Impact Torres took a step forward, playing the most minutes he has in a single campaign (2,148.) He built that playing time from 32 appearances (27 starts) while contributing three goals and one assist. Torres will face competition from Lucas Ocampos for a spot in the starting XI in 2023-24.

Lucas Ocampos - Nets four goals Ocampos scored four times during 19 appearances (11 starts) during the 2022-23 La Liga season.

Impact Ocampos netted four goals after returning to Sevilla from Ajax, taking a significant role immediately upon his return.

Nemanja Gudelj - Takes major role Gudelj made 34 appearances (31 starts) in La Liga in the 2022-23 season.

Impact Gudelj had often been a rotational option with frequent appearances off the bench, but took over a major role in the starting XI. The defender earned 99 clearances and 43 tackles in the more consistent role in 2022-23 and could be set to lead the backline moving forward.

Youssef En-Nesyri - Eight goals En-Nesyri scored eight times and assisted once during 31 appearances (17 starts) in La Liga.

Impact En-Nesyri bounced back after a disappointing 2021-22, scoring right times and playing 400 more minutes. The forward heads into 2023-24 with a likely hold on the starting spot at striker, ahead of Rafa Mir. At his best En-Nesyri could trouble double-digit goals, as he did in 2019-20.

Ivan Rakitic - Struggles offensively Rakitic ended the 2022-23 La Liga season with one goal and three assists in 31 appearances (21 starts.)

Impact Rakitic had his worst year offensively with Sevilla, struggling to produce going forward and scoring just once. The midfielder might finally have lost a step and he also fell out of a guaranteed role in the starting XI. Rakitic has one year left on his contract and could be poised for a more rotational role in 2023-24.

Impact Oscar started the season well, making 12 starts during his first 12 matches while recording two goals on 26 shots (11 on target) and 47 crosses (nine accurate).

Bono - Concedes goal in Europa League win Bono made two saves but conceded a goal in Wednesday's 1-1 victory (5-2 after penalties) in the Europa League Final.

Impact Bono was once again the penalty hero Wednesday as his saves from Gianluca Mancini and Roger Ibanez in the shootout harkened back to his success with Morocco during the World Cup in December. The 32-year-old ended a turbulent league season with four clean sheets and 41 goals conceded in 25 La Liga games before mostly switching over to Europa League play in April, keeping two clean sheets in six continental appearances as he won the competition for a second time in the last four seasons. He also helped lead his nation to a very impressive showing at Qatar 2022, shutting out Croatia, Spain and Portugal en route to the semifinals and the best-ever showing at a World Cup from an African country.

Marko Dmitrovic - Concedes two goals in season finale Dmitrovic made four saves but conceded two goals in Sunday's 2-1 defeat against Real Sociedad.

Impact Dmitrovic was beaten by strikes from Brais Mendez and Mohamed-Ali Cho in Sunday's finale, but he ends the campaign with five clean sheets and 13 goals allowed in 15 La Liga appearances (13 starts), largely taking over in goal from Bono in the league from April onwards. The 31-year-old also kept three clean sheets in five European games and he won the Europa League for the first time with Sevilla this season.

Suso - Records assist off bench Suso subbed into Sunday's season finale against Real Sociedad in the 60th minute, taking two shots, assisting a goal and winning one of one tackles in the 2-1 defeat.

Impact Suso returned from a serious ankle injury that forced him to miss the majority of last season and posted two goals and four assists across 25 La Liga appearances (10 starts) in this campaign, plus another goal in the Europa League as he won the competition for the second time in the last four seasons. The 29-year-old remains mostly a backup option to Erik Lamela and Lucas Ocampos on Sevilla's right wing heading into the next campaign.

Impact Lamela ends the season with six goals in 32 La Liga appearances (20 starts), plus another two goals and two assists in the Europa League as he won his first continental tournament. The 31-year-old Lamela and his teammates largely succeeded overall despite a turbulent campaign behind the scenes at Sevilla, and he'll hope to be able to nail down a starting spot somewhere along the attacking line with more consistency at the club next season.

Marcos Acuna - Ends with suspension Acuna made 30 appearances (21 starts) in the 2022/23 La Liga season.

Impact Acuna ended the season on the sideline with a suspension but was once more a nailed-on starter when fully fit. The defender scored a career-high three goals and added a pair of assists during the season. Acuna also put in 147 crosses and created 38 chances during an impressive season.

Gonzalo Montiel - Comes off injured in season finale Montiel was subbed out of Sunday's clash against Real Sociedad in the ninth minute after suffering an injury.

Impact Montiel is still yet to fully overtake Jesus Navas as Sevilla's starting right-back as he kept one clean sheet and recorded three assists across 28 La Liga appearances (17 starts) this season, but it still must have been a dream campaign for the 26-year-old as he slotted home the winning penalty kicks in both the Europa League Final and the World Cup Final with Argentina. Navas is turning 38 in the fall so Montiel might be closing in on the starting spot soon enough.

Alex Telles - On bench against Sociedad Telles (undisclosed) is in Sevilla's match day squad for Sunday's season finale against Real Sociedad.

Impact Telles has recovered enough from a knock he suffered during the midweek Europa League Final victory to be available for selection on Sunday, and he could see some playing time off the bench while Diego Hormigo starts at left-back in his place.
