FanBants provides a weekly ranking of the top players in the English Premier League.
Here’s the power rankings for Gameweek 13:
Mohamed Salah
Last ranking: 3rd
There’s a new Sheriff in town!
Mohamed Salah climbs to the top of this week’s power rankings, following a brace against Southampton last weekend.
Currently in the final year of his Liverpool contract, Salah is playing some of his best football in a while.
The Egyptian winger is in imperious form, recording 16 goal involvements in only 12 games so far.
Erling Haaland
Last ranking: 1st
The current golden boot holder has left his throne.
Although Manchester City as a whole has been rather lacklustre in the last few game weeks, many would have expected Haaland to perform better.
Take nothing away from this dip in form, Haaland is still an elite striker, and is arguably the best finisher in the league.
He might reclaim top spot by this time next week, watch this space!
Matheus Cunha
Last ranking: Unranked
Show us a striker in better form than Wolves’ Matheus Cunha.
Despite looking like early relegation favourites, Wolves have steadied the ship, and are currently on a four match unbeaten run.
Cunha’s brilliance has been key to this run, as the Brazilian has scored three goals, and provided another three assists.
4.Bryan Mbuemo
Last ranking: 2nd
Arguably the breakout star of the season, Bryan Mbuemo drops out of the top 3 for the first time in a while.
Despite a recent dry spell, where the Cameroonian has only recorded a single assist in his last three games, Mbuemo still has respectable numbers this season.
The electric winger has contributed nine goal involvements (eight goals and one assist) so far, and he has the potential to deliver much more.
Bukayo Saka
Last ranking: Unranked
The star boy of The Hale end, Bukayo Shaka is firing on all cylinders this season.
The Gunners missed influential skipper Martin Odegaard earlier in the season, but Saka stepped up admirably, and helped Mikel Arteta’s men maintain their title charge.
A goal and an assist last week has deservedly earned Saka the final spot in our top 5.
Yoane Wissa
Last ranking: 4th
Yoane Wissa has shaken off injury, and is firing on all cylinders.
Wissa missed a month of action due to an injury against Manchester City.
He’s however made an emphatic return to the side, scoring a total of 7 goals so far in this campaign.
Nicolas Jackson
Last ranking: 5th
At the beginning of the season, Chelsea Legend John Obi Mikel challenged Nicolas Jackson to step up and play a bigger role leading the Chelsea attack.
Since then, the Senegalese forward has been in impressive form in front of goal, scoring 7 goals and assisting 3 goals in 12 games so far.
With Chelsea outside contenders for the league title, if Jackson continues in his rich vein of form, you can expect to see him higher in this list very soon.
Alexander Isak
Last ranking: 7th
Down one spot from last week, Alex Isak was uncharacteristically West Ham.
The big Swede is slowly becoming one of the best strikers in Europe, and his four goals and two assists, despite missing out on a few weeks with injury.
Against Crystal Palace this weekend, we expect Isak to be back to his dangerous best.
James Maddison
Last ranking: Unranked
A brace last weekend, in their shock win over Manchester City was enough to get James Maddison a spot in this week's rankings.
The former Leicester City man has dropped into a deeper role than his usual number ‘10’ position, but he is thriving there nonetheless.
Madders is winning a career-high four duels while conducting Ange Postecoglu’s midfield.
He’s scored five times already, and he could easily add to this tally, this weekend.
10.Jordan Ayew
Last ranking: Unranked
Leicester City’s Jordan Ayew has been a bit of a surprise package this season.
After his surprise move from Crystal Palace this summer, many people expected Ayew to be a bit-part player at the King Power Stadium.
His two goals in his last two games, combined with his overall contribution to Leicester City’s attack has earned him the final spot on this list.
