#3 Aymeric Laporte
Signed from Athletic Bilbao for a hefty amount of 57 million, Aymeric Laporte suddenly finds himself as a permanent starter among the star-studded City squad. He is another player who is yet to miss a single minute of premier league football which is quite astonishing considering the rotation policy of Pep.

Laporte and Stones have formed a formidable partnership at the back, making it tougher for Otamendi to come back to the starting eleven. The Citizens have kept 7 clean sheets so far, conceding only five goals in the process.
The French international is second in the list of completing most number of passes in the league with 1065 passes, averaging 89 per game. In the 'short-passing' based system of Pep, he has been able to complete 54 long passes which is the highest among his team-mates.
