15. Olivier Giroud (Arsenal) – 7.9
Olivier Giroud has developed from an erratic finisher often outmuscled off the ball last season to a battering ram of a forward who has developed a cool touch in front of goal.
There are now few players in Europe able to lead a line as well as the French forward, who has proven a real dependable asset to Arsenal as they continue their quest for a first Premier League title in a decade.
As well as his increased goal threat, Giroud leads the English top flight in assists, and with five goals and four assists in his ten matches so far he is certainly at the top of his game.
