Neymar, Paris Saint-Germain

Things continue to be working very nicely for Neymar on the pitch at PSG following his £200 million summer move from Barca.

He reportedly made the switch to step out of Lionel Messi's shadow and he is certainly running the show at his new club.

The Brazilian ended a run of two games without a goal or assist by having a hand in all four—two goals and two assists—as PSG thrashed Rennes 4-1 away on Saturday.

With his pace now up at 94 and dribbling a staggering 97, Neymar's latest in-form card is a gem and worthy of his consistent performances this season.

           

Luis Suarez, Barcelona

Suarez began the 2017-18 season in poor form, especially given his high standards. He was misfiring in front of goal and not adding a great deal elsewhere to the Barcelona side.

With ideal timing given the Clasico is approaching, though, he has turned his form around of late, and he netted a double in Barca's 4-0 defeat of Deportivo La Coruna on Sunday.

His goalscoring record for the Catalan club is remarkable, and it is little surprise he is now up at a rating of 92 for shooting.

Given that he is in the 80s for passing, pace, dribbling and shooting also Suarez's latest card with an overall rating of 93 is one to savour.

              

David Silva, Manchester City

Remarkably, City did not even need the wizardry of Silva to thump Tottenham Hotspur 4-1 last weekend.

However, he did score a double in a man-of-the-match display as City thrashed Swansea City 4-0 at the Liberty Stadium in their Wednesday clash last week, per Match of the Day presenter Gary Lineker:

He is a true magician with the ball at his feet and produces some mesmerising interplay with the other stars of the City team.

Outshining the likes of Kevin de Bruyne, Raheem Sterling and Sergio Aguero is a tough ask.

But the Spaniard managed it with aplomb against the Swans and has been deservedly rewarded with an in-form card, which sees him boosted from 87 overall to 90, with passing and dribbling both in the 90s.
