Cristiano Ronaldo's immense goalscoring record for Real Madrid and his ability to sustain his form despite injury marks him out as the highest performing 'new signing' in the latest Castrol Rankings.
However, the most dramatic improvement in form comes with Manchester City's Carlos Tevez, who has surged 120 places up the rankings since leaving Manchester United, the largest jump of any of the players involved in the top 10 most expensive switches during the close season.
Along with Ronaldo, two more fresh faces appear in the current top 10, with Zlatan Ibrahimovic of Barcelona and Bayern Munich's Arjen Robben registering at nine and 10 respectively. Interestingly, another Bayern player appears in the top 20; Ivica Olic, at 17.
Perhaps surprisingly, Inter's Wesley Sneijder is way back at 137, with the tail-end of his Real Madrid career counting somewhat against him.
Well, there's your answer Genius. Ronaldo was a better signing than Ibra, coming straight from the method you champion, the Castrol rankings.
Sneijder @ 137 though???
