Claudio Bravo -
Only played in 2 of the friendlies but will be my number one goalie throughout the season, definitely a top class player.
Average Rating: 6.85

Enaut Zubikarai -
Second choice goalie; played three of the friendlies but is unlikely to challange Bravo for a place as number one goalie.
Average Rating: 6.80

Alberto de la Belle -
A great pre-season for the full back who got the highest average rating in the squad and will definitely be first choice left back throughout the season, and will hopefully continue on his good form.

Looked good throughout pre-season in the 5 games he played, will definitely partner Inigo Martinez at the back this season.

Inigo Martinez -
Solid pre-season and good to have 5 games next to Gaztanaga who will be his partner at the back. Definitely first choice centre back this year and in the future.

Average Rating: 6.70
View attachment 349341
Sergio Canales -
Was expecting much more from Canales this pre-season, one of the best players at the club but his starting place could be in jeopardy.
Average Rating: 6.64

Antoine Griezmann -
I am very disappointed in his performances during pre-season, he only started two games but he still should have performed much better. Could lose his starting spot on the first game of the season.

David Faupala -
Youth signing this season as a free transfer (I forgot to announce it, sorry), only came on as a sub once but scored a goal and might feature in cup games.
Average Rating: 7.40

Imanol Igarretxe -
2 goals in 4 games in pre-season isn't too bad, will be a starter for the side but needs to beware of Hernandez and Steferovic.

Haris Steferovic -
Decent in pre-season and could definitely challenged Agirretxe for a first team spot as he has lots of potential
