Ibrahim Sadiq, with 5 key passes. Next: Seiya Maikuma 2, Wouter Goes 1.

Ibrahim Sadiq generated 5 key passes in AZ Alkmaar's 3–0 win over RKC Waalwijk. Sadiq's creative output comfortably outshone Seiya Maikuma, who managed 2.

Which RKC Waalwijk player won the most duels?

Chris Lokesa, with 12 duels won. Next: Richonell Margaret 5, Aaron Meijers 5.

Chris Lokesa won 12 duels for RKC Waalwijk, more than double Richonell Margaret and Aaron Meijers at 5 each. That individual physical effort, however, could not avert a 3–0 defeat to AZ Alkmaar.

How is the rating calculated?

The rating measures a single match: what the player produced against what they cost, compared with the average for their position in that league and season, and adjusted by position (a 70 for a forward is as hard to get as a 70 for a defender). A normal match is around 50, 70 is already very good and only one in a hundred goes above 80. It is not the NVP, which ranks the whole season.
