Eredivisie game week 3 brought the most goals in a game week so far, with the leagues strikers finally finding their shooting boots.

That’s why this week we’ve had a change of formation, to ensure all the deserving forwards are in.

Goalkeeper: Sonny Stevens (Excelsior)

Excelsior and Sonny Stevens have had a difficult start to the season, drawing with newly promoted Fortuna Sittard before being comfortably beaten by Feyenoord.

But this week they finally pulled it out the bag, with a convincing 2-0 win over NAC Breda, with Stevens maintaining his sides clean sheet with a penalty save.

This save on the 69th minute helped to squash a late comeback and was vital to keeping his side on top.

Right back: Deyovaisio Zeefuik (Groningen)

Zeefuik was a defensive rock for Groningen this week, winning six tackles and two aerial duels during their 1-0 win over De Graafschap.

The 20-year-old has been consistently good for his side so far this season despite a difficult start and will be key for them this season.

Centre back: Jake Clarke-Salter (Vitesse)

Vitesse found themselves under a lot of pressure as they managed to draw 0-0 with high flying AZ Alkmaar.

A lot of the praise will fall to Jake Clarke-Salter who was a wall at the back for his side, winning five tackles and four aerial duels to hold his sides clean sheet.

Centre back: Daley Blind (Ajax)

After joining Ajax for a club record fee, there was instant pressure for him to perform, but the 28-year-old has certainly delivered.

Blind’s exceptional passing was pivotal to his sides 5-0 win over Emmen, coming away with a 93% passing accuarcy.

He also won four aerial duels and three tackles to keep his sides back line strong throughout.

Left back: Diego Palacios (Willem II)

Diego Palacios has been played in a number of positions in his short career, having played on the left wing last week, but the 19-year-old truly looked at home at left back in his sides 5-0 win.

Palacios showed great defensive discipline throughout the game, but wasn’t afraid to attack throughout the game.

Centre midfield: Hakim Ziyech (Ajax)

Hakim Ziyech put in a near perfect performance as his side blasted past FC Emmen.

The Moroccan international opened the scoring, some excellent footwork seeing him ease past Emmen defenders before firing a low effort into the bottom right.

The attacking trickery of Ziyech gave the Emmen defenders trouble throughout and almost got a second, being denied by the post twice.

Centre midfield: Jens Toornstra (Feyenoord)

Toornstra’s brace gave Feyenoord an important 3-0 lead going into half-time, before the game broke out into mayhem in the second half as Feyenoord won 5-3 over Heerenveen.

The 29-year-old opened the scoring with a cheeky dink over the Heerenveen defence before an audacious finish from 30 yards out put his side 3-0 up at the break.

The decisive finishing of players like Toornstra is exactly what Feyenoord were missing at the start of the season and now that it’s back, they are a real title threat.

Centre midfield: Donis Avdijaj (Willem II)

In his second Eredivisie game, the former Schalke midfielder showed exactly what he has to offer for Willem II.

Opening the scoring with a great curling effort before using great attacking instinct to follow up on a saved effort to put Willem II 2-0 up.

Avdijaj will now be desperate to repeat these heroics as Willem II face champions PSV Eindhoven next week.

Striker: Klaas-Jan Huntelaar (Ajax)

The legendary forward proved his worth once again as his side strolled to a 5-0 win.

Huntelaar picked up an assist before netting two of his own, following up on a Ziyech effort before excellently nodding home his second.

The 35-year-old started the season slowly, but getting Huntelaar firing is key if Ajax are to challenge for the title.

Striker: Luuk de Jong (PSV)

De Jong’s late winner ensured PSV Eindhoven’s 100% winning start continued as the champions look to retain the title.

The 28-year-old put his side in front just before half time, nodding home a cross from Hirving Lozano.

Zwolle found a way back into the game as Vito van Crooij equalised in style. with just seconds remaining, de Jong found a winner as he volleyed home from close range to fire PSV top of the Eredivisie.

Striker: Fran Sol (Willem II)

Sol became the first player to score a hat-trick in the 2018/19 season of the Eredivisie as he starred in Willem’s 5-0 win over Heracles.

The Spaniard picked up his first of the afternoon as he nodded home a perfect curling cross from Aras Ozbiliz.

His second came from the spot after Palacios was brought down in the box, he coolly slotted it away before claiming the match ball, a great low effort from Sol just inside the box was placed superbly.
