Federico Valverde

Valverde remains one of Real Madrid's most dependable players and his versatility to play right-back or midfield has made him vital to the squad. He made 36 appearances last season, contributing six goals and four assists, numbers that shouldn't change much year over year. Valverde's work rate on both ends of the pitch should him locked into the starting XI despite a new manager and the addition of Trent Alexander-Arnold. He's also been remarkably durable, featuring in at least 31 matches each season since 2021/22.
