Real Madrid and thus would be looking to get back in form and make a dominating comeback in La Liga 2015-16.
3) Claudio Bravo
Claudio Bravo
If Alves was Valencia’s best defence last season, Chile’s Claudio Bravo was the wall of Barcelona in La Liga 2014-15. As the best goalkeeper in the Spanish league today, Bravo would be even formidable this season especially considering the fact that he just helped Chile wins their first Copa America championship after helping FC Barcelona win not only the La Liga Title but also the UEFA Champions League 2015 trophy. If there is one person who can stop Real Madrid’s on slot in La Liga 2015-16, then that is Claudio Bravo in FC Barcelona’s goal post.
2) Luis Suarez
Luis Suarez
While his transfer from English Premier League’s Liverpool FC to Spain’s FC Barcelona might have created waves for all the wrong reasons last season, especially looking at the now infamous World Cup biting incidence. Uruguayan Luis Suarez since then has remained out of controversy and with his performance for FC Barcelona last season has been able to win many of his fans back and thousand more to that list. His transfer turned out to be the difference that Barcelona needed last season to turn into a formidable team as Suarez not only scored critical goals, but also ranked third in the list of assists for La Liga season 2014-15.
