Rafita Garrido
21-Year-Old
Málaga
La Liga
2026 Fantasy Outlook
Rafita was part of the Malaga side that won promotion to La Liga in 2025/26, featuring at left-back as a young, homegrown defender. The step up to the top flight is a significant one, and for a promoted side likely to battle near the bottom, clean sheets, the core of a defender's fantasy value, will be hard to come by. He offers energy and some willingness to get forward but limited end product. His minutes depend on holding off competition for the spot. He is a deep-league option at best, one to monitor to see if he establishes himself as a regular starter, but not a player to target in standard formats given Malaga's likely defensive struggles.
Returns in friendly
Rafita (hamstring) featured in Thursday's 4-2 friendly win over Al-Arabi, confirming he is back fit, according to the club.
ANALYSIS
Rafita had been recovering from a right hamstring injury and working in the gym separately from the squad, and his involvement in this match now confirms that recovery process is complete. He made 28 LaLiga2 appearances last season, contributing one assist across 2,349 minutes as a regular in the back line, and his return positions him to compete for a starting role heading into the new 2026/27 La Liga season.
