Left Midfielder – Leroy Sane

Sane has picked up his game a lot in the past few weeks, and gets the nod here over Bournemouth’s Junior Stanislas. He has two goals in league play, but his play with the ball has been superb in City’s build-up play. He has been able to force opposing defenders into mistakes, while teasing defenders into making tackles. He is a speedy midfielder that has seen his role grow under Pep as City try to be more attacking minded.
