The best Comunio / Sofascore players from the newly promoted sides: Racing, Deportivo and Malaga

Players coming up from Segunda usually start the season with affordable prices and some room for revaluation. However, not all of them arrive in Primera with the same guarantees. Offensive output, consistency, set-piece threat and the security of minutes allow us to point to Íñigo Vicente, Yeremay Hernández, Mario Soriano and David Larrubia as some of the names we should have on our agenda.

Íñigo Vicente, Racing's great Fantasy star

If we have to pick just one player among the three newly promoted sides, Íñigo Vicente stands out as the most attractive bet. The Racing forward finished the promotion campaign with an average rating of 7,62 on SofaScore, by far the highest in his team.

His numbers explain that score: he played 41 matches, scored 9 goals and provided 21 assists. In total, he was directly involved in 30 goals for LaLiga Hypermotion champions. He was also named Racing's MVP in seven games, more than any other teammate.

His Fantasy value goes beyond goals. Íñigo Vicente stands out for his volume of key passes, chances created, crosses and set-piece actions. That allows him to rack up strong points even when he does not find the net. He could be one of those players capable of sustaining his statistical output despite the step up in level.

The main question will be whether he can adapt that extraordinary attacking production to Primera Division. It will be difficult for him to repeat 21 assists, but he should continue to be Racing's main chance creator and one of the most free-flowing players in the final third.

Andrés Martín, a midfielder with striker numbers

The second-best rated Racing player was Andrés Martín, with an average of 7,30 on SofaScore. His big appeal lies in his ability to produce goals while regularly playing from an outside position.

The forward registered 18 goals during the season, an outstanding figure for a player who can be listed as a midfielder on some Fantasy platforms. If he keeps that role, he could offer a major advantage by scoring points like a forward from the midfield line.

Before going after him, it will be necessary to check his final situation, his position in each match, and how Racing distributes its attacking responsibilities. Even so, his ease in getting into the box and finishing moves makes him a priority name.

Asier Villalibre, a forward to watch during pre-season

Asier Villalibre completed Racing's podium with an average rating of 7,08. The forward offers play with his back to goal, finishing ability and presence inside the area, qualities that could keep him as an important attacking reference.

His Fantasy recommendation will depend especially on the competition and the moves the club makes in the market. If he starts the season as a starter, he could be an interesting option at a mid-range or low price. If Racing signs another forward, his appeal would drop considerably.

Yeremay, Deportivo's player with the highest ceiling

Yeremay Hernández was Deportivo's best-rated player on SofaScore, reaching an average of 7,13. The winger finished the campaign with 11 goals and 10 assists, directly contributing to 21 goals despite suffering from pubalgia (groin) problems for part of the season.

His stats show just how central he was to the attack in A Coruña. He was the team's player with the most shots, with 101 attempts, and also the one who drew the most fouls, with 78. Those are two particularly interesting categories in statistical scoring systems.

Yeremay faces up, dribbles, shoots and creates fouls close to the area. He is a player capable of completing decisive actions, but also of scoring through secondary stats. His Fantasy ceiling could even be higher than Íñigo Vicente's, although he will likely have more ups and downs.

Deportivo is strengthening with ambition , and that could lead to a bigger share of the attacking spotlight. Still, Yeremay remains one of the big talents in the project and a player worth signing if he appears on the market at a reasonable price.

Mario Soriano, consistency and security in midfield

The difference between Yeremay and Mario Soriano was minimal. The midfielder finished with a rating of 7,11 on SofaScore and was chosen by Deportivo as their best player of the 2025/26 season.

His numbers reflect extraordinary consistency: he started all 42 matches, racked up more than 3,500 minutes and contributed 6 goals and 8 assists. He also strung together more than 100 consecutive matches as a starter for the Galician side.

Mario Soriano does not have Yeremay's individual imbalance, but he is constantly involved in the circulation, he draws plenty of fouls and he participates in building attacks. He is probably Deportivo's safest bet for starting and keeping his place.

He could be especially recommended in games that reward passes, recoveries, chances created and overall involvement. His profile fits the category of player who rarely delivers a spectacular score, but also one who usually does not completely disappear from matches.

Adrià Altimira, a possible defensive bargain

With an average of 6,98 on SofaScore, Adrià Altimira was Deportivo's best-rated defender during the promotion campaign. His ability to step out wide and take part in the build-up can earn him extra points beyond clean sheets.

However, his recommendation is conditioned by Deportivo's intense activity in the market. The A Coruña club has added competition in several positions, and it will be necessary to check the XI Antonio Hidalgo chooses during pre-season.

If he keeps his starting spot and begins with a low value, Altimira could become a profitable defender. If his position is not secure, it will be better to wait before making a major investment.

David Larrubia, the big revelation that Malaga is preparing

At Málaga there is a name that stands out especially for his talent, growth and ability to unbalance games: David Larrubia. The academy product was one of the key figures behind the promotion and showed up in the decisive moments of the playoff.

Larrubia scored the winning goal against Las Palmas in the first leg of the semi-finals and was again decisive in the final against Almería. His pace, dribbling, carrying the ball and ease in operating between the lines make him Malaga's player with the greatest Fantasy potential.

His profile is especially interesting for statistical scoring because he can rack up points through completed dribbles, fouls drawn, shots and chances created. Also, everything points to him continuing to play an important role in Juanfran Funes's team.

He will not start with the same recognition as other Primera forwards and could appear at a fairly accessible price. He is one of the clearest candidates to become a bargain in the early matchdays.

Chupete, goals and courage to compete in Primera

Chupete represents Málaga's main goal threat. The young forward has shown instinct inside the box, aggression in pressing and a notable ability to finish moves with few touches.

His goal in the second leg of the playoff final confirmed that he does not feel the weight of appearing in high-pressure scenarios. In Fantasy terms, he is a forward whose output will be closely tied to goals, so he may deliver more irregular points than Larrubia.

His status as a starter still needs to be confirmed during pre-season. Málaga could add competition to their attack, but if Funes keeps his faith in him, Chupete could be one of the season's great young bets.

Alfonso Herrero, a goalkeeper ready to score points through saves

Goalkeepers from newly promoted teams can concede more goals, but they also usually have plenty of opportunities to score points through saves. In that context, Alfonso Herrero stands out as one of Málaga's most reliable players over the last few seasons.

His experience, consistency and ability to show up in difficult moments make him a interesting option in statistical systems. Málaga will have matches where they defend for long stretches, and their keeper could accumulate a high volume of interventions.

He would not be the ideal choice if we are looking for lots of clean sheets, but he can work as a budget goalkeeper or as part of a goalkeeper pairing that allows rotation depending on the calendar.

Who should we sign for our Fantasy teams?

The initial priority should be Íñigo Vicente. His rating of 7,62, his 21 assists and his creative responsibility make him the most reliable player of the three promoted sides. It is hard for him to repeat his exact numbers in Primera, but he will continue to concentrate a large share of Racing's attacking play.

Yeremay would be the bet with the highest ceiling thanks to his shot volume, dribbles and decisive actions. Very close behind is Mario Soriano, possibly the safest option if we are looking for starts, consistency and few rotations.

In a lower price tier, we find David Larrubia and Chupete. Both can drive a significant revaluation if they keep the role they had during the playoff. Larrubia looks like the more complete bet, while Chupete will depend especially on his goal-scoring accuracy.

Finally, players like Adrià Altimira and Alfonso Herrero can work as budget additions to round out the squad, although their suitability will depend on the scoring system used.

Our Fantasy ranking of the newly promoted sides

Initial prices and pre-season lineups will ultimately define their true Fantasy value. In any case, the newly promoted sides are again offering us a chance to get ahead of the market: sign cheap before a strong performance in the early matchdays sends their prices soaring.
