After a passionate October, which has seen the Liga Adelante packed with thrills, spills and great matches once again, the LFP.es editorial team have chosen the best eleven footballers in the second month of the competition.

In goal
Isaac Becerra has been chosen in this position for the second time on the trot. The goalkeeper at Girona FC, the team that saw out October at the top of the Liga Adelante, proved to be a rock between the sticks once again. Becerra has proved unbeatable, keeping four clean sheets in four games, with countless displays of his outstanding reflexes.

Defence
In a month in which midfielders have dominated, LFP.es has opted for a three-man defence in the all-star team. Its first member is Alberto Lora of R. Sporting, the only unbeaten team in this Liga Adelante. The player from Mostoles was a key figure in the Asturian team's rear-guard and also found the net in the 2-0 win over At. Osasuna.

The centre of the defence is occupied by Richy, a shoo-in for Pablo Machín's Girona. The Galician player scored a goal in the 3-0 win over SD Ponferradina, and contributed to four consecutive clean sheets with his outstanding performances. Finally, Jesús Rueda, a R. Valladolid CF favourite, completest the back-line thanks to his solid play with the team from Castile and Leon. The centre-back played every minute with his team and has also completed more passes than any other Liga Adelante player (590). 

Midfield
Andy Rodríguez of Ponferradina provides the necessary balance to a midfield formed by players with endless magic in their boots. The man from Granada was the pillar that held up the side from El Bierzo, who saw out October in the playoff spots. The midfielder also found the net in the two-all draw against UD Las Palmas with a superb free-kick.

Ahead of him are three pacey game-changers who can strike fear into the hearts of any defence: Zakarya Bergdich, of Valladolid, Marco Asensio, of RCD Mallorca, and Jony Rodríguez, of Sporting. The first of them scored three goals in four matches, providing six valuable points for the Blanquivioletas; the young gun from the Balearic team, for his part, scored two goals and stunned everyone with his confidence in the centre of the park; finally, the Asturian team's academy graduate also found the net twice with goals that helped Sporting maintain their unbeaten record.

Up front
The strikeforce contains three players to whom scoring goals seems to come easily. Sergio Araujo, of Las Palmas, kept his title as the top goal-scorer in the Liga Adelante thanks to the two goals he scored in October. Ponferradina and Sporting were the victims of this outstanding striker who has set the league alight with nine goals in eleven matches.

Felipe Sanchón, of Girona, made a space for himself in our team of the month after spearheading his team's strikeforce in October. The charismatic Catalan player found the net four times in as many matches and was key to Pablo Machín's men topping the table.
Finally, the most prolific striker of the month: Borja Bastón. Zaragoza's forward catapulted the side from Aragon to the playoff positions with five goals in four matches.

Super-subs
Not everyone could make the team, but LFP.es would like to give a special mention to some other players who had an outstanding second month of the competition. Such is the case of Kasim Adams (Mallorca), Eldin Hadžić (Zaragoza), Adama Traoré (FC Barcelona B), Mamadou Koné (R. Racing C.) and Manu Barreiro (D. Alavés), all players who played important roles in their respective teams and will surely form part of our all-star team in the coming months.
