Every month, we are looking at the best-performing players in the Premier League.

To help us do this, we will be listing the five stars with the highest number of Opta Points.

The methodology behind the system gives points and substracts points for certain actions. For example, goals are worth +10, a pass is worth +0.2, while a red card is valued at -5 and a foul at -1.
