Formation: 4-2-3-1
Goalkeeper
Piet Velthuizen (Vitesse): The highly-rated goalkeeper put in a great performance against Twente, but was eventually unable to help his side to a good result. Velthuizen made a great save to deny Ronnie Stam in the second half, but could do nothing about Bryan Ruiz’s goal.
Defence
Paul Verhaegh (Vitesse): The experienced defender successfully coped with in-form winger Miroslav Stoch and was unlucky to be on the losing side. Verhaegh appears to be ready for the next step in his career and Vitesse will face a tough battle to hold on their captain.
Ron Vlaar (Feyenoord): Vlaar was able to cope with the threat of the Utrecht attacking line with ease, largely keeping promising youngster Ricky van Wolfswinkel at bay. The towering centre-back competed for every ball and was solid as a rock in the Feyenoord defence.
Toby Alderweireld (Ajax): The Belgian youngster was very strong in the air and kept in-form striker Michal Papadopulos at bay. Alderweireld hardly put a foot wrong throughout the game and provided the assist for Ajax’s second goal.
Vurnon Anita (Ajax): Outstanding display from the young Ajax defender. He set up De Zeeuw for his side’s opener in the 5-1 thrashing of Heerenveen and made some impressive runs forward. Never really troubled by the Heerenveen attackers in his defensive duties.
Defensive Midfield
Demy de Zeeuw (Ajax): The Dutch international helped Ajax to a comfortable 5-1 home win against Heerenveen with yet another commanding performance. De Zeeuw capped a fine game with a brace to help Ajax to a 2-0 lead.
Ibrahim Afellay (PSV): Afellay was once again the key man for PSV in their victory against Heracles. The versatile midfielder produced some mazy dribbles, accurate passing and scored a fine goal to gift the Eindhoven side the lead seconds before the interval.
Attacking Midfield
Saidi (NEC): The speedy winger returned to the NEC starting XI after a lengthy dispute about his contract and justified his place emphatically. The attacker scored twice to help NEC in secure a point and was a constant threat with his runs down the right wing.
Keisuke Honda (VVV): The Japanese star once again demonstrated his ability to open up a defence with one brilliant move in the 5-0 win against Sparta. Honda was involved in both of Sandro Calabro’s goals and put in an excellent display.
Jeremain Lens (AZ): Lens was one of the best men on the pitch in AZ’s 4-2 away win against Roda. The versatile attacker went by his direct opponent like he was a puppet more than once and netted a brace to help the Dutch titleholders to the full three points.
Forward
Charlison Benschop (RKC): The youngster played a major role in his side’s third win of the season. Benschop netted a brace and caused the Groningen defence all kinds of trouble with his opportunistic play.
Honourable mentions:
Bryan Ruiz (Twente), Rasmus Elm (AZ), Matthew Amoah (NAC), Marko Pantelic, Luis Suarez, Urby Emanuelson (Ajax), Leonardo (NAC), Balazs Dzsudzsak, Ola Toivonen (PSV), Leroy Fer (Feyenoord), Mihai Nesu (Utrecht), Sandro Calabro (VVV)
