Álex Sancris

Key strength: Pace and dribbling

Wide creator

In a Getafe side defying all expectations and sitting 2nd in the table with genuine title aspirations, Álex Sancris is the quiet craftsman behind their remarkable campaign. The 29-year-old Spanish right winger won't set pulses racing with his modest pace, but José Bordalás trusts him implicitly—19 appearances and 919 minutes this season prove his reliability in a squad navigating a WLWDL form line. With 1 goal and 2 assists, Sancris won't dominate highlight reels, yet his role as Getafe's designated 'wide creator' is indispensable. While teammates like Juan Iglesias patrol the flank behind him and Borja Mayoral leads the line, Sancris links play with intelligent positioning, keeps possession ticking in tight spaces, and provides a composed outlet when defensive organization shifts to attack. Valued at a modest €2 million, he embodies the squad-player archetype executed to perfection. In an era obsessed with speed merchants and marquee signings, Sancris reminds us that not every winger needs to be a superstar—sometimes, you just need a craftsman with purposeful legs and a clear footballing brain. As Getafe navigate their improbable title charge, his steady presence on the right wing keeps their dream alive.
