Yaya Toure – Grade – C

This grade was tough to assign purely because of the extremely small sample size. After the prolonged fiasco involving his agent insulting Pep Guardiola, Toure has seen very little pitch time this season. However, in his first game back in the league for City this weekend, Yaya notched a brace.

This proves that when motivated and invested, Toure is an incredible talent. However, he is still clearly prone to ridiculousness, and with Dimitri Seluk for an agent, it is impossible to guess if Toure’s form or time on the pitch will continue.
