Key strength: Cutting inside
Inside forward
In a difficult campaign for Rayo Vallecano, languishing in 18th place, 23-year-old Fran Pérez has emerged as one of the few bright sparks at Vallecas. The Spanish right winger has found the net 6 times in 30 league appearances this season—an impressive return of a goal every 252 minutes from his 1,511 total minutes on the pitch. Operating primarily as an inside forward, Pérez has become known for his signature move: cutting inside from the right flank to unleash shots on goal. While his assist tally sits at just 1, his direct goal threat offers a vital outlet for a side struggling to stay in the division. With a market value of €3 million, Pérez represents one of Rayo's more valuable assets. His partnership with right-back Andrei Rațiu (68 rated) provides width down that flank, though competition from Jorge de Frutos—the higher-rated 75-rated option in his position—keeps him honest. As Rayo fight to avoid the drop, Pérez's ability to produce in front of goal could be the difference between survival and relegation.
