Alexis Sanchez, Arsenal

With six league goals this season, two of which came last week in a 4-1 win at Sunderland, the Alexis experiment up top has worked for Arsenal.

Few players in the EPL are more dynamic than the Chilean, who recently scored his 50th goal for Arsenal in just over two seasons with the club. A non-stop force both with the ball and without it, Alexis is a spark plug who many point to as being Arsenal’s top player.

In addition to scoring eight goals in all competitions, Alexis leads Arsenal in assists with five. Despite all the talent in our North London XI, no player has been more consistently great from game to game than Alexis.

In league games alone, he’s been named Man of the Match three times and has an average match rating of 7.9, which is slightly ahead of Son to lead all Arsenal and Tottenham players.
