Brais Mendez

Mendez struggled to get going last season and a broken foot late in the campaign only made matters worse. In addition to having fewer set pieces, he played a little deeper than prior seasons which led to just three goals and two assists. It was his worst La Liga return since 2019/20 with Celta Vigo. There are plenty of changes going on at Sociedad from manager to the players on the pitch, but there's reason to believe Mendez can have a bit of a bounceback. He may not score close to 10 goals, but if on the pitch, there's no question at least 10 goal contributions are still in play.
