Justin Kluivert - Productive during loan season Kluivert scored six goals on 44 shots in 26 appearances (15 starts) this past season.

Impact Kluivert scored six goals on loan at Valencia this past season, his most in a domestic league season in his career. The six goals tied for the most on the team and proved crucial to Valencia surviving relegation. His loan from Roma is set to end June 30, but there is an option to buy so his future is up in the air at the moment.

Nicolas Gonzalez - Decent on loan from Barcelona Nico scored one goal and recorded one assist on 14 shots and 12 chances created in 26 appearances (18 starts) this past season.

Impact Nico had a decent season in midfield on loan at Valencia this past season, as he recorded two goal contributions and kept one clean sheet. He also set career highs in interceptions, clearances and blocked shots. His loan is set to end June 30, so the 21-year-old will likely go back to Barcelona unless he is loaned to Valencia (or elsewhere) for another season.

Andre Almeida - Productive in debut season Almeida scored two goals and recorded four assists on 23 shots and 43 chances created in 34 appearances (29 starts) this past season.

Impact Almeida put together a good first season in La Liga with six goal contributions, tied for the third most on the team. He also established himself as a first choice corner kick taker, as he racked up 63 corners and recorded 127 crosses (36 accurate). With a full summer of training, the 23-year-old could come back next season even better.

Hugo Guillamon - Most productive season yet Guillamon scored one goal and recorded four assists on four shots and 25 chances created in 25 appearances (19 starts) this past season.

Impact Guillamon recorded four assists this past season, after not recording one in his previous three seasons at the club. He also recorded career highs in chances created (25), crosses (32) and corners (16). If he can avoid injuries and play closer to 38 matches, he could be in for even more production next season.

Hugo Duro - Quiet second season Duro scored one goal and recorded one assist on 33 shots and 11 chances created in 30 appearances (12 starts) this past season.

Impact Duro's production took a significant drop-off this past season compared to the 2021-2022 campaign, as he recorded seven fewer goal contributions despite appearing in the same amount of matches. He also picked up five yellow cards, compared to just two from his first season at the club. With Samuel Lino likely going back to Atletico Madrid, Duro may have an opportunity for more playing time next season.

JUNE 8, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Lino - Productive during loan season Lino scored six goals and recorded one assist on 96 shots and 27 chances created in 38 appearances (33 starts) this past season.

Impact Lino appeared in every match during his loan stint at Valencia, and ended up with six goals and one assist. He especially came alive towards the end of the season with his side facing possible relegation, as he bagged four goals in the final nine matches of the season. His loan from Atletico Madrid ends June 30, so even if Valencia want to keep him, his time at the club may come to an end soon.

JUNE 8, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Samu Castillejo - Scores four in debut season Castillejo scored four goals on 37 shots and recorded 87 crosses in 25 appearances (17 starts) this past season.

Impact Castillejo scored four goals this past season in his return to La Liga, his most goals in a domestic league season since the 2018-2019 season with AC Milan. He also created 30 chances, recorded 87 crosses (23 accurate) and 40 corners. If he can play more matches next season, he could be in for more production.

JUNE 8, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Edinson Cavani - Productive in first Valencia season Cavani scored five goals and recorded two assists on 34 shots and 12 chances created in 25 appearances (20 starts) this past season.

Impact Cavani had a decent debut season in La Liga during the 2022-2023 campaign, as he scored five goals and recorded two assists in 25 appearances, tied for the most goal contributions on the team. He also picked up six yellow cards, his most in a domestic league season since the 2012-2013 Serie A campaign with Napoli. The 36-year-old battled through multiple injuries during this past season, so if he can play closer to a full slate of games next season he could edge closer to double digits in goal contributions.

Yunus Musah - Sent off as substitute Musah picked up a red card and was sent off in the 81st minute of Sunday's 1-1 draw versus Betis. He recorded no stats before his removal.

The goalkeeper started in all 38 rounds in La Liga play during the season. He finished with only seven clean sheets, though, to go with 105 saves and 45 goals allowed.

Giorgi Mamardashvili - Beaten twice against Espanyol Mamardashvili made three saves and conceded two goals during Sunday's 2-2 draw against Espanyol.

Impact Mamardashvili was beaten once each half here and, if the first one would maybe be avoidable for some, the second one came off a clear mistake by the goalkeeper, who parried away a shot that looked easy to smother and left the net practically wide-open for Martin Braithwaite to score. This was just the second game with multiple goals allowed by Mamardashvili over his last eight starts and he'll try to bounce back during next Sunday's decisive match against Betis.

Jose Gaya - Logs assist against Espanyol Gaya provided an assist, had two off-target shots, sent in four inaccurate crosses and made two tackles (both won) during Sunday's 2-2 draw against Espanyol.

Impact Gaya didn't have numbers like the ones he's used to but still made a huge contribution here, with the assist for Samuel Lino's dramatic equalizer during second half's stoppage time. This was the first appearance on the scoresheet in four months for the left-back, who will next captain Valencia on their decisive match against Betis as they try to avoid relegation.

Lino - Bags equalizer off bench Lino scored a goal off two shots (one on target) and sent in four inaccurate crosses after coming off the bench during Sunday's 2-2 draw against Espanyol.

Impact Lino was brought in the 34th minute to replace injured Toni Lato and wasn't having exactly a great performance. But everything changed during second half's stoppage time, when the forward beat the goalkeeper with a very well-placed shot from just inside the box to score a dramatic equalizer and give his team a precious point on their fight against relegation. With four of his six goals this season being scored over the last eight matches, Lino will hope to be back in the starting XI for next Sunday's season finale against Betis.

Diego Lopez Noguerol - Scores against Espanyol Lopez scored a goal off two shotos (one on target) and created three chances during Sunday's 2-2 draw against Espanyol.

Impact Lopez started for the fourth consecutive match and once again made most of his playing time, being at the right place to open the scoring for Valencia after an error from the opposing goalkeeper in the 38th minute. This was the second goal over the last three matches for the youngster, who's giving Valencia a lot of hope with his play during the final stretch of the campaign.

Lato Toni - Suffers broken rib over weekend Lato started but was subbed out of Sunday's draw against Espanyol in the 34th minute after breaking his rib, an injury he confirmed on social media Monday.

Impact Lato's contract is up at the end of this season and he will surely leave Valencia having never fully broken into the starting lineup since making his senior debut back in February 2016. The 25-year-old left-back tallied three goals and three assists across 78 appearances (40 starts) in six different La Liga campaigns at the club -- minus a season spent on-loan with PSV and Osasuna in 2019/20 -- and he won the Copa del Rey in 2019.
