His body feints, roulettes, step-overs, nutmegs and sublime first touches thrill football fans in match after match. His dribbling qualities are instinctive. You've probably guessed who we're talking about: Neymar is the best dribbler in Ligue 1 Conforama this season. The Brazilian has run Ligue 1 Conforama defenders ragged in the current campaign, pulling off a clearly league-high 120 dribbles in just 15 appearances.

Neymar, a class above

Sometimes considered overly individualistic, Neymar looks to beat his man on the majority of occasions - but his success rate is through the roof. In addition to being the player who has made the most dribbles, he is also the one who has made the most dribbles (69), at a success rate of 57.5%.

Neymar is, however, not the only player at runaway league leaders Paris Saint-Germain to shine in this respect - Kylian Mbappé is second in terms of attempted and successful dribbles. PSG's No7 has made 87 dribbles at a rate of 52% in 20 games. He is ahead of another PSG player, Angel Di Maria, who has completed 47 out of 86 dribbles over 26 matches.

In terms of attempted dribbles, Angers' Sada Thioub (70) and Marseille's Bouna Sarr (69) complete the top five. However, the latter is not present in the ranking of the most effective - it's Reims' Moussa Doumbia who occupies the fourth place (43), while Thioub is fifth (42).

1. Neymar (PSG): 120
