Borussia Dortmund ace Achraf Hakimi may have topped the WhoScored U21 form rankings for the last three weeks, but a 4-0 loss at Bayern Munich means a new face leads the way as Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester United stars just miss out on first...
After rising up to second in the U21 form standings, Lautaro Martinez drops up the top 10 on the leaderboard after a disappointing display as Inter secured a 2-1 win over Verona on Saturday. The Argentine failed to add to his five league goals this season, returning a WhoScored rating of 5.83 in the weekend's victory, and with an average of 7.19, the young strikers sits tenth in the rankings.
A new qualifier last week after entering the standings in fifth, Nicolo Zaniolo drops to ninth in the rankings on the back of a sub-par display as Roma fell to a 2-0 loss at Parma. While the young attacker has excelled for the Serie A side this season, an underwhelming performance saw Zaniolo's rating fall to 7.22.
8. Achraf Hakimi - Borussia Dortmund
Dropping a massive seven places in the U21 form guide, Achraf Hakimi may have finished last week as the in-form youngster in Europe, but his poor showing in Borussia Dortmund's 4-0 loss at Bayern Munich saw him plummet down the standings. Indeed, while his average rating was a 7.66 last week, that has fallen to 7.22 across his last six league appearances.
7. Zaydou Youssouf - Saint-Etienne
One of two new qualifiers in the U21 form rankings, Saint-Etienne have put in a number of vastly improved performances since Claude Puel took over the reins at the beginning of October. 20-year-old Zaydou Youssouf has impressed over his last six league outings, earning an average rating of 7.26 to occupy seventh.
Rising up two spots to sixth in the form rankings, Pervis Estupinan continues to shine for Osasuna in LaLiga with an average WhoScored rating of 7.35 over his last six league outings. While he failed to break the deadlock in Osasuna's 0-0 draw at Getafe, a rating of 7.56 ensured a rise up the standings.
Edging Estupinan into fifth with an average of 7.37, Dwight McNeil put in a man of the match display as Burnley earned a comfortable 3-0 win over West Ham on Saturday. The winger has now had a direct hand in three goals in his last four Premier League matches to help his push into the top five.
4. Trent Alexander-Arnold - Liverpool
With the same rating as McNeil (7.37), Trent Alexander-Arnold is knocked out of the top three with his average rating dropping from 7.57 last week. While he played a key role in Liverpool's 3-1 win over Manchester City, that performance pushed a fine showing against Chelsea out of the reckoning to knock the right-back off the podium.

3. Marcus Rashford - Manchester United
Having dropped to tenth last week, Marcus Rashford rises into third after notching his sixth league goal of the campaign in Manchester United's 3-1 win over Brighton. Three of Rashford's six league goals this season have come in his last four Premier League matches and it means his average WhoScored rating over his last six appearances is a notable 7.44.
Keeping his place in and around the top three, Tammy Abraham pips international teammate Rashford into second with a rating of 7.44. The England international reached double figures for goals with his second half strike in Chelsea's 2-0 win over Crystal Palace as he gears up for the international break in style.
Making quite the impact as the second new qualifier, Mounir Chouiar ends the gameweek atop the U21 form table. Surging into first, the 20-year-old scored his first goal of the season recently as Dijon upset the odds to secure a 2-1 win over PSG and with a WhoScored rating of 7.45, the Frenchman tops the leaderboard
