#3 Fernandinho

Fernandinho has been running the show in the midfield area for Manchester City this season. He has been putting in some great performances which have helped City remain in the title race so far.
Fernandinho has made great progress under Pep Guardiola and will try to make sure the manager remains impressed with his performances.
He is leading in tackles (41), aerial battles won (47), clearances (51) and interceptions (28) for Manchester City this season. He has been crucial in holding his spot and making sure his defense does not face any problems while facing the opposition's attack.
Fernandinho will have to keep performing at the level he currently is for Manchester City to have any chance of being alive in the title race. If he remains busy in the field for the rest of the season, fairly tackling the opposition players while also winning the aerials and interceptions from the opponents, City could win consecutive Premier League titles.
