#5 Angel Di Maria - €1.1 million
The arrival of Neymar and Kylian Mbappe may have put him in the shade a bit, but Di Maria has been just as impressive as ever. The six goals and five assists he's managed in only 15 starts in the league this season suggest his indomitable influence from the midfield as the Argentine still remains a pivotal figure in Unai Emery's set-up.
Trending
El Fideo has particularly thrived when either of Neymar or Mbappe doesn't play, and with seven strikes, he’s currently the most prolific midfielder in the league this calendar year.
Di Maria was at his imperious best when he scored a brilliant hat-trick against Sochaux in the Coupe de France on Tuesday, the latest in a string of sterling performances.
