    So who makes up this week's top five? 

    1) JAMES RODRIGUEZ (Real Madrid) – 8.17

    After the opening day stalemate, Real responded with a 5-0 mauling of Real Betis, with James at the heart of things for Los Blancos. He set up Gareth Bale's opener with a teasing cross before curling home a free-kick and adding a beautifully executed overhead-kick. Not a bad day at the office. 

    2) ROBERTO SOLDADO (Villarreal) – 7.92

    The former Tottenham and Valencia striker netted in his second successive game as Villarreal beat Espanyol 3-1, his smart volley equalising. Soldado then provided both assists for Cedric Bakambu's brace, the first a precise through ball and the second a lay-back that put it on a plate for his team-mate. 

    3) CARLOS KAMENI (Malaga) – 7.71

    Barcelona may have beaten Malaga 1-0 but it could have been a whole lot worse had Kameni not been between the posts. The Cameroon goalkeeper thwarted Barca star Lionel Messi no fewer than four times in the match, the pick of which was a reflex save to deny him at the near post in the 58th minute.

    4) ANDRES INIESTA (Barcelona) – 7.65

    Though Barca were often frustrated against Malaga, Iniesta was in fine fettle – with raking cross-field passes and delicious drag-backs the order of the day for the Catalans' midfield metronome. 

    5) DIEGO GODIN (Atletico Madrid) – 7.62

    Atletico produced what was unquestionably the result of the weekend as they won 3-0 away at Sevilla. Rojiblancos captain Godin led by example, paying particularly close attention to returning Fernando Llorente – keeping him at bay was no mean feat.
