#4 Aymeric Laporte
Aymeric Laporte has played all of Manchester City's matches in the Premier League so far, and provided solidity at the back, along with John Stones.
He is known to be a strong passer, and standing at an impressive 6'3, good at aerial duels too. Signed from Athletic Bilbao in the January transfer window, the Frenchman has adapted naturally into Pep Guardiola's style of play at the Etihad.
Laporte is not shy of scoring goals, as he has one each to his name in the Premier League and the Champions League. Partnering John Stones at the back, he has been fantastic, defending with authority.
Manchester City have conceded a meagre 4 goals this season, and it is all down to the solidity Laporte provides in the heart of its defence.
