Leo Messi is head and shoulders above everyone else on the list of this season's best players by WhoScored.
The Argentine's average mark is higher than the ones of Robert Lewandowski and Harry Kane, who rank 2nd and 3rd in the list respectively.
However, as far as Liverpool fans are concerned, the most surprising exclusion from the top 20 is Mohamed Salah.
The forward has been given a rating of only 7.09 by WhoScored, despite the fact that he has scored 31 goals across the season and is in the race to secure his 3rd Premier League Golden Boot in just his 4th season with Liverpool!
