Nacho Monreal is Arsenal’s best player this season and the only player to make the top 30 in the league, according to the Sky Sports power rankings.
Sky Sports analyse 32 different stats to put together a total for each player every matchday. Each statistic is weighted based on position on the pitch, so your centre-back isn’t expected to score a goal-per-game, and so on. Then all the individual matchdays are added up to give a total for the season.
Unfortunately, thanks to all of Arsenal’s poor performances this campaign, as well as a number of injuries, Monreal was the only player to make the top 30 after matchday 28.

Alexis Sanchez also accumulated a large portion of his points with Arsenal, but overall the list just emphasises how much the team are lacking consistent performers.
No one in the squad has managed that enough this season.
Even top performers like Mesut Özil and Aaron Ramsey have missed too many games.
That needs to change if Arsenal want to achieve anything between now and the end of the season.
