Their impact in gameplay brought some players here, while the importance of goals brought others.
Picking the outright brightest star is never easy, and sometimes blinding. There were many bright spots over the weekend, but these are the men that were able to make our list.
The final shortlist for #SOTW included…
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (Borussia Dortmund – Borussia Monchengladbach) – German Bundesliga
Bayer Oumar Niasse (Everton – AFC Bournemouth) English Premier League
Alvaro Morata (Stoke City – Chelsea) English Premier League
Paulo Dybala (Juventus – Torino) Italian Serie A
Danilo D’Ambrosio (Inter Milan – Genoa) Italian Serie A
But the SOTW will have to go to
Dani Ceballos
(Deportivo Alavés – Real Madrid) – Spanish La Liga
Scoring a brace (including the winning goal) in his La Liga debut. Important goals that kept Real Madrid from dropping points that would have put a lot of pressure on the league title holders.
