Liverpool midfielder Florian Wirtz points and shouts
The Swede had a difficult first campaign following his £125million move from Newcastle United in 2025, with injury keeping him out for months on end.
But this season has seen the 27-year-old return fully fit and with renewed hunger, scoring seven goals in nine Premier League appearances so far.
Isak is not the only player to have impressed at Liverpool so far this season, after what has been a solid start to Andoni Iraola's tenure.
The Reds have won nine of their 16 games across all competitions, and sit fourth in the Premier League.
Here, Football Insider has used data to determine Liverpool three best players so far this season.

Alexander Isak
Data is not needed to explain why Isak's start to the season has been so impressive.
The Sweden international's goals have directly won Liverpool 10 points alone, and that is not to mention the presence he provides on the pitch.
The striker is averaging three shots per game, as well as 0.84 chances created and 5.40 touches in the opposition box.
If Isak can maintain his red hot form throughout the season, Liverpool will be in a very good place.
Virgil van Dijk
For yet another season, Virgil van Dijk appears to have returned to the top of his game.
Guiding the young and exciting Jeremy Jacquet, the legendary centre-back has been at his imperious best as Liverpool have kept four clean sheets in 10 Premier League.
Per game, Van Dijk leads the Liverpool team in clearances (7.1), line-breaking passes (152) and accurate long balls (4.5).
Astonishingly, the 35-year-old has recorded the third fastest sprint in the team this season, matching Victor Munoz at 34.9 km/h.
Florian Wirtz
After a disappointing first season, many expected that the Premier League simply was not for £116m man Florian Wirtz.
But the German has started to disprove that theory in recent months, with Iraola seemingly getting more out of him.
Remarkably, Wirtz is covering the most distance of any Liverpool player by far - running 12.1 km per game, nearly a km more than second-place Alexis Mac Allister.
That work-rate is seen in the fact that he leads the team in winning possession in the opposition final third, too, averaging 1.1 balls won per game.
And that's not to mention his on-the-ball work. Wirtz is creating 2.6 chances per game and is taking 2.6 shots, too.
The final touch can be lacking, but the German is certainly on his way to reaching the potential he is widely considered to have.
