The fifth round of the J-League season was full of surprises and come-from-behind triumphs, as Goal.com picks out this week's top players in a 3-5-2 formation
| J-League Team Of The Week: Week 5 Weekly Roundup |
 |
| GOALKEEPER |
Seigo Narazaki
Nagoya Grampus
| The Grampus and national team veteran held high-flying Sagan Tosu scoreless, making several big saves in the second half. Narazaki's standout performance topped that of FC Tokyo's Shuichi Gonda, Sanfrecce's Shunsaku Nishikawa, and Reds' Nobuhiro Kato. |
| DEFENDERS |
 Keisuke Tsuboi Urawa Reds |
 Masato Morishige FC Tokyo |
 Takahiro Masukawa Nagoya Grampus |
||
|
Morishige was an instant selection after leading short-handed FC Tokyo to a victory not only through clutch defending, but through his last-minute header on a set piece. On the sides, Tsuboi earned his spot thanks to a steady performance while Masukawa's defensive cover greatly assisted his team-mates. |

| MIDFIELDERS |
 Mihail Mikic Sanfrecce Hiroshima |
 Kosuke Yamamoto Jubilo Iwata |
 Kim Bo-Kyung Cerezo Osaka |
 Yosuke Kashiwagi Urawa Reds |
 Marcio Richardes Urawa Reds |
|
| At the centre of midfield is Yamamoto, who scored Jubilo's second goal in their clash against league leaders Vegalta. To his right, Mikic sent several well-timed crosses that turned into offensive opportunities, while Bo-Kyung scored two goals from the left-hand side. In front of them are two Reds players; Kashiwagi showed his skills at both ends of the pitch while Richardes scored their second goal of the match and showed a return to form. |
