On Wednesday Liga MX kick’s off it’s Clausura 2016 playoffs with four matches in two days. The road is long and only one team will lift the trophy in a few weeks.

More than 430 players started the season with aspirations of bringing a championship to their respective club and living in the glory that is winning it all. Now we are down to eight teams vying for that one chance.

Within the 17 weeks of the season we saw many players rise to the challenge scoring goals, delivering spectacular assists and goal keepers making exceptional saves. There’s no doubt the playoffs will only bring more drama.

All eight teams in this season’s playoffs have a lot of talent and fire power, in fact collectively they’ve scored 54% (234) of the seasons total goal count of 431. Success will be drawn from many different places and each team will lean heavily on particular players to see them through to the next round.

We delve into each team’s most important player entering this postseason.
