Still unbeaten, second in the table and offering great collective play



Four Valencia CF players have received recognition from the Spanish league (LFP) and feature in their best XI for the month of September. Nico Otamendi, José Luis Gayà, André Gomes and Paco Alcácer are amongst the eleven players chosen as the top performers in the first month of competition, a fact that reflects the team's excellent unbeaten start to the campaign.

Valencia CF are currently second in La Liga, with four wins and two draws to their name. The club dominates the LFP ideal side, in which three FC Barcelona players -Claudio Bravo, Rakitic and Neymar- and two from Real Madrid -Cristiano Ronaldo and Carvajal- feature. Atletico Madrid’s Miranda and Denis Suarez from Sevilla are other representatives from the top sides in the division.

Nico Otamendi, one of the great new arrivals for this season, has been instrumental in the team's defensive line –as has José Luis Gayà, one of the jewels of the team and successor to the likes of Jordi Alba and Juan Bernat as homegrown left back.



In midfield, another new addition to the squad has been an ever-present in Nuno’s sides. André Gomes has already scored for VCF at the Coliseum Alfonso Pérez against Getafe, and is becoming one of the attacking references for the team.



In attack, Paco Alcácer has everybody in La Liga talking. Averaging 0.7 goals per game, thanks to four goals in six matches so far this season , he has found the net three times in the last month. He is also providing assists, the most recent this past Sunday at Anoeta for Carles Gil to score. Alcácer has also debuted for the Spanish national team and scored against Macedonia in his first match.



What is clear is that this Valencia CF side has started this season with strength, solidity and balance in every part of the field. Otamendi, Gayà, André Gomes and Alcácer have been the standouts, and this has been recognised by the LFP.
