#3 David Silva - Manchester City
Silva was one of the main reasons why City was able to grab their Premier League title in last season, their third title in eight years. Silva's position as a midfielder has surely helped him evolve as he has become one of the most consistent players in the Premier League. Him not being included in the Ballon d'Or list is surely a surprise for everyone, as his skills are extremely exceptional.
Silva played in the World Cup and helped to take the Spanish national side all the way to the knockout stages, where they had the chance to win the tournament, but they couldn't achieve the feat as their play style was criticised by many.
While Sergio Aguero and Kevin de Bruyne are the only two players from Pep Guardiola's side, Silva surely deserved a spot as without him, Manchester City wouldn't have scored 100+ points and win the league.
