Alexis Sánchez: The Silent Arsenal of the Premier League

Arsenal transferred Alexis Sánchez from Barcelona 2 seasons ago in hopes to fill the offensive void left by Robin van Persie. In his third season at the club, Sánchez seems to have finally arrived. While he had respectable seasons the past two years, Alexis Sánchez has reached new heights in this early season. He is two goals away from matching his goal tally from last year and 5 away from matching his tally from the season prior.

Last season, Sánchez earned 13.18 points for Arsenal. This season, he has already earned 10.20 points and is on pace to earn nearly 28 points for his side in the Most Valuable Offensive Player (MVOP) rankings.
