Heavy rain in Spain contributed to a low scoring weekend, although goals were fairly evenly spaced and there were only six clean sheets in all. One of those was for Víctor Valdés, who moves away from his closest rival Casillas after having only let in two goals in seven games. Of the other five. only Zaragoza's César was in the starting line up at the beginning of the season, the others (Diego Alves (Almería), Fabricio (Deportivo), Casilla (Espanyol) and Hildebrand (Valencia)), all winning their places as the current campaign progressed.

Two or three more changes to comment on as well, with Palop returning for Sevilla after a two month long injury, Alberto replacing the suspended Sergio Asenjo at Valladolid, and Armando making his debut for Athletic Bilbao at the ripe young age of 37 after his transfer from Cádiz a few days ago.
