• Munir El Haddadi
• Luuk de Jong

Likely to score:

• For Espanyol: Wu Lei, Facundo Ferreyra
• For Sevilla: Lucas Ocampos, Luuk de Jong

Captain and Vice-Captain Option:

Facundo Ferreyra: The 28-year-old Argentine arrived from Benfica last season and featured mostly from the bench. But with star striker Borja Iglesias expected to leave for Real Betis, Ferreyra now has the chance to make the forward position his own. He has the pace and technical ability to be a success.

Wu Lei: The first-ever Chinese to play in La Liga. He has had a decent start to his career in Spain, impressing in the limited opportunity he got.

Last season:

• Games: 12
• Goals: 03
• Assists: 01

Marc Roca and Sergi Darder: Much of Espanyol’s power is in their midfield, with the likes of Marc Roca, and Sergi Darder pulling the string.

Roca is still young and will only improve, while Darder is reaching his prime and already showed last season that he can be pretty influential on the field.

Lucas Ocampos: Following the less than impressive 2018-19 season, Sevilla dug deep into the transfer for the fresh blood with Lucas Ocampos being one of the new arrivals.

The 25-year-old is a very wily customer, often drifting back into the midfield to dictate things. He has goals in him as well.

Last season (With Marseille):

• Games: 38
• Goals: 05
• Assists: 07

Luuk de Jong: he arrived in La Liga with a reputation of being a very good poacher. But he is more than that tag, for his hold up play and ability in the air, all these qualities making him a very very dangerous player.

Last season (With PSV Eindhoven)

• Games: 40
• Goals: 31
• Assists: 06

Suggested combination:

SEV vs ESP Dream11 Prediction winner:
Considering both Espanyol and Sevilla finished 7th and 6th respectively last season, there’s not much to differentiate between these two teams.

A draw looks a good call.
