Every Premier League club's most valuable player based on points-per-game has been revealed, with some surprising outcomes at the likes of Manchester United and Man City.
The players, as reported by the Telegraph, are based on points-per-game won since the start of last season in games that they have featured in.
Players eligible are those who have made a minimum appearance total of 35 games in that time, with the only exceptions being promoted sides Burnley, Sheffield United and Luton Town.
One of the biggest surprises comes at Manchester City, where despite Rodri being on an unbeaten run that stretches over the course of a full calendar year, it is actually Jack Grealish (2.55) who has the best points-per game record out of anyone in the Premier League.
The biggest contributing factor is that Grealish has a 81 per cent win record when he has featured for Man City, compared to Rodri's 75. However, the Spaniard has made 61 appearances since the start of last season, while Grealish has made 42.

Burnley - Josh Brownhill ( 0.63 points from 25 appearances
Sheffield United - Gustavo Hamer (0.54 points from 26 appearances)
Another surprise comes in the form of Casemiro, who is Manchester United's most valuable player with two points-per-game, despite his difficult second season.
Harry Maguire has a higher points-per-game record with 2.19, though he is not eligible due to being three appearances short of the 35 required
The player with the highest points-per-game ratio from Arsenal is William Saliba who is averaging 2.36 points from his 55 games since the start of last season.
Liverpool's most valuable player is Diogo Jota who has taken 2.15 points per game - with the Reds losing just five of the 41 Premier League games he has played, giving him the nod over Mohamed Salah.
Jota is currently out with an injury and his return as proven by these numbers could be crucial for the Reds in their title fight with Arsenal and Manchester City.
Chelsea's most valuable player is Conor Gallagher, but his 1.34 points per game shows why the Blues finished in the bottom half of the table last season, and remain outside the top 10 as things stand this term.
The likes of Brentford with Josh Dasilva (1.51), Bournemouth's Antoine Semenyo (1.43), and Fulham with Willian (1.53), and Wolves with Toti (1.55) all have players averaging higher points-per-game than Chelsea's best.
Alex Moreno is averaging an impressive 1.83 points-per-game since he arrived at Villa Park last season, with Tottenham's Cristian Romero only just ahead on 1.84.

West Ham and Brighton are pushing for Europe again this season and their most valuable players are seen to be Lucas Paqueta (1.44) and Pervis Estupinan (1.65) respectively.
Newcastle were within reach of the top-four in December but are now 10th and 16 points off Aston Villa.
A big part of that is Nick Pope's shoulder injury which has kept him out since the end of last year, and he is averaging an impressive 1.88 points-per-game when he features.
Towards the bottom end of the table, Crystal Palace's most valuable player is Cheick Doucoure (1.24 points), Everton's is Abdoulaye Doucoure (1.26) and Nottingham Forest's best is Ryan Yates (0.98)
In terms of the clubs who got promoted this season, Luton Town's best is Alfie Doughty (0.79), Josh Brownhill averages 0.63 for Burnley and Gustavo Hamer is Sheffield United's most valuable on 0.54.
