How are the Power Rankings calculated?

The Power Rankings are based on points awarded to players for 35 different statistics - from goals and assists, to blocks and tackles. The standings take into account the number of points a player has earned up to the previous five matchdays of a season, with each previous game worth 20 per cent fewer points in incremental deductions.

Phil Foden (No 5) continued to shine for Manchester City with two goals and an assist in the 4-1 win at Brighton, while Watford forward Josh King (No 6) and Burnley full-back Maxwel Cornet (No 9) represented bottom-half clubs among the elite performers.
