#2 Kevin de Bruyne (Manchester City)
De Bruyne is the odds-on favorite to snatch this award. He is the type of player a football lover would pay a fortune to go and watch.
He moves about the pitch with an effortless grace and has the vision to execute passes that nobody, aside Lionel Messi, can even imagine.
With 7 goals and 14 assists, he is the player that enables the likes of Sterling and Sane to flourish. Along with David Silva, this man controls the middle of the park by distributing balls for fun.
He was the best player in the first half of the season, but the fixture congestion has meant that he's just fallen a little off-pace. A good finish to the season would help him secure individual honours.
