Player form rankings: Sibling rivalry as Thorgan Hazard joins Eden among Europe's elite

While Eden Hazard remains top of the form rankings, despite seeing his rating drop following a subdued display against Manchester United, he is joined in the leaderboard this week by younger brother Thorgan.

With a goal and an assist at the weekend for high-flying Gladbach, the winger has now had a direct hand in seven goals in his last six Bundesliga appearances and jumps 24 places as a result, all the way up into fifth.

Suso is up into second despite a quite showing in the Milan derby, with Spaniard racking up five assists and two goals over his last six appearances, while Lionel Messi drops one place to third. The Argentine scored and registered an assist inside 26 minutes against Sevilla but was forced off with a broken arm.

Cristiano Ronaldo moves up one place into fourth following his fifth league goal for Juventus, while a number of Serie A stars have leapt into the top 20 elsewhere.

Lucas Leiva and Lazio teammate Ciro Immobile climb 12 and 34 places respectively (into ninth and 20th) having impressed in a 2-0 win at Parma, whose goalkeeper Luigi Sepe (17th) performed more heroics to keep the scores level until the 81st minute, producing seven saves.

Fernandinho is the second highest riser onto the leaderboard following an assist and stunning goal against Burnley, up 37 places into tenth, but Angel Di Maria climbed the highest after a man of the match display against Amiens.

The Argentine registered his fourth and fifth assists of the Ligue 1 season, created five chances, mustered four shots and completed three dribbles and tackles apiece for a rating of 9.24, elevating his average over his last six appearances to 7.59. He’s up a whopping 60 places this week, ranking 15th, but it’s the Hazard show right now, with Eden and Thorgan lighting up the Premier League and Bundesliga.
