Sporting and Casa Pia each have two players represented, as do Benfica, Estoril, and Rio Ave. The FC Porto winger succeeds Pavlidis as the star of the round.

FC Porto’s victory in Alverca (3-0), in the 15th round of the League , not only allowed them to continue their winning streak, but also to dominate the ideal “eleven” of the round. After calculating and compiling the ratings from Maisfutebol and SofaScore = our statistical partner = the Dragons are represented by Diogo Costa, Martim Fernandes, Pablo Rosario and Borja Sainz.

Compared to the last matchday, the squad has undergone a complete overhaul, with Borja Sainz succeeding Pavlidis as the main protagonist. The FC Porto winger scored twice in Alverca and, in 80 minutes, accumulated four successful dribbles, one interception, seven ball recoveries, 19 passes = out of 22 = and seven duels won out of 18.

Between the posts emerges Diogo Costa, guarded by two Porto players (Martim Fernandes and Rosario), a former Porto player (Otamendi, Benfica’s captain who won the decisive penalty against Famalicão ) and a Sporting player, Ricardo Mangas, who provided the assist in Guimarães.

In midfield, besides Sainz, Casa Pia is represented by Larrazabal and Nhaga = decisive for the victory in Tondela (2-1) = while Estoril has Holsgrove, who stood out in the triumph over Sp. Braga (1-0). Up front, André Luiz, from Rio Ave, scored in Barcelos and was a dangerous player. As for Ioannidis, the Greek scored in Sporting’s victory against Vitória de Guimarães (4-1).
