This is the first time that we have done power rankings in quite some time, but let’s get right into it. We seek to filter through the top five individual performers right now based on a number of things. It’s not just the season’s performance as a whole. While that does play a major part, recent form is what shakes things up on the rankings chart.

These power rankings will almost always encase the ten outfield players that Arsenal employs on a daily basis. In a situation where a player gets hurt, he will be dropped off the list, as he obviously has no ‘power’ if he can’t play. Fear not, they will return.

In that case, we may fall into a situation where players who are coming on as subs (Xhaka) sneak into the power rankings.
