RB - Daniel Wass - Valencia CF

Never one to be defined by a position, Daniel Wass continues to show why he is a supreme talent at right-back for Valencia.

The Danish international assisted on a goal at Eibar on Saturday, and showcased excellent skill on the ball with two successful dribbles.

CB - Gerard Piqué - FC Barcelona

Barcelona were an unstoppable force at Levante this past weekend, as Gerard Piqué was involved at both ends of the pitch.

The centre-back helped to keep the clean sheet with three tackles, and he added the team’s fifth goal of the match in the second half.

CB - Stefan Savić - Atlético Madrid

Injuries have made things difficult for Atlético in central defence, but Los Rojiblancos enjoyed superb production from Stefan Savić at Real Valladolid on Saturday.

The 27-year-old recorded an assist on the game-winner late in the match, and won six aerial duels throughout the 90 minutes.

LB - Theo Hernández - Real Sociedad

Although his side would fall 1-0 at Getafe, Real Sociedad defender Theo Hernández put in yet another promising shift.

The Frenchman’s passing was outstanding, adding five tackles during the fixture as well.
