7: Domenico Criscito (Zenit)
The Italian defender has maintained his position as the top full-back in the ranking but moved up three places with his performance against Ural. His defensive display was key in Zenit keeping a clean sheet as he made six interceptions and won four tackles. Going forward he was a threat, his crosses creating two good chances.

14: Dušan Tadić (Southampton)
Southampton's Serbian playmaker moved up 18 places to 14th overall thanks to his impressive creative performance in Sunday's 3-1 win against Burnley. He produced 12 crosses, provided two through balls, created six chances for team-mates and had five attempts at goal.

15: Alexander Grünwald (Austria Wien)
Grünwald helped himself to a goal and an assist in his team's 2-0 win against Mattersburg, moving up 15 places in the FedEx Performance Zone in the process. He created two chances, produced three crosses and was constantly probing between the defensive and midfield lines as Mattersburg struggled to pick him up.

17: Charlie Austin (Southampton)
Another Southampton win (five in their last seven games in all competitions) provided Austin with a platform to shine once more; the former builder struck twice against Burnley. In the Saints' last six matches, he has scored seven goals – including two in his only UEFA Europa League outing to date.

18: Yunus Mallı (Mainz)
The Mainz attacking midfielder earned and converted a penalty for what proved to be the decisive goal in his team's 2-1 win over Darmstadt. The German-born Turkish international created four chances, found a team-mate with eight crosses, and had three dribbles, his display rocketing him up 22 places in the rankings.

26: Aritz Aduriz (Athletic)
After failing to score in his first three Liga matches this season, Aduriz has found his goalscoring boots with five in his last five league matches. Top scorer in last season's UEFA Europa League, his latest came – along with an assist – in a 3-2 win in the Basque derby against Real Sociedad.
