Who is the best player of last week? We name 5 candidates based on their ratings & performances. Please vote for the player who impressed you most last week.
Barcelona's El Clasicos hero Luis Suarez, Man United's Romelu Lukaku, Atletico Madrid's Alvaro Morata, Liverpool's Virgil van Dijk and Chelsea's Jorginho are the five nominees for our All Football Player of the Week, with all of them included in our All Football Team of the Week.
Luis Suarez (Barcelona)
The veteran striker scored twice, and forced an own goal - Never worry about Suarez's form against Real Madrid
Luis Suarez scored a pair of goals to help give Barcelona a 0-3 win over Real Madrid in the second leg of their Copa del Rey semifinal on Wednesday night at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu in Madrid, sending the Catalonians to the Final with a 1-4 win on aggregate.
The Uruguayan has scored 11 times in the 14 games he has played against their great rivals. There is no year in which he has not found the net against Los Blancos.
Romelu Lukaku (Man United)
Lukaku scored 4 goals in two games, Man United return to Top 4 - Solskjaer effects still going on
After two goals against Crystal Palace on Wednesday saw him enter the Premier League's top 20 scorers (now 113 goals), Romelu Lukaku, leading his side to a crucial 3-2 win over Southampton which puts them back in the top four of the Premier League.
For this hot form, Lukaku provided ample ammunition for the critics who say that he is not suited to the fluid, attacking brand of football that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is trying to implement at Old Trafford.
Alvaro Morata (Atletico Madrid)
Old home, new life - Morata bagged double to send Atletico Madrid five points clear of city rivals Real with a win at Real Sociedad.
A pair of Alvaro Morata headers was all Atletico Madrid needed to move past Real Sociedad 2-0 and keep pace with Barcelona at the top of the La Liga table.
Morata failed to find the net in his first four Atletico appearances after joining in January in a deal until the end of the 2019-20 season. But he has now scored three times in his past two games after last weekend's goal against Villarreal.
The win leaves Atleti seven behind Barcelona, but keeps pace with the La Liga leaders with 12 matches to go.
Virgil van Dijk (Liverpool)
World's most expensive defender, February's nominee for Premier League Player of the Month - Virgil van Dijk showed his world-class performance again this week.
Van Dijk scored two goals in Liverpool's 5-1 Watford rout, although Liverpool suffered a disappointing draw 3 days later in the Merseyside derby but Virgil van Dijk again stood out for the Reds, he made more clearances vs Everton (13) than any other Liverpool player has managed in a Premier League game so far this season; his joint-personal-best tally for the club
Virgil Van Dijk currently is the best defender in the Premier League. Maybe there is no player in defensive position, who is consistently as good as he is.
Jorginho (Chelsea)
jOrGinHo OnLy pAsSeS
Jorginho created three chances against Fulham; the joint-most he has created in a Premier League game this season. A forward pass as well... right into the back of the net.
Jorginho scores only his 2nd club goal since November 2017, 3 days later after he set a new Premier League record for the most passes (2,332 now is 2,404) made in one Premier League season without recording a single assist vs Tottenham.

See you next week!

Lukaku was amazing and he deserves it. Ole has changed lukaku back to his form. And he's scoring in almost all games recently.

Why does Barca/Real Madrid fans believe that there players always deserve Best player award. No doubt Lukaku deserves more than anyone in the team. Lukaku's goal made Manu win and earned more crucial points than Suarez goals. He scored more goal which was more impactful than Suarez. Please be fair and vote the person who deserves it.

Luis Suarez deserve it because he played two El Clasico away matches and has 2 goals. Lukaku played with small team Southampton, Liverpool played with a good team but the match ended 0:0.. Jorginho played with small team.. Morata too played with a good team. So all of this people don’t know football just voting anyhow. Suarez deserve this scoring 2 goals in El Clasico is not easy and an away match

It has to be lukaku. Improved first touch, round out he had abs, found out he was generous, scored two goals with his weak foot, scored a long distant goal with his weak foot, scored a goal in fergie time, took unites back to top 4. Lukaku for you this week

Of course the Barca fans will vote for Suarez and the United fans for Lukaku but lets be real, Van Dijk has been sublime and is not only the best defender in the league but also Liverpools best player. It's a shame people in football nowadays get mesmerised by goals and assists and dont give credit to the players at the back. VVD for me is the player of the week. Liverpool would be 4th or lower without him. Insane player.
