 Goalkeeper Tips 

Kicking of proceedings this week is none other than Real Madrid's Keylor Navas (MondoGoal; N/A, FantasyBet; 6.0m) so far this season the Costa Rican international has been in fine form conceding only two goals. Real Madrid have been solid at the back this season and in his last game against Atletico Madrid Navas saved a penalty. This weekend Madrid will play hosts to Levante a side who haven't scored against Madrid in their previous three meetings. Next up is Getafe's Vicente Guita (MondoGoal; 4.3m, FantasyBet; 4.5m) who is expected to start against Las Palmas this Sunday. The Gran Canarian side have only scored six goals this season, three of which came in a 3-3 draw with Celta Vigo, meanwhile Getafe sit in 14th having kept back to back clean sheets against Getafe and Celta Vigo, games in which the Spaniard was in net. Getafe have also only conceded two goals at the Colisem Alfonso Perez stadium. A statistic they will be looking to keep this weekend.

Defender Tips

The first defensive tip is Jose Gaya (MondoGoal; 8.7m, FantasyBet; 6.0m) who is tipped to be one of the best left backs in Spain. Gaya likes to get forward and deliver a pinpoint cross to his striker. He's an attacking fullback but is also good defensively. He's strong in a tackle � of course this does wonders for his MondoGoal score. He is yet to pick up an assist in the league this season but will be looking to grab his first against Malaga, a side that have only scored three goals this season. Once again we go back to Dani Alves (MondoGoal; 9.7m, FantasyBet; 7.5m) it's astonishing that Barcelona were going to let him leave on a free at the end of the season as he is still one of the best right backs in the world. Of course with the way Barcelona play they like to attack down the wings and in the 433 system this means Alves is going be getting forward a lot and creating a lot of chances He has picked up two assists this season. If you are considering blocking on the Barcelona defence then you should also look at Jordi Alba (MondoGoal; 9.9m, FantasyBet; 7.0m) Deportivo currently sit 6th in the league and are unbeaten in the last three games. Their Brazilian defender Sidnei (MondoGoal; 7.4m, FantasyBet; 4.5m) has been solid at the back this season. He's very good in the air thus providing a threat from set pieces. He has a very good chance of collecting a clean sheet as Athletic Club Bilbao have only scored one goal in their three away games this season. Finally is Heiko Westermann (MondoGoal; 7.7m, FantasyBet; 5.0m) of Real Betis. The Germancan play anywhere across the back line but has been used primarily as a central defender this year. Last gameweek he grabbed his goal of the season in a 2-0 win over Rayo Vallecano. Similar to our previous tip to Sidnei, Westermann provides a danger from set pieces and is cute in a tackle.

Attacking Potential

1. Real Madrid 2. Barcelona 3. Valencia 4. Villareal 5. Sevilla and Real Betis

Midfielder Tips

Oliver Torres (MondoGoal; 6.1m, FantasyBet; 7.0m) has been impressive both the Madrid fans and Diego Simone this season. Although he is yet to get his name on the score sheet he has looked lively and dangerous. As you'd expect with an Atletico player is has bags of creativity about him, one of the biggest strengths of his game is his ability to pick out a pass and execute it with pinpoint precision. This combined with the form of Antoine Griezmann could see the Spanish midfielder collect some assist points on MondoGoal. Wales secured their place in Euro 2016 this past week, and without doubt their most impressive player this qualification campaign has been Gareth Bale (MondoGoal;N/A, FantasyBet; 13.5m) The Welshman has been playing in a new role for Real Madrid occupying the number 10 role behind the striker. This season he has two goals and three assists to his name and with him coming up against the 2nd worst defence in the league he has a great chance to add to his tally. We've also seen Valencia's Daniel Parejo (MondoGoal; 12.1m, FantasyBet; 9.0m) put in some impressive performances of late this season. Despite losing 3-1 to Athletic Club Bilbao in Valencia's last game he picked up a goal. He is a very good passer fo the ball and provides a threat from direct free-kicks. This makes for good reading for MondoGoal players as it gives him even more chance of scoring. His quick feet and clever movement make him a nightmare to mark. Finally Faycal Fajr (MondoGoal; 9.0m, FantasyBet; 5.5m) who has been pulling the strings for Deportivo this season. Now, on paper he only has one assist in the league but after watching him and studying his game this singular number is a little harsh. Fajr is a strong set piece taker and has a fantastic chance of adding to his assist tally from dead ball situations. He's a very creative outlet and part of the reason why Depor have been playing some eye-catching football. This weekend he will come up against an Athletic Club Bilbao side whose defence don't look at all settled.

Forward Tips

It's hard to ignore any Barcelona forward, our tip for this weekend is Neymar (MondoGoal; 15.1m, FantasyBet; 14.0m) the Brazilian forward as four goals to his name in La Liga this season and will be looking to add to his tally against Rayo Vallecano. Paco's side have conceded 12 goals this season whilst on the road they've leaked six goals. Barcelona tend to put a handful of goals past Vallecano scoring 12 in their last two meetings at the Camp Nou. Once again Antoine Griezmann (MondoGoal; 8.9m, FantasyBet; 12.5m) makes our list of players for the weekend. Although he's not been scoring as much as we'd like but he's certainly been showing some fantastic form. He's grabbed three goals and two assist in La Liga but did miss a penalty in his last game against Real Madrid. It's hard to ignore to Frenchman as he is a natural habit of finishing. Nolito (MondoGoal; N/A, FantasyBet; 11.0m) impressed Vicente del Bosque enough to make the Spanish national side in his latest selection. His faith was repaid picking up an assist against Luxembourg. His numbers read five goals and three assists helping him become one of the most impressive players in La Liga this season. He plays as the left winger in Celta's 433 formation and is starting to knock up a partnership with Iago Aspas. Finally is Jese (MondoGoal; N/A, FantasyBet; 7.0m) who looks set to get a run in the Real Madrid in the side due to the injury Karim Benzema suffered on international duty. Jese is likely to play as the lone striker in front of Ronaldo, Bale and Isco � not a bad front three eh! Join us next week for another round of La Liga Fantasy Football Tips.
