Was there any doubt as to who would top this list?

The best midfielder in the Premier League if not the world at the moment, Kevin De Bruyne has torn apart Premier League defences with his passing, vision, and dribbling skills this season.

With a frankly astonishing output of 2 goals and 7 assists in 6 Premier League appearances so far, the Belgian midfielder has come back stronger than ever from the niggling injuries he suffered last season.

Capable of picking out a pass, scoring long range screamers and going past defenders with ease, the 28-year-old is quite simply the complete midfielder. Pep Guardiola is blessed with a Manchester City squad full of quality and class, but the best player in that squad and arguably the Premier League at the moment is none other than Kevin De Bruyne.
