Nahuel Tenaglia

Key strength: Pace and recovery

Overlapping full-back

At 29, Nahuel Tenaglia has become an ever-present force for Deportivo Alavés, sitting comfortably in 7th position. The Argentine right-back has been an iron man this season—starting all 24 league matches and playing every single minute (2,160), a testament to his durability and importance to the side. Operating as an overlapping full-back, Tenaglia has contributed 1 goal and 1 assist while maintaining defensive discipline with just 4 yellow cards. His €3 million market value reflects steady reliability rather than flash, perfectly suiting Alavés' pragmatic approach. Tenaglia's partnership with right winger Carlos Vicente (70-rated) has been crucial—his overlapping runs create width and opportunities down the flank. In a squad where Toni Martínez and Lucas Boyé lead the attacking line, Tenaglia provides the defensive foundation and pace-driven recovery that allows Alavés to compete in the middle of the table.
