Diego Lopez

Lopez took another step forward last season, scoring eight goals to go with five assists, a jump in four goal contributions. The overall volume was similar to 2023/24, as he created 38 chances and took 44 shots, but his efficiency was a touch better. The problem is that he scored eight goals from 14 shots on target, a seemingly unrealistic conversion rate. Lopez should remain the top choice on the left wing heading into the 2025/26 campaign with double-digit goal contribution expectations. If Valencia can take a step forward with some new attacking signings, there's a chance for Lopez to push past 15 goal contributions even without a role on set pieces.
