Luis Rioja
31-Year-Old
Valencia
La Liga
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Rioja made the switch to Valencia last season and immediately took over the starting job on the right wing. He played in 36 matches (33 starts) and nearly topped 3,000 minutes, as his durability remains a key quality. He was just as productive as he had been with Alaves, scoring five times and adding three assists from 30 shots and 35 chances created. With a split of set pieces, he has a decent floor every match, though he's never been a high-volume goalscorer. He's a known commodity at this point and his numbers shouldn't stray much in the 2025/26 campaign.

Sets up opening goal Friday
Rioja assisted once to go with seven crosses (three accurate) and six corners in Friday's 3-0 win versus Getafe.
ANALYSIS
Rioja set up Valencia's opening goal with a perfect delivery from the corner that was nodded home by Mouctar Diakhaby. This was his first assist of the season, but Rioja has been a steady threat on the wing for Valencia. He has 13 crosses and seven corners taken in the first three matches of the campaign.
