#4 Kevin De Bruyne
Rank in 2016: 13
Manchester City have played swashbuckling football this season and Kevin De Bruyne is at the heart of it, pulling strings in the midfield. It won't be surprising to see him winning the Premier League Player of the Year this season, would it?
Kevin De Bruyne's efficient passing sets the perfect rhythm the Citizens require while attacking their opponents. Playing in a deeper role under Pep Guardiola, the Belgian has found ways to tear apart the defences with his precise short passes and through balls.
Adding to that, he is just as effective with set-pieces and long shots which make him a player to have on your team.
The club's resolve to keep their star playmaker is bound to be tested in the summer, with a host of European heavyweights already eyeing deals for him.
