Rafa "Rafinha" Alcantara, Jean-Marie Dongou, Sergi Gomez, Alejandro Grimaldo and Sergi Samper all merit a spot on the list ahead of David Babunski IMO (even if he is a good prospect). Grimaldo might not make it because of his age (16 in about a week) but he's already played a game for the B-side.

A goal Rafa scored last week vs Cartagena in the spanish second division. Grimaldo is the one starting the play.
