Which Nice defender topped the rankings in Ligue 1 for Gameweek 6?

Unusually, there was no room for any Paris Saint-Germain players in the WhoScored Team of the Week for gameweek six in Ligue 1, but in their absence stepped forward Nice left-back Ricardo Pereira, whose rating of 8.61 was enough to earn him the top honour this weekend and also a spot in the European XI.

Pereira, 21, will be afforded more chances to impress in the Nice starting fold this season following the departure of Jordan Amavi over the summer and if he can continue to put in the sort of performances that saw him awarded the WhoScored man of the match in their 3-1 win away to Bastia then Claude Puel looks to have another real prospect on his hands.

The Portuguese full-back was not only a threat going forward but he proved a dependable defender when his team required his assistance. Pereira made at least one more tackle than any other player on the pitch (7) and played a direct hand in two of his sides’ goals (2 assists) on his way to a WhoScored rating of 8.61.
