Unai Elgezabal

Key strength: Aerial dominance

Defensive anchor

At 32 years old, Unai Elgezabal stands as a battle-hardened sentinel in Levante's desperate fight against relegation. With the Granotes languishing in 19th position, the Spanish centre-back has emerged as one of the few reliable figures in their campaign. His 13 appearances and 1023 minutes this season tell a story of dependability—Elgezabal has been the defensive anchor his team desperately needs. What catches the eye is his unexpected offensive output: 2 goals and 1 assist from the backline showcase aerial dominance that makes him a genuine threat at set pieces. At €700,000 market value, he represents experienced value—a player who doesn't make rash decisions (just 2 yellow cards, zero reds) and understands the grind of a relegation scrap. While teammates like Iván Romero carry higher profiles, it's Elgezabal's calm, physical presence and 55 defending rating that Levante will lean on as they battle to escape the drop zone. His defensive positioning and 55 physicality make him the reliable last line in turbulent times.
