Goalkeeper

Kayne van Oevelen (FC Volendam) 8.6

It was a sixth loss in seven league outings for Eredivisie strugglers FC Volendam over the weekend, as Rick Kruys’ side fell to a demoralising 2-0 defeat at Ajax.

Despite being on the losing side, Van Oevelen starred between the sticks for the Palingboeren, making 11 saves throughout the contest to keep the scoreline respectable.

Defence

Jonathan Clauss (Nice) 8.9

Clauss rose to the occasion in Nice's 4-1 triumph against Nantes, with the marauding right-back providing an excellent assist for Mohamed-Ali Cho's early breakthrough.

In addition to his attacking output, Clauss also won 91% of ground duels and made four key interceptions.

Ozan Kabak (Hoffenheim) 8.9

Hoffenheim continued their incredible form in the Bundesliga on Saturday afternoon, winning 3-1 away at Eintracht Frankfurt to consolidate their spot in the top three.

Kabak was influential at both ends of the pitch for the visitors, with the Turkish centre-back heading home his second goal of the season on the hour mark, while he also made five clearances and won all four of his ground duels.

Federico Dimarco (Inter Milan) 9

Faced with a two-goal deficit after a disastrous opening half-hour at home to Pisa, Inter boss Cristian Chivu turned to Dimarco as the Nerazzurri looked to mount a comeback.

The Italian made an immediate impact for the league leaders, setting up Lautaro Martinez with an inswinging delivery, before scoring a volley late in the second half to clinch a resounding victory.

Midfield

Rodrigo Zalazar (Braga) 9.2

Zalazar was the standout performer for Braga in Sunday's 5-0 thrashing of Alverca, as the Archbishops moved up to fourth in the Portuguese top flight.

Not only did the Uruguayan bag his 15th goal of the campaign with a clinical strike into the bottom corner, but he also registered an assist for Pau Victor, while completing 95% of his passes in the final third.

Nadiem Amiri (Mainz) 9.4

Bundesliga strugglers Mainz were trailing Wolfsburg when Amiri was substituted onto the pitch with 25 minutes remaining, and the German midfielder couldn’t have dreamt of a better cameo from the bench.

The 29-year-old quickly provided an assist for Phillip Tietz’s leveller, before converting from the penalty spot in the closing stages to secure a crucial three points for the 05ers.

Gabriel Sara (Galatasaray) 9.1

Sara produced the goods for title-chasing Galatasaray on Saturday evening, with the Brazilian netting twice in a hard-fought 3-1 win at bottom-of-the-table Karagumruk.

The playmaker broke the deadlock inside 30 seconds with a composed finish in the box, and then doubled his tally early in the second half, heading home from Roland Sallai's delivery.

Martin Baturina (Como) 9.4

Cesc Fabregas' Como continue to go from strength to strength, as a superb individual display from Baturina fired the Biancoblu to an eye-catching 6-0 triumph at home to Torino.

The Croatian registered a goal and an assist during his 68 minutes on the pitch, while coming out on top in all three of his ground duels.

Attack

Endrick (Lyon) 9.6

Endrick has enjoyed a spectacular start to his loan spell in France, with the Brazilian starring once again in Lyon’s emphatic 5-2 victory at Metz.

The forward found the net with two expertly taken strikes in the first half, before scoring from the spot late on to complete his first-ever senior hat-trick.

In addition to his goals, Endrick also won 86% of ground duels and completed 75% of his dribbles, as the 19-year-old looks to force his way into Carlo Ancelotti’s Brazil squad.

Nene (AFS) 9.6

Rock-bottom AFS earned just their fifth point of the Liga Portugal season, as they recovered from a three-goal deficit to snatch a thrilling draw at Casa Pia.

Veteran striker Nene proved age is just a number, with the 42-year-old coming off the bench to clinically dispatch a pair of penalties - doubling his goal tally for the campaign in the process.

Nikola Krstovic (Atalanta) 9.4

Atalanta forward Krstovic scored for the third successive match, with La Dea proving too strong for Parma in a one-sided Serie A triumph on Sunday afternoon.

The Montenegrin international unselfishly set up Giacomo Raspadori for an easy tap-in before rounding off the scoring in stoppage time via a close-range rebound.
