Al-Nassr's Cristiano Ronaldo is only third on the list of top players in the Saudi Pro League, despite his great form. Here is a list compiled by Sofascore (via SportBible) that ranks midfielder Al Fateh Mourad Batna at the top with an average match rating of 8.11 for his seven goals and seven assists during this period.

Morocco is closely followed by Al Ittihad's Igor Coronado, who is in second place with an average rating of 8.09 for his nine-goal contribution. Despite scoring 16 goals in 17 appearances for Al-Nassr this season, Cristiano Ronaldo is in third place with an average rating of 8.07.

His total is more than the combined Batna and Coronado, and the Portuguese also has seven assists for his name. In fourth place is Ronaldo's former Real Madrid team-mate and current Al Ittihad striker Karim Benzema, who averages 8.03 for his ninth goal in the SPL. Cristiano Ronaldo, meanwhile, is the first high-profile player to transfer to the SPL, joining Al-Nassr in January this year.
