If Eden Hazard is the second-most talented star in the Premier League, then Alexis Sanchez is the first. After being shifted to a new position by Arsene Wenger at the start of the season, the Chilean seems to have broken his shackles. Playing in the free central forward role, he has led Arsenal’s attack and has scored 20 times while assisting a further 11 times so far.

While there have been lots of speculation regarding his future, Sanchez has not let it affect his performances on the field. In FIFA 17, he was given a rating of 87 (which was shocking given his talent and performances). However, we expect him to be one of the top rated players this season with a rating of at least 90.
