Luis García Plaza’s four untouchables as Sevilla look to Europe | OneFootball

After seven LaLiga matches, Luis García Plaza has relied on Odysseas Vlachodimos, Juan Iglesias, Gabriel Suazo and Lucien Agoumé, the only Sevilla players to have completed all 630 minutes.

Per Zona Mixta, the quartet have not missed a second and have impressed early on. Miguel Sierra has started every game, though he was substituted in all of them except at Riazor. Kike Salas missed Barcelona through injury, and an opening-day red against Rayo meant a ban served at San Mamés against Athletic.

Vlachodimos has Luis García Plaza’s trust in his second season, and Fran González’s arrival from Real Madrid has not changed that. Last term he began behind Nyland and debuted on matchday five in a 1-2 win at Alavés.

Iglesias has settled quickly, contributing at right-back and when required in central defence. His work-rate places him among LaLiga’s leading distance runners, and he decided the Valencia CF match by scoring the only goal in the closing minutes.

Suazo is another pillar. In his second campaign he is first captain after the exits of Nemanja Gudelj and César Azpilicueta, his form rising and earning him a permanent place.

Agoumé has emerged as a standout in midfield. Now in his fourth season, his displays have raised his stock, with next season the final year of his contract. Alongside Vlachodimos, Suazo and Iglesias, he will continue to feature prominently.
