In a difficult season for Valencia, Aarón Mayol has appeared like a breath of fresh air in midfield. The young footballer has shown personality, a strong work ethic, and competitive maturity that is surprising for his age.

His debut as a starter came against Deportivo Alavés, in a match that ended with a Valencia win, 0-1. However, his big calling card arrived against Real Sociedad, when he managed to make his mark as a goalscorer in LaLiga for the first time, netting a superb goal at Mestalla (he also became the second-youngest player in Valencia history to score in the competition during the 21st century).

After several matchdays without opportunities, Javier Aguirre gave him another chance against Elche, handing him a starting spot in a key game for Valencia’s hopes. Mayol responded with physical energy and hard work in midfield, featuring for 78 minutes in the 0-1 victory.

A fantasy output that catches the eye

What matters most to managers is that Mayol is racking up quite attractive scores for his price.

In Comunio he has accumulated 19 points in just three matches, averaging 6.3 points per game. Those are especially interesting figures for a midfielder who still has a market value close to 1.6 million euros.

His goal against Real Sociedad boosted his points, but he has also shown he can be useful without needing to score. His physical strength, the intensity in duels, and his defensive involvement are traits that could help him rack up points in statistical systems like SofaScore.

That said, we’re still talking about a small sample of matches, and we’ll have to see whether he can maintain that consistency as his playing time increases.

Is it worth signing Mayol in Comunio and other fantasy games?

Mayol is an interesting bet for managers looking for affordable midfielders with room to grow. His price is still within reach, his scores when he plays are good, and his youth suggests there is plenty of scope for improvement.

The main risk remains his starting spot. Although his three league appearances have all been from the start, he has not yet established himself as an unquestioned piece for Aguirre.

Despite this risk, we would sign him even if it’s just to speculate, since his price will likely rise over the coming days.
