#2 Sergio Aguero - £250,000 / week

Aguero is one of the best strikers in the Premier League

Sergio Aguero has been one of City's best player since he signed from Athletico Madrid in 2011. His debut season would be the one he would remember for a long time. The Argentine scored in the injury time against Queens Park Rangers on the last day of the Premier League to clinch the title away from their neighbors. It was a euphoric moment for any City fan, one they would cherish for a lifetime.

Aguero is a prolific goalscorer for both club and country. He is Manchester City's all-time leading scorer breaking Eric Brook's 78-year-old record. There were doubts whether Guardiola would favor Sergio after signing Jesus in 2017. However, he proved his doubters wrong and enjoying his football under the Spaniard.

He was won three Premier League titles with City but still searching for his first Champions League winners medal. Guardiola's side is one of the favorites to win UCL this season and Aguero would have a crucial role to play in that.

About the author

A sports enthusiast and an avid follower of football.

Since childhood I was encouraged to play cricket and in no time it became a hobby. Gradually I found interest in other sports also.

Football is in my blood and I love the electrifying ambiance that surrounds it. I often watch the pre and post match analysis of a match and try to learn how to analyze a football game.

The thing that intrigues me the most is that there are so many things happening behind the scenes that are oblivious to our naked eyes. The technological advancements that has been made are phenomenal.

I like analyzing a game from a statistical point of view. Being a data guy myself , I am firm believer of providing insights through facts and data. Though a game is always unpredictable , analyzing it from different dimensions can provide some very interesting conclusions.
