This guy's case is really fascinating. He's one of those 'underdogs' players who rarelly gets attention, even among his own team (Michu, Tito, Casado or Diego Costa have just stolen the show this season). But he provides the team with a certain kind of balance and good game vision in midfield... that just dissapears when he's not around. I mean, Rayo had a magnificent run in january and february (it even looked like they could get an european spot), then Javi Fuego got injured. He missed seven matches, and they lost the seven matches. You could see how important he's been for them precisely when he's not been on the field. If I'm not mistaken his contract just expires this summer, and no wonder why several teams will try to sign him for next season.
So, regarding his current set. I think he needs quite an upgrade, mainly in DEF and Teamwork. I see him well on greens for DEF, and maybe a bit higher on ATT too (not greens but almost). Regarding Teamwork, easily a mid yellow (84, 85 maybe). And Mentality could use a raise too, deserves to be over 80 IMO.
On the other hand, he's not this fast nor agile.
Regarding stars and cards, no need for Middle Shooting nor Long Ranger. Also have doubts about Playmaking... but maybe we could leave Talisman in. Enforcer and Covering should be added too.
