Each week, we will bring you the best performers across Europe’s top five leagues (English Premier League, German Bundesliga, Spanish LaLiga, French Ligue 1 and Italian Serie A) using the unique WhoScored ratings system.
The ratings are based on a comprehensive algorithm that uses Opta data during live matches, with over 200 raw statistics, that gives us a single rating from 1-10 (1 being bad; 10 being excellent) weighted according to a player’s influence within a game.
Find out more about how the ratings are calculated at WhoScored here. And these are the top players from the last round of action.

Goalkeeper: Finn Dahmen (Augsburg | Bundesliga) – 8.60
Augsburg goalkeeper Dahmen is the No. 1 after a heroic performance in a 1-1 draw with Cologne. The 25-year-old was a solid last line of defence for the Fuggerstädter as he made 10 saves in the stalemate, the most in a Bundesliga match this season.
Centre-back: Adrien Tamèze (Torino | Serie A) – 8.19 rating
Torino made it back-to-back league wins at Sassuolo‘s expense as Il Toro earned a 2-1 home victory on Monday night. Tameze was directly involved in both goals, having provided his first and second league assists of the season from two goal-scoring chances created. In addition, the 29-year-old found a teammate with 93.6% of his 78 attempted passes in a dominant display.
Centre-back: Ronald Araújo (Barcelona | La Liga) – 8.01
Barcelona’s matchwinner from Saturday’s 1-0 win at Real Sociedad joins Tameze at the back. Araujo popped up with a late header to secure the points for Xavi’s side as the centre-back got the better of Álex Remiro with one of three efforts on goal. The Uruguay international was key in securing a clean sheet as he made six clearances and won five aerial duels.
Centre-back: Soungoutou Magassa (Monaco | Ligue 1) – 7.89
Monaco got their Ligue 1 title push back on track with a 2-0 win over Brest on Sunday afternoon and they have youngster Magassa to thank for ensuring a clean sheet on home turf. The 20-year-old ended the game with seven tackles, three interceptions and three clearances as Monaco bounced back from their 2-0 loss at Lille the previous week.
