Club: Almeria
Stats: 1,160 minutes, 14 matches, 1 goal, 1 assist
Brief summary: Almeria are doing well in La Liga 2, sitting in third place. Akieme has played a huge role in their success, being a regular starter. The left-back's first match at his new club was a real roller-coaster, as he scored a goal but got sent off in the 57th minute.
Club: Real Betis
Stats: 427 minutes, 7 matches, 1 goal and 1 assist
Brief summary: It took Miranda a while to adapt at the club but now he's doing better than he did at Schalke 04 last season. Besides playing regularly in the last few weeks, the La Masia graduate has also scored his first professional goal recently.
Club: Benfica
Stats: 0 matches
Brief summary: The Frenchman picked up an injury soon after moving to Portugal, so he missed the first few months. He's recovered now, but as Benfica's coach Jorge Jesus has said not long ago, Todibo isn't ready to play.
Club: Real Betis
Stats: 1,009 minutes, 15 matches
Brief summary: Just like the previous season, Emerson is a key player for Los Beticos. Unfortunately, he hasn't had as much luck in terms of goals and assists. The Brazilian is finally expected to join Barcelona next summer.
Club: PAOK
Stats: 521 minutes, 12 matches, 0 goals, 1 assist.
Brief summary: The Senegalese right-back didn't start too well in Greece but started getting more and more playing time as the season progressed. Unfortunately, he suffered a horrible injury which will keep him sidelined for the rest of the season. He's currently in Barcelona undergoing his recovery.
Club: Girona
Stats: 1,370 minutes, 18 matches, 1 goal, 1 assist
Brief summary: Monchu has been a key player for Girona this season, missing only two matches so far — one through suspension and one because the Catalans got an easy draw in the cup. He's started in all but two matches.
Club: Osnabruck
Stats: 642 minutes, 11 matches, 0 goals, 0 assists
Brief summary: The Dutchman started in eight of Osnabruck's 11 matches this season so far, so it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he's been a pretty important player. However, his team isn't doing that well in 2.Bundeslinga, as they sit in 9th place.
