GK) Lukasz Fabianski, Swansea City
The Swansea stopper has been a key part of the Welsh side’s good start to the season. He was only signed from Arsenal in the summer.
RB) Branislav Ivanovic, Chelsea
The first of five Blues players in the team. The Serb has been an ever present so far for the club.
LB) Leighton Baines, Everton
The Toffees man already has an impressive six assists and two goals this season.
CB) Curtis Davies, Hull City
The 29-year-old’s consistency at the back has led to some calls for him to be included in the England squad.
CB) Michael Dawson, Hull City
Signed from Tottenham Hotspur in the summer, his former club have been missing his assured presence at the back while the Tigers have profited from it.
CM) Cesc Fabregas, Chelsea
The Spaniard has added guile to Jose Mourinho’s midfield this season.
CM) Oscar, Chelsea
The 23-year-old recently signed a five year contract, and looks well worth the long term deal.
RM) Alexis Sanchez, Arsenal
The £35 million summer signing has been in amazing form, already scoring eight goals in the league.
LM) Eden Hazard, Chelsea
The Belgian has been slightly overshadowed by the new arrivals this campaign, but is still one of the best players at Stamford Bridge.
ST) Sergio Aguero, Manchester City
Aguero has been playing brilliantly, with an unbelievable 12 league goals already. He has kept the Citizens near the top of the table despite the rest of the team’s poor form.
ST) Diego Costa, Chelsea
The 26-year-old has been a natural since arriving in the Premier League. Ten goals in nine appearances are a testament to this.
