First Center Midfielder – Kevin De Bruyne
Despite going nine matches without a goal or assist, Kevin De Bruyne is still a key figure in Manchester City’s plans. The Belgian has been forced to put in a lot of extra work for the team, and has answered the call extremely well. He is a top midfielder internationally and can pick through an opposing defense whenever it is needed. Manchester City have earned 2.2 points a game with De Bruyne in the line-up, to just 1.3 per game without him. I expect De Bruyne to be a key component for Manchester City this weekend, and especially with Arsenal and Chelsea awaiting after the international break.
