Mohamed Salah was the best player in the league and the world when we last did this in December. It's March, and he has continued to be the best player in the league and the world.

But since our last rankings, we've seen Manchester City fall and then sort of rise. We've watched Chelsea struggle their way out of the top two and down into the top five-ish.

And Arsenal's title challenge suddenly fell apart.
