Reina- No real outstanding goal keepers so far. The only others i would give a mention are Gordon and James but neither have been as consistant as Reina.
Richards- Leaps and bounds would be the correct expression. Has been very good for both club and country.
Laursen- Taking away their defeat to Man Utd the villa back four has been brilliant and Laursen a top performer.
Cacapa- Impressing Newcastle fans is not easy but Claudio looks born to defend.
Lescott- As expected, he has made another improvement to last years form, even managing to get into the england team (despite not shining).
Bentley- Another player that has improved his game for the second season in a row. He starting to become very consistant, even though hes a traitor to his country

.
Elano- The best player in the league so far by a considerable distance in my opinion.
Fabregas- Now that he has added goals to his list of attributes he can really be considered one of the premierships best.
Petrov- Along with Elano, he has torn every defence apart so far.
Benjani- Not everyones cup of tea but hes scoring goals this year not bad for a person that "couldn't hit a barn door".
Santa Cruz- Tough choice between him and Torres but because everyone expected Torres to shine, im giving this guy a mention.
Anyone got any players they have been impressed with so far?
