Sigurdsson is ranked as the fourteenth best player in the Premier League according to the EA SPORTS Player Performance Index. Sigurdsson is 13/1 to score first with 888sport.

Cesc Fabregas completes the Chelsea trio and is ranked fourth in the overall EA SPORTS Player Performance Index. Fabregas has stormed the assists chart, setting up 15 goals so far this season. This is largely down to the fact Fabregas has completed more passes in the opposition half than any other player (963). In addition to this,
