Right Midfielder – Raheem Sterling

Sterling is another huge reason for Manchester City’s style of play these last few weeks. He is another midfielder that can beat you with his pace, while his ability to find a teammate has helped City score some goals. When playing with confidence, Sterling should be playing every minute. His aggressiveness has made him better overall as a player, while he has found his way into some great areas offensively for the good of the team.
