#3 Alexis Sanchez
Trending
Gameweeks at top – 4
Gameweek 20 ranking – 2nd
Match performance – one goal and league’s joint top-scorer
Alexis Sanchez’s consistent run of form continued against Swansea City as Arsenal ran away 4-0 winners to maintain the pace at the top of the table. The Arsenal forward was at his usual hard-working best as he hustled the Swans defence at every opportunity.
He helped Arsenal open the scoring when his cross from the left-wing eventually led to Giroud scoring. and then went on to score a goal himself by positioning himself at the right place.
The goal was Sanchez’s 14th goal of the season and moves him level with Diego Costa of Chelsea. However, the top spot in the power ranking continues to elude him with consistent performances coming from the attackers above him.
Fantasy Stat – Alexis Sanchez has been involved in atleast a goal or assist in seven of the last eight gameweeks.
#2 Zlatan Ibrahimovic
Gameweeks at top – 3
Gameweek 20 ranking – 1st
Match performance – one late goal and also league’s joint top-scorer
Zlatan Ibrahimovic continues to be the most important player for Manchester United in terms of points gained as he salvaged a point for the Red Devils with a late goal against Liverpool to extend their unbeaten run to 16 games.
One extremely difficult chance and a bullet free-kick aside, Zlatan was relatively silent for most of the game until substitute Marouane Fellaini made a nuisance of himself in the box and Zlatan bent low to guide Antonio Valencia’s pass into the net with a looping header. The goal screamed of quality and winning mentality, which the giant Swede is exhibiting even at this age. He, however, relinquishes the top spot due to a string of exceptional performances from our new leader.
Fantasy Stat – Zlatan Ibrahimovic has failed to be involved in a goal only once in the last eight gameweeks.
