Starting Eleven

Sommer

Gladbach were on the road this weekend as they visited Mainz for their Bundesliga clash. The match was fairly even throughout, but the home side were the ones who piled on a little more pressure. Despite a total of 14 shots, with 5 on target, Sommer ensured a clean sheet was kept and that his side took a point from the game.

Raul

Braga were hosts to Sporting for their clash this weekend and in an incredibly tight match, it was the hosts who took the points. Raul was solid at the back ensuring his side kept a clean sheet and was also the scorer of the only goal in the match.

Ivanovic

Over to Russia next where Zenit were away to FC Ufa. The match itself was incredibly tight with just a single goal separating the two teams. Zenit left as 2-1 victors with Ivanovic the hero of the game. Not only did he score one of the goals, but also provided a goal line clearance to ensure his side took the three points.

Robertson

Liverpool were away to Crystal Palace for their Saturday fixture and despite going a goal down they fought back to take all the points. Robertson was solid throughout, the goal conceded was from a penalty caused by the keeper while his defensive performance was solid. To top things off he also provided the assist for the winning goal, could this finally be his time?

Khedira

Juventus were hosts to AC Milan in the Serie A and with both sides needing the points, a heated match was on the cards. Juventus were simply fantastic when they got going and despite Dybala’s incredible performance another Inform for a goal and assist is just too much to ask. Khedira however is yet to receive an Inform and after his goal and assist, his time may be here.

Alli

Tottenham were away to Chelsea for their Premier League fixture this weekend and as the battle for Champions League spots really starts to heat up, both sides needed the points here. Chelsea stuck first however the celebrations didn’t last long, Tottenham ended up as 3-1 winners and Alli was the man behind two of those goals.

Sanchez

Manchester United were hosts to an Inform Swansea and after their shock exit from the Champions League they needed to bounce back. Sanchez was finally on form for United, scoring once and assisting a second in a 2-0 win. Now while this isn’t usually enough for another Inform, I feel that we may see him just sneak in. The big worry would be Lukaku who scored twice for Belgium on Tuesday on top of his goal against Swansea.

Perisic

Inter Milan were hosts to Verona and in a dominant performance they locked up the points in a 3-0 win. Now while Icardi scored twice, Perisic was the man of the match, scoring once and assisting the other two.

Ibrahimovic

LA Galaxy were hosts to LAFC for their MLS derby on the weekend and with the visitors leading 3-1 in the 71st minute things were looking bleak. Everyone changed when the Swedish hero entered the match, the game ended 4-3 to the hosts and Ibrahimovic scored twice on his debut to hopefully secure himself an inform as well!

Aubameyang

After recent criticism Arsenal were desperate to string a few wins together and prove people wrong and in their home game against Swansea, they did exactly this. Aubameyang was the first on the scoresheet, his second was from the spot and despite a chance to secure his first premier league hat-trick, he decided to pass the next penalty onto Lacazette which wrapped up their 3-0 win.

Lewandowski

We head over to Germany now for one of the biggest fixtures in the Bundesliga. Bayern were at home to Dortmund and while many expected a close game, it was Bayern who were runaway winners. In a sensational performance, Bayern were 6-0 winners and while we had several incredible performances, Lewandowski bagged himself a hat-trick and surely he has finally done enough to receive his second Inform.

Substitutes

Kose

Kasimpasa were away to Goztepe for their Sunday clash and despite the visitors taking the points in a 2-0 win, things were far from easy. The home team wrecked up a total of 25 shots with 8 on target but no matter what they attempted, Kose was not going to concede today.

Joao Mario

West Ham were at home to Southampton for their game and both sides were desperately after the points as the relegation battle heats up. Despite all the issues off the pitch, West Ham put in a performance to please everyone. While Arnautovic was the man of the hour he already has an Inform this week, Joao Mario however was also fantastic and with a goal to his name we could see his OTW receive an upgrade.

Alberto

Lazio were at home to Benevento on Saturday and in an 8 goal thriller, a rollercoaster of events unfolded. Benevento went down to 10 men in just the 7th minute and then somehow fought on to take a 2-1 lead. Lazio equalised on the 60th minute and things snowballed from here with the match ending 6-2. Alberto scored once from the spot, assisted another two and dominated the game from the midfield.

Toornstra

Over to the Eredivisie now where Feyenoord played hosts to Excelsior. It was one way traffic from start to finish with the hosts dominating throughout. The game ended 5-0 and while 3 players secured both a goal and an assist, Toornstra from the midfield gets our nod here.

Cabella

Saint-Etienne were away for their Ligue 1 fixture and this time the journey was definitely worthwhile. The visitors left as 3-0 winners and while there were some fantastic performances, Cabella was the man who stole the show. Cabella played a part in all three goals, scoring two, assisting the third and securing a near perfect match rating too.

Payet

Marseille were away to Dijon for the only Ligue 1 game on Saturday. The match ended 3-1 to the guests with the goals spread across the front three. Payet was in great form and despite missing a penalty, he converted another from the spot and also provided an assist.

Plea

Nice were away to Troyes on Sunday and it was the visitors who dominated. Nice win the game 2-0 and Plea from the left wing was sensational. Scoring twice and securing a near perfect match rating, he slides straight into our predictions this week.

Sio

Montpellier were away to Caen for their Sunday match and in a game of four goals, it was the visitors who took three of them. The match ended 3-1 with Sio playing a part in each goal. Scoring twice and assisting the third should be enough to see him secure his spot this week.

Badji

Colorado played hosts to Philadelphia for their MLS clash on Sunday and sadly for the visitors, Badji was simply unstoppable. In a 3-0 win for the hosts he scored each and every goal, securing the three points and hopefully his spot in this week’s team too.

Osawe

Over to the second tier in German football now where Kaiserslautern were away to Duisburg. The game provided us with 5 goals, 4 of which went in favour of the visitors. Osawe was the man of the hour, scoring not once, not twice, but three times to finish his hat-trick and hopefully secure his spot in this week’s team.

Pires

Portimonense were hosts to Moreirense for their Liga Nos fixture and in an end to end match, it was the hosts who just managed to edge the win. In the 89th minute the match was 11v11 and the visitors had a 2-3 lead. After the final whistle it was the hosts who lead 4-3 and the visitors had just 8 players left on the pitch. Pires was the hero, wrapping up his hat-trick in the 94th minute with his second goal from the spot.

Uth

Hoffenheim were at home to F.C Cologne for their Bundesliga fixture and in an incredible performance they scored all the goals in a 6-0 victory. Uth was absolutely unstoppable, scoring twice and assisting another two to secure a perfect rating and surely an Inform too.
