David Silva

Ross Barkley has to get a mention in here for his play in recent weeks, but David Silva is still one of (if not the best) players in the Premier League. His dribbling and passing makes the Spaniard a threat no matter where he has the ball. Placing him in the final third with our two strikers should lead to multiple goals per game easily. Along with goalkeeper this was one of the easier decision, though if De Bruyne were healthy, it might be exponentially tougher.
