All 26 players to start at least five league games have been ranked below in order of their average rating. We have also calculated an 'impact score’ which measures a player’s contribution over the course of the season by combining average rating, star man awards and total minutes played. Only players who have started a minimum of five league matches are included. Here are the final results (caveat: this is not a perfect system – it will slightly favour players who did not feature as much in the second half of the season due to the huge contrast in results before and after Christmas)…
