Who are the names on Anthony Hudson's notepad for the 2016 OFC Nations Cup in PNG in May and June? Jason Pine updates the All Whites Power Rankings (previous ranking in brackets).

1. (1) Winston Reid (West Ham United, England)
Back in the West Ham United side after a frustrating hamstring
injury. All Whites captain and our best player; unchallenged at number one on this list.

2. (2) Ryan Thomas (PEC Zwolle, Netherlands)
Continues his recovery from knee surgery but on track to feature at the OFC Nations Cup.

3. (3) Tommy Smith (Ipswich Town, England)
Ipswich's Premiership push has stalled somewhat, but getting plenty of game time and Reid's obvious central defensive partner.

4. (4) Kosta Barbarouses (Melbourne Victory, Australia)
Currently serving a suspension, but has been one of the best attacking players in the A-League this season. Coming home to Wellington Phoenix in May.

5. (5) Chris Wood (Leeds United, England)
Made his return to first team action over the weekend after time on the sidelines with various niggles. Leads the line for New Zealand when fit.

6. (7) Michael McGlinchey (Wellington Phoenix, New Zealand)
Had his best game of the A-League season against Sydney FC on Saturday night and is starting to recapture his best form.

7. (8) Glen Moss (Wellington Phoenix, New Zealand)
Nothing will stop him being the first-choice goalkeeper in PNG in June.

8. (9) Themi Tzimopoulos (PAS Giannina, Greece)
Scored in his side's 2-0 win over the weekend that moved them into the top six in the Greek Super League. Getting plenty of hard game time, which some others aren't.

9. (6) Marco Rojas (FC Thun, Switzerland)
An unused substitute in his side's latest league outing, but still a key creative cog for the All Whites.

10. (11) Michael Boxall (SuperSport, South Africa)
Has been playing at right-back for his club side and may well be first choice there for his country with Storm Roux out to a long term injury.

11. (10) Tom Doyle (Wellington Phoenix, New Zealand)
Shaping as the first-choice left back, having nailed that spot at the Phoenix.

12. (13) Ryan De Vries (Auckland City, New Zealand)
ASB Premiership Golden Boot winner with 15 goals, including 11 in his last seven games. Simply must be on the plane to PNG.

13. (14) Jeremy Brockie (SuperSport, South Africa)
Another goal in the South African cup competition last week means he is now the leading goalscorer in all competitions in South Africa. Has hit a run of form which will be hard to ignore.

14. (12) Louis Fenton (Wellington Phoenix, New Zealand)
His whole-hearted commitment and versatility will be crucial in the OFC Nations Cup tournament format.

15. (15) Tyler Boyd (Vitoria SC, Portugal)
Playing regularly for his club side at 'B' level and is on the fringes of the first team.

16. (16) Stefan Marinovic (SpVgg Unterhaching, Germany)
Highly promising stopper who is the obvious back-up to Glen Moss.

17. (17) Deklan Wynne (Whitecaps FC 2, Canada)
A genuine contender at left-back for his country.

18. (18) Shane Smeltz (Sydney FC, Australia)
Has started the last eight games on the bench for struggling Sydney FC and his experience could be key in a similar role for New Zealand.

19. (30) Kip Colvey (San Jose Earthquakes, USA)
Big mover. Signed a full contract with the MLS club and has been getting games immediately. Must now be well and truly on Hudson's radar.

20. (19) Clayton Lewis (Auckland City FC, New Zealand)
Did more than enough for Auckland City this ASB Premiership season to keep his place in the national squad.

21. (20) Bill Tuiloma (RC Strasbourg, France)
His immense promise should still see him make the OFC Nations Cup squad despite next to no recent game time.

22. (23) Monty Patterson (Ipswich Town, England)
Offered a pro contract for next season at Ipswich and highly-rated by Hudson.

23. (21) Max Crocombe (Southport FC, England)
Favourite for the third goalkeeping spot. Saved a penalty over the weekend.
