Key strength: Aerial dominance
Defensive anchor
At the bottom of the table and fighting for survival, Real Oviedo find themselves in a precarious 20th position, desperately seeking stability at the back. Enter Dani Calvo, the 31-year-old Spanish centre-back whose aerial dominance and defensive anchor presence could prove vital in their relegation battle. Though limited to just 2 appearances (180 minutes) this season, Calvo brings experience and physicality when called upon. With a €1 million market value, he represents a calculated investment in defensive depth. As Oviedo look to turn their season around, Calvo's ability to win headers and organize the backline offers manager Quique Setién a reliable option alongside higher-profile teammates like David Carmo. In a campaign where every point matters, the veteran defender's composure could be the difference between survival and the drop.
