GK: Tom de Graaff (PEC Zwolle) - 7.7
Not many star performances from goalkeepers this week, even though we saw five of them keep clean sheets. PEC Zwolle's Tom de Graaff came out on top, however, with his four saves in PEC's 1-0 rebound win over Fortuna Sittard.
DEF: Lucas Rosa (Ajax) - 7.8
After a strong midweek performance in Ajax's 4-2 UEFA Champions League win over Qarabag, Brazilian full-back Lucas Rosa kept his spot in the starting lineup for the all-important Klassieker against Feyenoord.
Rosa, who's growing into somewhat of a derby specialist after last year's stellar performance against PSV, dismantled Feyenoord's left wing play by winning possession six times, winning 6/7 ground duels and completing two tackles.
DEF: Jeff Hardeveld (Telstar) - 8.5
Whenever a defender scores twice in one game, it's practically impossible to omit them from a list of standout stars. Jeff Hardeveld is no exception to the rule after his decisive performance in Telstar's 2-2 draw with high-flying NEC. The tall full-back headed in the opener before giving Telstar the lead again with a lovely effort in the 61st minute.
Hardeveld was crucial in defence, too, with five won duels, four won tackles, and three interceptions.
DEF: Bart van Rooij (FC Twente) - 7.7
In a game dominated by Sam Lammers' brace and FC Twente's magnificent tifo ahead of Sunday's clash with Go Ahead Eagles, right-back Bart van Rooij quietly played a more than decent game.
As Twente extended their unbeaten streak to nine games, Van Rooij created three chances, recorded 83 touches and won three duels in the 2-0 win over the Eagles.
MID: Joey Veerman (PSV) - 8.1
Guess who's back.
Joey Veerman, PSV's undisputed midfield general, was the deciding factor for the Eindhoven giants once again in their 4-3 win over Heracles Almelo. Veerman scored the 2-0 in the 70th minute and created a total of five chances, completed 21 passes in the final third and delivered four crosses. There's not much Veerman could do wrong in his current form.
MID: Guus Til (PSV) - 8.0
Next to Veerman, Guus Til continued to show his scoring prowess with his eighth goal in his last seven games across all competitions. Til has been in unbelievable form since the start of October: the midfielder has had a goal contribution in 11 of the 14 matches since October 1st.
Against Heracles, Til also created three chances and maintained a 100% pass completion rate in the final third.
MID: Stije Resink (FC Groningen) - 8.8
After a week filled with rumours of a January move to Ajax, FC Groningen captain Stije Resink showed his worth in a game dedicated to Groningen's former stadium. Wearing a special kit, Resink stole the show with two goals in the 3-0 win over FC Volendam.
The first, a beautiful first-time shot from outside the box, was the highlight of his performance, which also saw Resink complete 30 of 33 passes in the final third, win nine of 13 duels, and win two tackles.
MID: Darko Nejasmic (NEC) - 8.1
Whereas Jeff Hardeveld showed out for his attacking prowess, NEC's Darko Nejasmic showed his relentless defensive spirit in the 2-2 draw in Velsen-Zuid. The Croatian midfielder won possession an astonishing 11 times and won 8 of his 11 duels.
Besides that, Nejasmis led his team in completed passes (58/67) and notched the second-most touches for any NEC player with 88, just two fewer than Deveron Fonville.
MID: Davy Klaassen (Ajax) - 7.8
Many doubted Davy Klaassen's level after some of his earlier performances this season. Did he lose a step and become too slow? Was Father Time really catching up with the man they call 'Mr. 1-0'?
In his 18th Klassieker, Klaassen showed why he's a club legend by opening the scoring with a thunderous strike from distance. It cost him an eyebrow cut and some blood thanks to Lucas Rosa's celebrations, but it'll have all been worth it after the 31st opening goal of his Eredivisie career.
FW: Sam Lammers (FC Twente) - 9.2 (Player of the Week)
After struggling with several injuries throughout most of 2025, Sam Lammers showed his class in Twente's 2-0 win over Go Ahead Eagles. The former Atalanta, Frankfurt and Rangers striker was relentless in attack by generating 2.13 xG from six shots, recording a game-high 13 touches in the opposition's box, and completing all five of his dribbles.
Lammers, who also created three chances, was nigh on unstoppable in his personal duels, too, winning six of seven in that department. An excellent performance from the resurgent Lammers has deservedly earned him his first Player of the Week award.
FW: Oscar Gloukh (Ajax) - 7.9
In his first derby, midfielder Oscar Gloukh, the right winger on paper, showed a work rate Eredivisie fans hadn't seen during John Heitinga's reign - Ajax's number 10 won 7 of 9 duels, while also completing two dribbles and coming close to scoring twice. He also assisted Davy Klaassen's 1-0 and created one further chance.
