Jon Moncayola

Key strength: Work rate

Box-to-box midfielder

While CA Osasuna's European dream teeters on the brink amid a devastating five-match losing streak, one constant remains in the storm: Jon Moncayola. The 28-year-old Navarre native has been the beating heart of Jagoba Arrasate's side, logging an incredible 2,443 minutes across 30 La Liga appearances—testament to both his durability and indispensability. Clinging to 6th place by a thread, Osasuna's number 7 has quietly orchestrated proceedings from deep, his metronomic passing yielding 4 assists as he supplies creative sparks like Aimar Oroz. Moncayola's game defies modern football's obsession with pace; with just 52 pace and 53 physicality, he instead weaponizes football intelligence—his 60-rated passing vision controlling tempo while his 9 yellow cards reveal the competitive fire beneath his composed exterior. Valued at €7 million, this homegrown product embodies everything Osasuna represents. As the club fights to arrest their slide and salvage their continental ambitions, Moncayola offers the one certainty in these turbulent times: when he plays, the engine keeps running.
