An insight into the tactics and key players in the upcoming LALIGA EA SPORTS matches for matchday 12 featuring Bellingham, Isco, and Riquelme.

LALIGA EA SPORTS returns for another weekend of excitement after Real Madrid and Barcelona treated the world to an enthralling time the last time.

With matchday 12 on the horizon, here is a quick look at some of the top performers and key tactical insights to prep you for the action-packed fixtures. 

Isco’s Contributions

This Isco remontada at Real Betis has surprised everyone but Real Betis remain the biggest winner in the league.

The former Real Madrid star stands out as the third-best player for key passes in the league. Isco has also been impressive with his passes into the box, forward passes, successful dribbles and his ability to draw fouls.

All these have combined to not only enhance Real Betis’ options but also make them an enjoyable team to watch.

Rodrigo Riquelme: Atletico superstar

Atletico Madrid’s latest sensation, Rodrigo Riquelme, has caught attention this season with his display for the former champions.

Riquelme is representing that name very well and making a name for himself with his goalscoring abilities and dribbling skills.

With an average of 5.9 dribbles per 90 minutes, the 23-year-old Spaniard ranks in the 10 top for dribbles in LALIGA and third in his club.

Bellingham’s Dominance

Real Madrid’s rising star, Jude Bellingham, has been undoubtedly the player of the season so far in the LALIGA.

Bellingham currently leads the scoring charts with 10 goals and an extraordinary shot conversion rate of 41% in the division.

The 20-year-old is the league’s top performer in high-impact attacking actions, with his key passes and attempts on goal making him a significant asset for Real Madrid as was the case in the last weekend’s El Clasico.

Despite the fact he is ranked third for attempts on target, Bellingham is not in the top 25 for attempts in LALIGA this season.

Simeone’s Atletico Madrid

Diego Simeone’s side is looking good this season having gone nine matches without defeat across all competitions.

Renowned for their high-intensity football which has seen them win six in six, Atletico sit fourth for high-impact carries per LALIGA Hub.

This season in the LALIGA, Atletico are dangerous and need just 4.7 attempts to score a goal, combining efficiency with high performance.

Atletico’s displays have earned them the third spot on the table, with just three points between them and joint-leaders, Real Madrid and Girona. 

Real Sociedad Efficiency

Real Sociedad have carved a reputation for themselves as they are known for their positional play.

Sadiq Umar is back and better for Real Sociedad.

This style has helped Nigeria’s Sadiq Umar and his teammates to excel in utilising width during possession, covering an impressive 1,147 meters in the attacking phase.

La Real require just 6.3 attempts to score, demonstrating an efficiency in fron of the goal that will surely give defending champions, Barcelona, problems when they arrive San Sabestian this weekend.
