La Liga: Highest Paid Teams in 2018-19

#16 Getafe CF

The Getafe squad is filled with a lot of very talented players, but they have failed to click as a team.

Getafe sits 16th on our rankings, with their average pay per player coming out to be $915,130 per annum. The Madrid club currently sits at 12th in the league standings with 17 points to their name. They have been flying below the radar so far this season as much was expected of them after their red-hot form in preseason.

#15 SD Eibar

The Eibar squad is filled with lots of young talent, some from other clubs on loan, and some produced from the club's academy.

Eibar was the latest team to pile on Real Madrid's misery as they slashed through the European Champions 3-0 at the Ipurua. Currently, they sit at 10th in the league standings with 18 points after 13 games, only behind Levante on goal difference. The average pay for an Eibar player is $950,337, but the tactics that the team plays with enables them to take on any side on their day, as their calculated pressing system could harass any midfield they want to.

#14 Girona CF

Girona was taken over by the Ethiad group a while back, and work in tandem with parent club Manchester City.

Giron currently sit 7th in the league, level on points and goal difference with the mighty Real Madrid, with 20 points after 13 league ties played. Girona has been red hot this year, with Christan Stuani scoring 10 goals so far, making him the leader of the Pichichi race ahead of Lionel Messi & Andre Silva. Girona has an average pay of $974,520 PA per player and playing like a much better team than their budget reflects so far this season.

#13 Deportivo Alaves

Alaves has been the surprise package of the season so far, earning wins over Real Madrid, Sociedad, Celta Vigo to name a few.

CD Alaves currently sits at 13th in our rankings, with an Alaves player earning nearly $1,048,133 per annum. The minnows are way ahead of where their financial status should allow them to be, currently sitting in 4th in the league table, 3 points above European Champs Real Madrid, and just 2 behind defending champions Barcelona. They are 3 points from the summit of Spanish football, and if they continue like this, this season could be the most memorable one in their history.
