10) Marouane Fellaini (Manchester United)
A player who looked like a terribly expensive flop last season following his £27.5m move from Everton, Marouane Fellaini has improved tremendously at Manchester United since Louis van Gaal took over at the club.

9) Danny Welbeck (Arsenal)
A player revitalised by moving to a new club, Danny Welbeck has looked a good signing for Arsenal, even if better things are still to come from him at the Emirates Stadium. The former Manchester United man has also been in top form for England recently.
8) Saido Berahino (West Bromwich Albion)
A player who started brightly before fading last season, West Bromwich Albion striker Saido Berahino has been consistently superb this term, attracting big interest from the likes of Liverpool and Manchester United.
7) Stewart Downing (West Ham United)
A big disappointment at Liverpool and slow to get going at West Ham, Stewart Downing has made a real improvement this season and has worked his way back into the England setup.
6) Papiss Cisse (Newcastle United)
A player who couldn’t buy a goal for much of last season, Papiss Cisse looks close to rediscovering his best form for Newcastle United, and netted two crucial strikes to down Chelsea this weekend.
5) Cesc Fabregas (Chelsea)
A player who couldn’t nail down a regular place in his best position at previous club Barcelona, Cesc Fabregas has been reborn at Chelsea and is perhaps enjoying the best form of his entire career with bags of assists and quality in the Blues’ midfield.
4) Joe Hart (Manchester City)
Far from convincing last season and the year before, Joe Hart now looks to have won over Manuel Pellegrini and is a key player for Manchester City again, possibly set to earn a new contract at the Etihad Stadium.
3) Isco (Real Madrid)
Despite looking like one of the best young players in the world during his time with Malaga, Isco made little impression in his first season as a Real Madrid player, though he is now much improved and one of the team’s most important performers.
2) Wayne Rooney (Manchester United)
A player who has looked out of sorts at times in recent years, Wayne Rooney is now firing on all cylinders again for Manchester United and England this season, relishing his new role as captain for club and country.
1) Lionel Messi (Barcelona)
Although it was never much of a dip, there’s no doubt Lionel Messi has the wow factor back again this season after an injury-hit year last term. With three hat-tricks in his last four games, it’s as you were for the Argentine.
