First Centerback – John Stones

Despite some shaky moments in the back, Stones has really evolved into a top talent for Manchester City. His confidence has grown while the back-line has put out consistent results. He has netted two goals in 35 total appearances this season, while becoming a regular choice for Pep Guardiola. I expect Stones to continue to start for Manchester City, while he continues to get better with his teammates.
