First Center Midfielder – Kevin De Bruyne

KDB is a prime figure in Manchester City’s attacking front and in the Premier League. At 25, he still has a lot of time in front of him to get better. 11 assists in all comps this season shows that De Bruyne is becoming more of a facilitator under Pep. He finds great pockets of space to work in, while also forcing saves from opposing keepers off of his own feet. The longer Pep gets to work with De Bruyne, the better I feel the player can become.
