Player to watch: Santiago Gimenez
Despite missing more than a few games this season, Gimenez is once again proving he is one of the best forwards in the Eredivisie. So far, the Mexican attacker has seven goals in only 10 appearances in the Eredivisie and he's the player to watch as Feyenoord take on Willem II on Saturday.
