#2 Daniel Parejo (Valencia)

Atletico Madrid v Valencia - La Liga — Daniel Parejo has been in stunning form for Valencia this season

Valencia have been in very good form this season and the man key to their resurgence has been their captain, Daniel Parejo. The 28-year-old midfielder has been in fine form for Los Che and he has run the game from midfield with his brilliant passing and ball retention skills.

A former Real Madrid youth product, Parejo first made a name for himself at Getafe before establishing himself at Valencia. Known for his set-piece taking abilities, Parejo has run the show from midfield and has already contributed 6 goals and 6 assists in this season so far.

Valencia have a real chance of finishing above Real Madrid this season and their captain, Daniel Parejo will be hoping that his team and himself continue this good form and seal Champions League qualification for next season.
