#8 Kevin De Bruyne

FBL-ENG-PR-MAN CITY-TROPHY-PARADE — The assist machine

The Belgian barely missed out on the Premier League Player of the Year but make no mistake here: he is the star that carried Manchester City to Premier League glory this season.

I mean, his numbers are just insane. In 36 matches in the Premier League, he scored 8 goals and provided an astonishing 16 assists to his team-mates. Furthermore, he made 2.9 key-passes-per-game and was the heartbeat of City’s attacks.

For Belgium to flourish in the World Cup, he has to be at his brilliant best.
