Who has shone, who has fallen off? blue Sport follows the performances of the Swiss mercenaries very closely.
🇩🇪 Bundesliga
Bayer Leverkusen
Granit Xhaka
Bayer Leverkusen drew 2-2 away at Werder Bremen and are third in the table after eight rounds, five points behind leaders Bayern Munich and RB Leipzig. Xhaka won many duels against Bremen and kept a cool head under pressure. However, the national team captain's game was not free of mistakes.
Dortmund
Gregor Kobel
After losing 5-2 away to Real Madrid in the Champions League, Dortmund also lost 2-1 away to Augsburg in the league. While Kobel can be absolved of any blame in Madrid, the Nati goalkeeper also had to put up with criticism at the weekend. He showed weaknesses in his passing on several occasions, causing problems for his teammates. Even Claude-Maurice's equalizer from 28 metres does not appear to be completely unstoppable.
Gladbach
Jonas Omlin
Gladbach draw 1-1 away at Mainz with Omlin still missing through injury.
Gladbach
Nico Elvedi
Nico Elvedi is also on the injured list for the weekend.
Mainz 05
Silvan Widmer
Widmer on the other side was substituted for Mainz in the 87th minute and received a yellow card shortly afterwards. The result remains unchanged.
Augsburg
Ruben Vargas
Vargas is still missing from the 2-1 win over Dortmund due to an ankle injury.
Stuttgart
Fabian Rieder
Rieder is substituted in the 62nd minute against Holstein Kiel with the score at 2-0. The game eventually ends 2:1.
Stuttgart
Leonidas Stergiou
Rieder's teammate Leonidas Stergiou is still out injured.
Wolfsburg
Cédric Zesiger
Zesiger seems to have lost his place as a regular for the Wolves and is missing for the third game in a row. The game against St. Pauli ends goalless.
Frankfurt
Aurèle Amenda
Amenda makes his 3rd Bundesliga appearance. The defender is substituted in the 82nd minute against Union Berlin with the score at 1:1. He helps his team, which is outnumbered from the 77th minute onwards, to secure the draw. However, the refereeing team did almost more to ensure that Frankfurt did not lose. Union's managing director of professional football Horst Heldt is furious after the game because his team was denied a goal in stoppage time. "We lost two points today and the referee is taking them home," Heldt said bluntly.
Freiburg
Bruno Ifechukwu Ogbus
The 18-year-old once again misses out in the 3-1 defeat against RB Leipzig.
Freiburg
Johan Manzambi
Manzambi, who celebrated his 19th birthday on October 14, started for the second team. There Freiburg suffered a 1-0 defeat against 1. Göppinger SV.
VfL Bochum
Noah Loosli
New coach, new luck? Not at all! Loosli is back on the substitutes' bench, but does not make an appearance. And the game against Bayern Munich is lost 5-0.
🏴 Premier League
Manchester City
Manuel Akanji
Akanji plays the full distance in the 1-0 win over Southampton and does his job with aplomb. Because Liverpool dropped points in their top-of-the-table clash against Arsenal (2-2) on Sunday evening, Manchester City are top of the table after matchday 9.
Newcastle
Fabian Schär
Newcastle lose 2-1 away to Chelsea, with Schär yellow-carded in the 22nd minute for a hard tackle. He can do little about the goals conceded.
🇮🇹 Serie A
Inter Milan
Yann Sommer
Yann Sommer handed out gifts in the Wankdorf on Wednesday, but only after the game. After the lucky 1-0 win, he marched into the YB dressing room with a plastic bag filled with Inter shirts and fulfilled the Bernese players' jersey wishes. Inter Milan and Juventus Turin, on the other hand, gave each other absolutely nothing in Sunday evening's thrilling clash. The game ended 4-4, with Sommer not pulling off any mega-bucks, although he didn't have his best day either. At 4-4, for example, he got his fingertips to the ball but was unable to steer the shot around the post.
AC Milan
Noah Okafor
Heavy rainfall in the Italian region of Emilia-Romagna meant that the match between FC Bologna and AC Milan first had to be called off and then postponed. AC Milan will host league leaders Napoli on Tuesday.
Bologna
Michel Aebischer
So much water has fallen from the sky in the region around Bologna over the past few days that it was not possible to play the match properly.
Bologna
Dan Ndoye
The unexpected break may not come at all inconvenient for the four Swiss players affected by the match being called off, as their teams are also competing in the Champions League, which at least gives them a little more time to recover.
Bologna
Remo Freuler
Bologna return to action on Tuesday, when they face Cagliari away from home in the league.
Empoli
Nicolas Haas
Haas was substituted in the 80th minute with the score at 1-0. Half a minute later, Parma scored to make the final score 1:1. However, Haas was not at fault for the goal.
Parma
Simon Sohm
Simon Sohm plays as usual for Parma. After the game, he will probably mourn the missed victory, as his team-mate Bonny hammers a penalty against the crossbar in the 83rd minute. In the fourth minute of stoppage time, Sohm is cautioned for a foul.
🇪🇸 LaLiga
Betis Sevilla
Ricardo Rodriguez
Ricardo Rodriguez does not play in the 1-0 win over Atlético Madrid.
Sevilla
Djibril Sow
Sow was substituted in the 80th minute of the 2-0 away win against Espanyol Barcelona. Sow almost makes it 3-0 in the 11th minute of stoppage time, but the goalkeeper makes a miraculous save to turn the ball around the post.
Real Valladolid
Eray Cömert
Cömert once again plays in central midfield in the 2-1 defeat against Villarreal. He was substituted in the 88th minute with a yellow card.
🇫🇷 Ligue 1
AS Monaco
Philipp Köhn
Köhn has been on the bench since Radoslaw Majecki returned from a long injury lay-off. And Monaco lost for the first time, going down to a 2-1 defeat in Nice.
AS Monaco
Denis Zakaria
Denis Zakaria is only on the bench for once. But Monaco paid dearly for resting him. The captain is missed on the pitch.
AS Monaco
Breel Embolo
After his strong performance in the 5-1 Champions League win over Red Star Belgrade, in which Embolo scored and assisted, the striker now scores his first goal of the season in the league. He put his team ahead in the 39th minute, but Monaco returned empty-handed from Nice.
Marseille
Ulisses Garcia
Garcia is missing through injury for the thrilling clash against PSG. Marseille had to play shorthanded from the 20th minute onwards and lost 3-0 at home.
Toulouse
Vincent Sierro
Led by captain Vincent Sierro, Toulouse got off to a dream start away at bottom club Montpellier and led 3-0 after just 27 minutes. Nothing changed. Sierro was substituted in the 84th minute.
Montpellier
Becir Omeragic
Omeragic is out injured at bottom club Montpellier.
Montpellier
Gabriel Barès
Gabriel Barès makes his third substitute appearance of the season. He was substituted in the 85th minute with the score at 0-3 - but such a short outing is not really much fun.
Stade Brest
Edimilson Fernandes
Fernandes is in the starting eleven against Reims and is substituted in the 60th minute with the score at 2-1. The result remained the same.
Other Swiss players abroad
Greenville (3rd division USA)
Lyam MacKinnon
Lyam MacKinnon scores twice in the 5-1 win over Tormenta and finishes the league phase in 4th place thanks to the victory and thus has home advantage in the play-off quarter-finals on his side. MacKinnon is not only happy about making the play-offs, but also about the "Golden Boot" award, which he wins as the league's top scorer. The 25-year-old has recorded 16 goals and 6 assists in 22 games, an incredible haul. Perhaps a Swiss club will soon be interested - the professional footballer, who trained at Lausanne-Sport, would not be averse, as he revealed a few weeks ago in an interview with blue Sport.
Benfica Lisbon
Zeki Amdouni
Amdouni was substituted after just over an hour against Rio Ave with the score at 3-0. In the 81st minute, he scored the final goal to make it 5-0. From around seven meters, he smashed the ball into the net after a hullabaloo.
Feyenoord Rotterdam
Jordan Lotomba
Lotomba has injured his thigh and is therefore not in the squad for the 2-0 win against Utrecht. During the week, he was still in the starting eleven for the 3-1 Champions League win over Benfica Lisbon.
Fortuna Sittard
Ryan Fosso
Fosso was substituted in the 81st minute against Groningen with the score at 0-0. Five minutes later, his team celebrated their only goal of the evening, scored by the unlucky Bacuna, who buxomized the ball into his own goal.
Ludogorets Razgrad
Kwadwo Duah
Leaders Ludogorets Razgrad play against ZSKA 1948 Sofia on Monday (17:00).
Bruges
Ardon Jashari

Standard Liège
Andi Zeqiri
In the 3-0 defeat against Royal Antwerp, Zeqiri was substituted in the 76th minute with the score at 2-0.
KAA Gent
Franck Surdez
Surdez makes his 11th start for Gent in their 12th league game, but fails to get going against Genk and is unable to prevent a 2-0 defeat. The 22-year-old was substituted in the 79th minute.
Midtjylland
Kevin Mbabu
Mbabu was in the starting eleven for the 2-0 win against Aarhus, as he had been during the week in the 1-0 Europa League win against Union Saint-Gilloise, after missing the previous week's 3-2 defeat through injury. And Mbabu not only played in the game, he also opened the scoring, scoring his first goal as a Midtjylland player.
AEK Athens
Steven Zuber
AEK Athens surprisingly lose 1-0 away to Panserraikos. Zuber is again not in the squad.
Sturm Graz
Gregory Wüthrich
Sturm Graz celebrate a 2-1 away win against LASK. Wüthrich is still missing through injury.
RB Salzburg
Bryan Okoh
Salzburg are held to a 0-0 draw by Wolfsberger AC. Okoh is not in the squad.
BW Linz
Silvan Wallner
Wallner scores an own goal against TSV Hartberg in the 6th minute. In the end they lose 2-1.
Mvogo concedes three goals against Rodez AF away from home, but his team still pick up a point and remain second in the table after ten matchdays.
HSV (Bundesliga 2)
Miro Muheim
Miro Muheim is the assist king in Bundesliga 2. The 26-year-old full-back delivered his seventh assist in his tenth game against SV Elversberg. In the end, it did little good, as HSV lost the game 2:4.
HSV (Bundesliga 2)
Silvan Hefti
Hefti is still suffering from back problems and is once again unavailable for HSV.
1. FC Kaiserslautern (Bundesliga 2)
Jan Elvedi
Elvedi played in the back three in the 4-3 away win against Fortuna Düsseldorf.
Karlsruher SC (Bundesliga 2)
Andrin Hunziker
Hunziker is substituted in the 76th minute when the score is already 3-1 to Hertha Berlin and it stays that way until the final whistle.
Karlsruher SC (Bundesliga 2)
Noah Rupp
Rupp is again not called up for the match against Hertha Berlin.
Schalke 04 (Bundesliga 2)
Adrian Gantenbein
Gantenbein is missing for the 4-3 home defeat against SpVgg Greuther Fürth due to muscular complaints.
SSV Ulm 1846 (Bundesliga 2)
Aaron Keller
Keller was absent for a long time due to illness, but has now made an impressive return. He made the starting eleven against Darmstadt 98 and scored in the 18th minute to make it 1:1. He did not return to the pitch after the break, as he was probably not yet fit enough for 90 minutes. The result remains the same after Keller's goal.
Queens Park Rangers (Championship)
Michael Frey
Michi Frey misses the draw against Burnley due to a calf injury.
Leeds United (Championship)
Isaac Schmidt
Schmidt sits on the bench for the 0-0 draw against Bristol City.

NK Osijek
Kemal Ademi
Ademi is on the bench against Dinamo Zagreb.
SH Shenhua (China)
Cephas Malele
Malele scores a penalty in stoppage time against Shenzhen Xinpengcheng to make it 2-2 - his 16th goal of the season. But because it was not enough to win, Shanghai Port moved past Shenhua in the SH Shenhua table and have one point more to their name after 29 rounds.
Nantong Zhiyun (China)
Ming-Yang Yang
Ming-Yang Yang prepares the goal in the 3-1 defeat against Beijing Guoan to make it 2-1 at the interval. The team at the bottom of the table is in danger of being relegated soon, but nothing is set in stone yet.
Atlético Ottawa (Canada)
Ruben del Campo Ferreira
Ruben del Campo Ferreira and Atlético Ottawa win the wild quarter-final against York United FC on penalties. Ottawa gave away the win in the 4th minute of stoppage time and had to go into extra time. Ruben del Campo Ferreira converted a penalty after two minutes to make it 2:1, but the score was 2:2 just two minutes later. The game was ultimately decided in a penalty shoot-out. Ferreira kept his nerve and converted his attempt.
Universitatea Cluj
Jasper van der Werff
Universitatea Cluj will play on Monday evening.

Al-Wasl
Haris Seferovic

Al-Qadsiah (Saudi Pro League)
Cameron Puertas
Puertas was substituted in the fourth minute of stoppage time in the 2-1 win over Damac. Puertas is yet to score his first goal in the league this season. Puertas knows a thing or two about waiting, cue Swiss passport ...
Boca Juniors
Lucas Blondel
Blondel is still not ready for action after tearing his cruciate ligament. However, a return should be possible soon, as Blondel is stepping on the gas pedal, as a look at his Instagram account shows.
