We present Volume 1, Number 5 of our Ultimate FIFA Players Ranking. Again, we’re rating the players based on four criteria: Goals scored, games played, online presence and our own grade. We changed it a bit with a weight, goals scored and games played both have 10% weight, the online score has 20% weight and our own score has a 60% weight. Again, we’re using the geek rate.

Our top player for this week’s release is Olivier Giroud’s weekend strike lifted his goalscoring tally in blue to five in fifteen games and who is responsible for Chelsea’s recent – and sudden – ascent into winning form.
