Carlos Álvarez

Key strength: Vision and passing

Creative playmaker

Deep in the throes of La Liga's relegation mire, 22-year-old Carlos Álvarez carries the weight of Levante UD's survival hopes on his shoulders. With his club anchored in 18th place and reeling from a recent LWWWL run that has them teetering above the drop zone, the €15m-rated Spanish winger has emerged as their most precious asset—and their brightest spark. Wearing the number 24 shirt, Álvarez has contributed 3 goals and 1 assist across 27 appearances this season, logging 1,886 minutes of action. But his true value lies beyond the raw numbers. Operating as a creative playmaker who drifts menacingly inside from the right flank, the 73-rated talent leverages his standout 64 vision and passing ability to unlock stubborn defenses, threading dangerous balls through for a struggling attack. In a squad where he towers above teammates like 53-rated Matías Moreno and 50-rated Adrián Dela, Álvarez isn't merely Levante's best player—he's their survival strategy incarnate. Remarkably, he's maintained composure amid the chaos: just two yellow cards in high-stakes relegation football means he's always available when Levante need him most. For a historic club fighting to preserve its top-flight status, Álvarez represents both present hope and future promise.
