Angel Rodado has been one of the top performers for UD Ibiza. Rodado has 13 goals from 23 appearances in the Segunda B this season.
Ansu Fati could be amongst the goals in the forward line for Barcelona. The 17-year-old has two goals, an assist and a pass accuracy of 79.4% from 413 minutes in the league this season.
