Carlos Fernandez - Features off bench in season finale Fernandez subbed into Sunday's match against Sevilla in the 75th minute and he created a chance in the 2-1 victory.
Impact Fernandez made 24 La Liga appearances (eight starts) in his return campaign after missing the entirety of last season with a torn ACL, and in March he netted against Mallorca for his first goal in the competition in almost two years. The 27-year-old will be competing with Umar Sadiq (knee), Takefusa Kubo and Mikel Oyarzabal for starts along the attacking line next season, though Alexander Sorloth could potentially return to the mix as well.
JUNE 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Benat Turrientes - Depth option this season Turrientes made six La Liga appearances (one start) this season for Sociedad, all of them coming before the end of October.
Impact Turrientes remains a definitive backup option in Sociedad's midfield after his first full campaign with the senior team, though the 21-year-old did also feature six times (one start) in the Europa League in this campaign.
JUNE 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Robert Navarro - Left on bench in season finale Navarro made 17 La Liga appearances (one start) this season, but he only featured one time from mid-February onwards.
Impact Navarro carved out a small role in attacking midfield during his first full campaign with Sociedad's senior team, but the 21-year-old for now remains a depth option in the squad as he played just eight minutes across the final 16 league games.
JUNE 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Mikel Oyarzabal - Features off bench in season finale Oyarzabal subbed into Saturday's match against Sevilla in the 61st minute and he created a chance in the 2-1 victory.
Impact Oyarzabal returned to action in December after tearing his ACL last Spring, and he ended the campaign with four goals and one assist in 23 La Liga appearances (14 starts). The 26-year-old will want to be fully fit at the start of next season, ready to lock down a starting spot either on the left wing or in a front-two as Sociedad returns to the Champions League for the first time in a decade.
JUNE 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Pablo Marin - Mostly reserve option for Sociedad Marin made 10 La Liga appearances (three starts) in midfield for Sociedad's senior team this season, but he only featured once from March onwards.
Impact Marin is still mostly a Sociedad B team player in the Spanish third tier at the moment, but the 19-year-old could continue growing into a role on the senior side next season.
JUNE 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Ander Guevara - Features off bench in season finale Guevara subbed in and played the final 30 minutes or so of Sunday's 2-1 victory against Sevilla.
Impact Guevara took a step backwards in playing time with Sociedad this season, featuring in just eight La Liga games (two starts) in defensive midfield. The 25-year-old has just one year left on his contract with the club and could be in line for a summer transfer.
JUNE 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
David Silva - Ends season injured Silva (calf) was limited to just 20 minutes of playing time across Sociedad's final four games of the campaign.
Impact Silva only missed a few spurts of the season with injuries in October, February and May, which is about as good as one can expect from him at 37 years old. He's still a very important player for Sociedad as he tallied two goals and five assists in 28 La Liga appearances (25 starts) mostly in attacking midfield, and he'll be returning to the Champions League next season after extending his contract with the club in May.
JUNE 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Mikel Merino - Takes shot in season finale Merino subbed into Sunday's match against Sevilla in the 61st minute, taking a shot and winning one of one tackles in the 2-1 victory.
Impact Merino posted two goals and a career-high nine assists across 33 La Liga appearances (28 starts) mostly either in midfield or on the left wing this season for Sociedad. The 26-year-old will be playing in the Champions League for the first time next season if he remains at the club.
JUNE 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Martin Zubimendi - Takes shot in season finale Zubimendi took a shot and created a chance in Sunday's 2-1 victory against Sevilla. He also made a clearance in the match.
Impact Zubimendi had arguably his best campaign yet in 2022/23, tallying one goal, three assists and 12 clean sheets in 36 La Liga appearances (35 starts) as Sociedad clinched Champions League football for next season. The 24-year-old defensive midfielder will continue as a nailed-on starter for the team unless he gets snatched up by a bigger club.
JUNE 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Diego Rico Salguero - Starts in season finale Rico made two clearances, an interception and won two of three tackles in Sunday's victory against Sevilla.
Impact Rico kept five clean sheets in 20 La Liga appearances (18 starts) this season at left-back, but he only featured in two of Sociedad's final 13 games down the stretch as Aihen Munoz took over as the starter. The 30-year-old Rico might begin the next campaign as the backup option in the position.
JUNE 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Aihen Munoz - Left on bench in season finale Munoz was an unused substitute in Sunday's win over Sevilla, but he made 23 La Liga appearance (20 starts) throughout the campaign.
Impact Munoz kept seven clean sheets as Sociedad finished in the top-four and clinched Champions League football for next season, and he also grabbed his second-ever La Liga assist in setting up a strike against Rayo in April. The 25-year-old continues to split time with Diego Rico at left-back, but he's increased his league minutes in every campaign since breaking into the senior side.
JUNE 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Alex Sola - Left on bench in season finale Sola was an unused substitute in Sunday's victory against Sevilla and he did not appear in a single game since early April.
Impact Sola kept one clean sheet and made 10 appearances (three starts) during his first full campaign with Sociedad's senior team in La Liga. The 23-year-old is definitively a backup option behind Aritz Elustondo and Andoni Gorosabel at right-back heading into next season.
JUNE 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Andoni Gorosabel - Starts in season finale Gorosabel kept three clean sheets in 27 La Liga appearances (19 starts) at right-back this season.
Impact Gorosabel's playing time in La Liga decreased for a second consecutive year as he split time with Aritz Elustondo at right-back this season and admittedly missed a month with an ankle injury in January. The 26-year-old has one year left on his contract with Sociedad heading into the next campaign.
JUNE 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Jon Pacheco - Starts in season finale Pacheco made seven clearances and two interceptions in Sunday's 2-1 victory against Sevilla.
Impact Pacheco kept four clean sheets in 17 La Liga appearances (12 starts) this campaign as his club finished in the top-four and clinched Champions League football for next season, and he also grabbed his first ever assist in league play against Almeria in May. The 22-year-old might have surpassed Aritz Elustondo in Sociedad's center-back depth chart, but he's still definitively a backup to Robin Le Normand and Igor Zubeldia in the position.
JUNE 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Igor Zubeldia - Creates chance in season finale Zubeldia made a block, three clearances and created a chance in Sunday's 2-1 victory against Sevilla. He also won one of one tackles in the match.
Impact Zubeldia returned to a more consistent starting role in central defense this season with a goal, an assist and nine clean sheets in 31 La Liga appearances (29 starts) after a couple of spottier campaigns the last two years. The 26-year-old just signed a six-year contract extension with Sociedad in May, and he'll be playing Champions League football with the club next season.
JUNE 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Robin Le Normand - Left on bench in season finale Le Normand was an unused substitute in Sunday's victory against Sevilla.
Impact Le Normand was once again a regular in central defense this campaign as Real Sociedad clinched a top-four finish and a spot in next season's Champions League. The 26-year-old tallied 13 clean sheets from 33 La Liga appearances (31 starts) despite missing about a month in the fall with a foot injury.

Take - Takes four shots in season finale Kubo took four shots and created two chances in Sunday's 2-1 victory against Sevilla. He also made an interception in the match.
Impact Kubo finally showed some attacking consistency in what was clearly his best season to date with nine goals and four assists across 35 La Liga appearances (29 starts) all across the attacking line. The 22-year-old will want to continue building on these performances and fully nail down a spot in Sociedad's XI in the next campaign.
JUNE 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Alejandro Remiro - Concedes goal to Sevilla Remiro made three saves but conceded a goal in Sunday's 2-1 victory against Sevilla in the season finale.
Impact Remiro was beaten by an Erik Lamela strike on Sunday, but Sociedad won the match and finished in the top-four which means Champions League football next season. The 28-year-old Remiro once again had a stellar campaign with 15 clean sheets and 35 goals conceded in 38 La Liga matches, finishing second in the Golden Glove race after his first-place finish last season.
JUNE 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Alexander Sorloth - Records assist in season finale Sorloth took three shots (two on target) and assisted a goal in Sunday's 2-1 victory against Sevilla.
Impact Sorloth's second loan season with Sociedad was much more successful than the first as he posted 12 goals and three assists in 34 La Liga appearances (28 starts) up front, the best scoring tally of his career in one of the "Big five" European leagues. The 27-year-old is once again set to return to Leipzig this summer, but don't be surprised to see Sociedad try to make a permanent move for him even though the German club is also in need of a striker now with Christopher Nkunku leaving for Chelsea.
JUNE 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Ander Barrenetxea - Records assist against Sevilla Barrenetxea took two shots (one on target) and assisted a goal in Sunday's 2-1 victory against Sevilla in the season finale.
Impact Barrenetxea set up Brais Mendez's opener Sunday for his first assist of the season to go along with his three goals. The 21-year-old missed most of September through early January due to injury, but he still managed 23 La Liga appearances (nine starts) mostly either on the left wing or as a stop-gap right-back, totaling his second-most minutes played across a league season behind only his 2020/21 campaign.
JUNE 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Brais Mendez - Scores goal against Sevilla Mendez took three shots and scored a goal in Sunday's 2-1 victory against Sevilla in the season finale. He also created five chances and won four of six tackles in the match.
Impact Mendez finished the season strong with a goal and an assist in his last two games after recovering from a groin injury in May. His first campaign with Sociedad ends with eight goals and four assists in 34 La Liga appearances (28 starts), plus two more scores and an assist in the Europa League. The 26-year-old should continue as a regular starter across midfield and the right wing heading into next season.
JUNE 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Mohamed-Ali Cho - Scores goal off bench Cho subbed into Sunday's season finale against Sevilla in the 72nd minute, taking two shots on target and scoring a goal in the 2-1 victory.
Impact Cho finally got off the mark for Sociedad on Sunday, bagging the eventual winner with his first goal of the season to go along with his two assists. The 19-year-old forward struggled a bit in his rookie campaign in Spain with just five La Liga starts from 19 appearances after transferring from Angers last summer, but he still has plenty of time to grow and develop into his role at the club.
JUNE 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Mikel Merino - On bench against Sevilla Merino (undisclosed) is in Sociedad's match day squad for Sunday's season final against Sevilla.
Impact Merino has recovered from a knock he picked up last weekend to make the squad on Sunday, and he could see some playing time off the bench in the season finale.
