By 90min Staff
With the Premier League season now over halfway through, a number of players have hit top form and are standing out from the crowd.
Goals are usually the name of the game if you're playing up front, but there's other factors to consider when you're ranking the influence of players on their clubs.

10. Taiwo Awoniyi (new entry)
If Nottingham Forest end up fighting off relegation, they will have a lot to thank Taiwo Awoniyi for.
Four points in two crucial games against Southampton and Chelsea have been earned by four goals from the Nigerian international - doubling the tally he'd managed for the entire Premier League season.
9. Jack Grealish (down 2)
There are few players in the division on a better run of form right now than Manchester City's Jack Grealish.
Pep Guardiola needed Grealish to step up in the absence of Phil Foden and that's exactly what the former Aston Villa star has done.
8. Bukayo Saka (down 2)
Bukayo Saka has played a huge role in Arsenal's title challenge this season, silencing those who doubted his ability.
A decent World Cup showing has complemented some outstanding Premier League displays, but the goals and assists have stopped flowing just at the wrong time.
7. Ollie Watkins (down 2)
Business has picked up at Aston Villa under Unai Emery (minus a couple of home game defensive horror shows) and the main beneficiary has been Ollie Watkins.
He's on fire in front of goal.
6. Marcus Rashford (down 3)
Marcus Rashford has been one of the Premier League's best players since the World Cup break, no doubt about it.
But the goals have dried up of late and injuries have crept in too, plunging the Englishman down from his lofty perch in the rankings.
5. Alexander Isak (down 1)
Newcastle's Champions League charge shows no signs of slowing down and Alexander Isak's goals are playing a huge part in that.
The Swede is closing in on double digits for the season after missing over a dozen games through injury. Impressive work.
4. Mohamed Salah (up 4)
Liverpool haven't been firing on all cylinders this season and neither has Mohamed Salah, at least by his exceptionally high standards.
But the Egyptian has quietly crept up the Premier League goalscoring charts and is again closing on 20 goals, while he's also responsible for the most goal contributions overall after nabbing ten assists.
3. Callum Wilson (up 7)
Newcastle's Champions League charge is showing no signs of slowing down and Callum Wilson is front and centre of all things good.
Not many clubs can boast two quality options like Wilson and Isak, who have now scored a combined 28 goals between them. The former has 18 to his name, 11 of those since April.
2. Harry Kane (-)
Now Tottenham's all-time record goalscorer,, Kane became just the third player to score over 200 Premier League goals earlier this season.
He's brilliant. Possibly too brilliant to still be a Tottenham player and definitely holding their Champions League challenge together.
1. Erling Haaland (-)
Haaland held the number one spot on this list for a very, very long time.
But despite bagging 30 Premier League goals to date, the Norwegian has been knocked off his perch by another player lighting it up each and every week...
