I’ve been following Valencia’s matches recently and wanted to share their 2024-2025 season squad list with you. As a historic powerhouse in La Liga, Valencia’s lineup this season is quite interesting.
Let’s start with the goalkeeper position. The main goalkeeper is No. 25 Mamardashvili, this Georgian keeper has been very consistent, with backup goalkeepers including No. 13 Dimitrievski and young Jaume Domènech. Valencia’s goalkeeper setup is fairly reasonable, combining experience with fresh talent.
Defensive Line and Midfield Configuration
In the defensive line, Valencia has several quality players. Gabriel Paulista anchors the center-back position as captain for the Valencia Super Cup squad, alongside familiar names like Mosquera and Gayà. At full-back, both Foulquier and Thierry Correia are pace-oriented players, well-suited for counter-attacking football. In midfield, Pepelu is the core, while Andre Almeida and Javi Guerra are both technical midfielders with excellent ball control.
I find the forward line configuration most interesting. Hugo Duro, who starts as striker in [Valencia vs Barcelona matches], has always been hardworking - not a superstar but reliable. On the wings, Diego López and Fran Pérez offer pace and strong dribbling ability. Samuel Lino departed on loan, so the team definitely needs other players to step up in wide attacking areas.
Starting Lineup Statistics
| Position | Player Name | Number | Nationality |
|---|
| Goalkeeper | Mamardashvili | 25 | Georgia |
| Defender | Gabriel Paulista | 5 | Brazil |
| Defender | José Gayà | 14 | Spain |
| Midfielder | Pepelu | 18 | Spain |
| Midfielder | Javi Guerra | 8 | Spain |
| Forward | Hugo Duro | 19 | Spain |
Overall, Valencia’s squad depth this season is decent, though there’s obviously still a gap compared to giants like Real Madrid and Barcelona. However, as a fan of the Valencia football team, I believe what matters most is the team’s mentality and tactical execution. Hopefully Los Che will perform well this season and secure European qualification. What are your expectations for Valencia this season? Feel free to discuss.
