Premier League Player Rankings: Silva, Yaya Toure, Oxford & Payet Star

Welcome to another season of Premier League player rankings, where we make it our mission to quantify the form of the division's best performers and rank them in order of how well they're playing right now.

The rankings are formed based on players' last six games, with slightly more emphasis placed on their most recent outing. Only Premier League performances are counted, and, typically, one-week wonders do not find their way in by default.

We look beyond the statistical measures and into the performance, reviewing tape and gauging impact. It's not just goals, assists and heroic clearances that impress; it's about how a player contributes to the tactical plan at hand and what impact he has over a 90-minute period.

However, on a one-off basis as we start the season, there is only one game to judge from, and therefore this ranking resembles a list of the top 20 performances in the division from the weekend...until we get a little more material to peruse.

Fair warning to you all: This week's selection is Aston Villa- and West Ham-heavy; claret and blue impressed on the opening day.

Take a look and see if you agree with our selections, and if you feel like we've missed anyone, let us know in the comments section below.
