#1 Kevin de Bruyne
Not many will call Kevin De Bruyne underrated, but the 26-year-old is in the first position simply because of the impact he is having on his team. De Bruyne has consistently been the most outstanding player in the Premier League’s most outstanding team.

The stats look kindly on De Bruyne as well - he has created 92 chances, the most in the league with Salah managing a mere 52. After a modest season last time around, this has been a huge step up in terms of performances.
He is currently Europe's best midfielder and all-round footballer and has also managed 11 goals and 18 assists in 43 appearances. Given De Bruyne's position on the field, that is some achievement.
He creates magic every time he touches the ball on the pitch, with 3.2 key passes and 83.4% successful passes per game in the Premier League.
If City win the champions league and Belgium does well in Russia, De Bruyne might overtake Salah in the race to challenge Messi and Ronaldo for the Ballon d'or, and is capable of even springing a surprise.
