Adebayor has been decent for struggling Tottenham and has two goals in eight starts.

11) Cheikhou Kouyaté – West Ham United –  6.88

Kouyate has impressed in the start’s he’s made but has yet to really establish himself.

Eto’o has proved he still has an eye for goal, scoring three times in his two starts.

9) Marouane Chamakh – Crystal Palace- 6.95

Continues to shake off the bad reputation he got at Arsenal with hard-working, if not prolific, performances.

8) Riyad Mahrez – Leicester City – 7.05

The tricky winger has impressed for Leicester since joining in the summer.

7) Wilfried Bony – Swansea City – 7.08

Continues to dominate defences with his strength and hold-up play.

6) Yaya Touré – Manchester City – 7.11

Disappointing so far by his high standards, with his high rating presumably coming from playing in a winning side.

5) Ahmed Elmohamedy – Hull City – 7.12

Another good season at wing-back for the Egyptian.

4) Victor Wanyama – Southampton – 7.18

Dominant in midfield for the resurgent Saints this year.
