Pro Combat Player Of The Week

Forget goals. Pro Combat Player of the Week is about much more. It’s about covering every blade of grass. Sparking every attack. Winning every 50/50 ball.

All those things that don’t make the score sheet, but decide the game.

Every week, you get the choice of three players who embodied Pro Combat in their last match. Then, vote for who you think owned the game.

Clubs are jockeying for position as they head toward the winter break. Who stepped up this week? Here's the three we've selected who exemplified what it means to be a Pro Combat Player. Now you tell us which battled the best.



Carlos Puyol
Madrid got the ball into Barcelona's defensive third, but thanks to Puyol, they went no further. Several last minute tackles proved decisive in killing shots at goal. The captian's ability to not only direct a defense but also be first to step in and make game saving tackles made it obvious he would warrant the highest player rating on the field.



Zlatan Ibrahimovic
If you are going to keep one of your best as a substitute, would you want him to do anything more than what Zlatan did this week, be a clear cut difference maker. That's exactly what the Swedish forward did by slotting home a slick game-winner five minutes after he stepped onto the field in the most high pressure of situations.



Didier Drogba
It's not about his two goals. It's about doing it again and again against crosstown rivals Arsenal - 10 goals in 11 games to be exact. On Sunday, Drogba was a monster, his power and pressure lifting him above all others. On the field that day, there was no equal.
