#3 Kevin De Bruyne (Manchester City)
Arguably the most talented player in the Premier League at the moment, Kevin De Bruyne is a key player for Manchester City, one of the best teams in Europe.
De Bruyne has been the best player in the Premier League since his arrival from Wolfsburg for nearly £68.5 million in 2015. The Belgian is highly creative, technically gifted, and renowned for his drilled crosses into the box. He won the PFA Players' Player of the Year award last season.
The 30-year-old is regarded highly by his peers. De Bruyne has made six Premier League appearances this season, scoring twice. The midfielder is one of the leaders in the City dressing room; his responsibilities are not just confined to the field.
#2 Cristiano Ronaldo (Manchester United)
It is apt that two Manchester United players have made this list, considering how the club's performances seemingly always rely on individual brilliance.
Cristiano Ronaldo has already produced some important moments for the club after returning to United from Juventus this summer. The Portuguese superstar has scored three goals in five Premier League appearances. He has also scored winners against Villarreal and Atalanta in the UEFA Champions League.
There has been criticism aimed at Ronaldo. Suggestions have been made that United have lost their fluidity in attack due to Ronaldo's static nature. The 36-year-old is the club's best goalscorer, though, so dropping him is certainly not an option.
#1 Mohamed Salah (Liverpool)
Mohamed Salah is arguably the best player in the world right now. He looks untouchable, and in inspired form whenever he has played this season.
Salah has been sensational since joining Liverpool. A prolific goalscorer, an excellent dribbler and well-known for his quick feet, the Egypt international has not stopped scoring for Jurgen Klopp's side. This season, though, he has elevated his level.
The 29-year-old has made eight appearances in the Premier League, scoring seven goals and providing four assists. Salah looks like he could single-handedly lead Liverpool to the league title. Fans are clamouring for the forward to sign a new contract, with Salah's current one expiring in 2023.
