Kevin de Bruyne

Well on his way to topping the Premier League’s most assists table for a second season running, this 26-yearold Belgian creative midfielder was just two assists away from the league’s most assists record with 18 from 36 appearances for Manchester City in 2016/17 and is now on 14 assists from 27 appearances with eight games remaining. He can score as well, not as much, but that isn’t always the point, he has seven goals from 27 games in the league so far this season and 11 goals from 40 appearances overall. He is the best example of those who have improved tenfold under Pep Guardiola since he was dropped by Chelsea.
