Rotherham's Semi Ajayi has topped the latest Power Rankings - but who else made the top 50 this week?

The Nigeria international scored his sixth goal in five league games during the Millers' 2-1 defeat to Norwich on Saturday, having hit goalscoring form since moving from central defence into defensive midfield.

Canaries midfielder Emiliano Buendia (No 3) retained his place among the top performers, while Kenny McLean (No 7) soared into the top 10 after breaking the deadlock at the New York Stadium.
