Key strength: Pace and recovery
Overlapping full-back
At 7th in the La Liga table, Deportivo Alavés are quietly exceeding expectations this season, and within their squad is a young Spanish full-back quietly earning his stripes. Victor Parada, a 23-year-old left-back valued at €2m, has made two appearances totaling 180 minutes this campaign, contributing one crucial assist. Despite FIFA ratings suggesting modest pace (45), Parada compensates with defensive nous—his 55-rated defending and physicality allow him to thrive in an overlapping full-back role. Still raw with a 48 overall rating, he finds himself behind established talents like Antonio Blanco (71) and Carlos Vicente (70) in Luis García's rotation, yet his two yellow cards already demonstrate his competitive edge. For Alavés, these early minutes represent an investment in a homegrown defender who could anchor their flank for years to come.
