Karl Toko Ekambi: The Cameroon international can play in a variety of roles. Not only he has been deployed as a forward in a false-9 situation, but the 26-year-old has played both on the left-wing and as a left-back as well.

VIL vs GRD Dream11 Grand League Scenarios:

Villarreal should have a comfortable outing against the newly promoted Granda.
That said the visitors could still produce a shock.
Their forward line has a little bit of flair, led by the former Valencia star Roberto Soldado.
But from the midfield, the likes of Iborra, Ekambi and Cazorla are undroppable.
Stock your midfield with the home team’s player, with Fede Vico a good option from Granada.
