Goalkeeper: Gregor Kobel, FC Augsburg
Had an outstanding game against Borussia Dortmund and made several great saves to help Augsburg to a win.
Right-back: Lukas Klostermann, RB Leipzig (3)
Was solid defensively, hit his teammates with 75 percent of his passes and scored the winning goal in RB Leipzig's 1-0 win over Nürnberg.
Centre-back: Ozan Kabak, VfB Stuttgart
It's not often you see a centre-back score a brace, but that's exactly what 18-year-old Ozan Kabak did in his side's 5-1 win over Hannover 96. The young defender, who joined Stuttgart in January, seems very mature for his age and already looks like a great signing.
Centre-back: Niklas Stark, Hertha BSC (4)
Was unlucky to score an own goal as he deflected a shot from Levin Öztunali into his own goal. But Stark, who won 85 percent of his duels, generally put in a great performance and also scored Hertha's 2-1 winner later on.
Left-back: Filip Kostic, Eintracht Frankfurt (3)
The wing-back worked tirelessly in his side's dramatic 3-2 win over Hoffenheim. Kostic was a constant threat on the left-hand side and had a foot in the first goal as his free kick deflected off Ante Rebic into the goal. In total, Kostic took four shots during the game - more than any other Frankfurt player.
Right midfielder: Benito Raman, Fortuna Düsseldorf
Beautifully set up Dawid Kownacki's 2-0 goal and later scored himself in his side's 4-0 win over Schalke 04.
Central midfielder: Charles Aranguiz, Bayer Leverkusen (3)
Aranguiz has been highly impressive since Peter Bosz took over as Leverkusen coach - both defensively and offensively. The Chilean midfielder was everywhere in Leverkusen's 2-0 win over Freiburg and scored the first goal with a volley after a corner kick.
Central midfielder: Thiago Alcantara, Bayern München (3)
The midfield maestro pulled the strings in midfield and provided an assist in Bayern's 5-1 win over Gladbach.
Left midfielder: Steven Zuber, VfB Stuttgart (2)
The Hoffenheim loanee scored for the third game in a row as Stuttgart thrashed Hannover 96 5-1. This time around, the midfielder netted a brace and also provided an assist.
Striker: Robert Lewandowski, Bayern München (4)
Got back on the scoresheet after a two-game goal drought as he netted twice in Bayern's 5-1 victory.
Striker: Dong-won Ji, FC Augsburg
Punished his former side as he scored both Augsburg's goals in the 2-1 win over Borussia Dortmund. Ji's second goal - an audacious chip - was particularly well-taken.
