Mid-Season Review: Best Players of each La Liga Team~from A to Z

As we begin 2011, let's take some time to reflect and give some kudos to the best player in each La Liga team as of the 2010-11 season, so far.

Almería: Brasilian goal keeper Diego Alves - is there any wonder bigger teams are vying for his services? The top notch shot stopper has kept the Andaluz team in La Primera week in and week out.

Athletic Bilbao: Ever since the World Cup, Fernando Llorente has been on fire! Scoring nearly every single game. Tremendous for Athletic and the Spanish National Team.

Atlético Madrid: Kun Aguero has been covering for his out of form strike partner with class. He has been sensational this year and constant danger, flying the colors proudly for Los Indios.

FC Barçelona: Lionel Messi is simply the best.

Deportivo La Coruña: Diego Colotto has been solid in defense as he leads the 5 man backline. Plus he has been clinical in set pieces. A rock.

Espanyol: Pablo Osvaldo is prolific in front of goal, eager to help out in defense. A star in La Liga.

Getafe: With Venezuelan striker, Miku one can easily see that the rebirth of Geta is definitely due to his reemergence. It is not just all about goals with him, but the space he creates for his teammates and his read of the game.

Hércules: David Trezeguet is pure class

Levante: On loan striker from Manchester City, Felipe Caicedo and his goals are keeping the Valencian team out of the drop zone.

Málaga CF: Eliseu, the X Factor who makes things happen for the struggling Andalusian team.

RCD Mallorca: Portuguese defender Nunes, is a pillar of strength in the back. The captain leads by example.

CA Osasuna: Nacho Monreal has been stellar at leftback for the team from Pamplona. He is the heir apparent to Joan Capdevila for the national team.

Racing Santander: Swedish midfielder Kennedy has been a breath of fresh air for the struggling team. His link up play with Munitis & Rosenberg has been critical.

Real Madrid: Xabi Alonso is pure quality, the focal point for the squad. He is the glue that keeps the team functioning. He just keeps getting better and better.

Real Sociedad: Joseba Llorente's return to his youth team has worked to perfection for Lasarte and co. His experience and guile are just what they need.

Sevilla: Diego Perotti never gives up. He has been one of the few bright lights in a team in crisis.

Sporting Gijón: Lora is an underrated right back in the Spanish league. But he has been immense for the Asturian side, defensively as well as in attack.

Valencia: midfield creator extraordinaire Tino Costa has improved the level of play of Los Che this year. Gotta love his wicked shot as well.

Villarreal: On loan crack from West Brom, Borja Valero with an amazing season. The midfield of Villarreal is second to none.

Real Zaragoza: Gabi, the captain for the out of form team, has found a way to fight back, equalize, or hold teams. One of the few shining stars in a very poor performing team.

Well there's my best from each La Liga team of 2010-11, at the midway point. Do you agree? Who are yours?
