#8 Kevin De Bruyne (Belgium) 🢀 🢂

There was no player more important to Manchester City's Premier League title triumph than Kevin De Bruyne. Pep Guardiola did not need a no.10 with De Bruyne operating as a no.8 with David Silva and it worked to perfection.

100 points (a new record in England) is a testament to that. And De Bruyne has only carried that form into the World Cup. However, he hasn't been seriously tested yet. He has only played twice - against Panama and Tunisia.
Nevertheless, he created one of the chances of the tournament with a chipped assist for Romelu Lukaku and his control in midfield hasn't wavered one bit. But the lack of quality opponents has seen his ranking stay the same. For now.
