With the 18th round of LaLiga Santander fixtures now all done and dusted, it's time to reveal the latest LaLiga Fantasty MARCA Best XI.
Rayo Vallecano and Real Sociedad are the prominent forces in this star-studded lineup, with three players from both teams making the cut, including Rayo goalkeeper Stole Dimitrievski, who claims the MVP honours.
The Macedonian custodian gets the nod between the sticks after a truly inspired performance in the Madrilenians' 1-0 away triumph over R. Valladolid CF, in which he recorded a clean sheet and saved a last-gasp penalty.
On the back of his assured 13-point showing in his side's goalless stalemate against Villarreal CF, SD Eibar's Cote is the team's top-performing defender. He is joined in a three-man backline by La Real's Diego Llorente (11 points) and Rayo's Jordi Amat (12).
The team's engine room is composed of a quintet of top talents, each of whom represents a different club. Alvaro Medran (15) is the leading light in the middle third, with his first-minute strike against R. Valladolid handing the Vallecas-based outfit a priceless three points. Slotting in alongside Medran are Tomas Pina (12), Mikel Merino, Aleix Garcia and David Ferreiro (11 points apiece), all of whom were in impressive form in their respective outings.
The Best XI forward pairing offers up tremendous talent and raw pace in equal measure, with Willian Jose and Iñaki Williams both making the grade courtesy of their 12-point displays. The Real Sociedad hitman confidently slotted home from the spot to set the Basques on their way to a 2-0 away success over Real Madrid and was instrumental in his side's victory. Meanwhile, Williams struck the winner for Athletic Club at Balaidos and was a constant thorn in the RC Celta backline.
