Left Midfielder – Leroy Sane

In his first season in Manchester, Leroy Sane has impressed many fans and media alike with his stellar pace and skill. His six goals and three assists may not fully jump out to the naked eye, but his production in Manchester City’s build-up play is very important to their success. He has been able to play freely out-wide, while creating numerous chances offensively. I can’t see anyone starting over Sane right now, whether its Man City’s or Stoke’s players due to his in-form play.
