Ruben Neves - Al Hilal

The Portugal international has proven to be the finest orchestrator of play in this season’s RSL, surpassing everyone for the most dangerous passes (those that penetrate opposing defences).

Neves is the first player to exceed 2,000 passes in 2025-26, while he is tied with teammate Malcom for the most goal contributions (16) for Al Hilal.

Cristiano Ronaldo - Al Nassr

The two-time golden boot winner’s influence can be measured in many ways, and he’s competing for the top spot in the RSL Player Performance Index - our fully automated playing rating.

Ronaldo has proved integral to Al Nassr’s pursuit of the 2025-26 title, scoring 26 times and recently becoming only the third player of the SPL Era to reach 100 goals. Ronaldo has also collected seven Man of the Match awards.

Joao Felix - Al Nassr

Enjoying a debut RSL season to remember, the summer signing has set a record for most hat-tricks in a season by a registered midfielder, netting three - including in the season opener.

Felix leads the league in pre-assist play with four, but more tellingly heads the 2025-26 assist charts, with 12. Allied to his 20 goals, he sits joint-second in goal contributions.
