Óscar Mingueza

Óscar Mingueza is the sort of footballer I instinctively root for. Born in 1999 near Barcelona, he is a centre-back by trade who can slot in at either full-back spot, and that kind of versatility is gold to any manager. He climbed through Barcelona's academy, anchored Celta de Vigo and has now moved to Crystal Palace while earning caps for Spain. He is not the flashy striker who grabs headlines, but he is the calm, intelligent defender who holds a back line together. I have a real soft spot for these unsung workers, the players whose value shows up in the goals that never happen.
