The Belgian maestro began his campaign on a bad note following injury woes. However, upon recovery, Kevin De Bruyne quickly earned a spot within the star-studded team. This shows the importance of the Belgian international.

Lauded as one of the most creative players of all time, Kevin De Bruyne has made quite a name for himself that arguably no one else can surpass. Long balls, defense penetrating through balls, pinpoint accuracy, deadly set-piece assists, name any attribute and Kevin De Bruyne has to come out on top.

KDB is the joint record holder for the highest number of assists (20) in a single season with Thierry Henry. He has also won two EPL Playmaker of the Season awards.


#3 Bernardo Silva (Manchester City)

Sergio Aguero's departure was expected to put a dent in Manchester City's dribbling department. But Bernardo Silva stepped up to fill that void. The Portuguese international has been in sensational form right from the start of the season.

He displayed a notable performance in Manchester City's 2-2 thriller against Liverpool and was seen toying with Liverpool's defenders. Naturally a deep-lying playmaker, the Portuguese player can be deployed anywhere in the final third.

Bernardo Silva is lauded as one of the most impactful left-footed creative playmakers in football as of now.


#2 Mohamed Salah (Liverpool)

With 10 goals and five assists out of nine Premier League matches, Mohamed Salah has left no stone unturned this season. The Liverpool goal-machine is in the form of his life and is proving to be equally dangerous in terms of goal scoring and playmaking.

A favorite for the golden boot once again, Mohamed Salah has left his competitors behind by a far margin. The Egyptian southpaw combines his pace and quick-feet ability to wreak havoc in the opposition half.

The former AS Roma striker is one of the rarest players who are absolute poachers and at the same time, calm-headed creative playmakers.


#1 Paul Pogba (Manchester United)

Barring his outing against Liverpool at home, Paul Pogba has barely put a foot wrong this season. Against the Reds, he was sent off just 15 minutes after coming on at half-time. But the French international has accumulated seven assists from nine matches this season. He is one of the most selfless players under Ole Gunnar Solskjær's command.

Pogba's eagle vision and impeccable passing ability have made him an unparalleled element within the club and the national team. Pogba's strong physical stature has helped him boss the midfield zone single-handedly.

The 28-year-old checks all the boxes to be a creative midfielder. He also has a penchant for grace.
