Key strength: Work rate
Box-to-box midfielder
At rock-bottom of the Segunda División, Levante UD's survival fight has reached desperation point—four straight defeats finally gave way to a solitary draw that offers only faint hope. Yet in this grim tableau, Jon Ander Olasagasti stands as the team's creative heartbeat, a metronomic presence trying to orchestrate salvation from the midfield mire. The 25-year-old Basque has been virtually ever-present this season, logging 952 minutes across 24 appearances with remarkable discipline—just one yellow card to his name. His modest return of 1 goal and 2 assists conceals his true worth; with 57-rated passing vision, Olasagasti threads the defense-splitting balls that feed Levante's higher-rated attackers like 73-rated Carlos Álvarez. Valued at €1.8m, he embodies the understated craftsmanship that relegation battles demand—a playmaker whose every carefully weighted pass could be the lifeline that keeps Levante's second-tier dreams alive.
