Left Midfielder – David Silva 

Even though he prefers to be in the center of midfield, Silva is a threat also out wide. His skill with the ball is top-class, while he always tries to pick out a teammate. Silva has five goals and six assists in all comps this season, and look for those numbers to increase. The more Manchester City want to push for the league title, Silva’s role in their attacks must increase. He can break down a defense by himself, while also being a threat towards goal with his own feet.
