#2 Kevin de Bruyne
De Bruyne is the player who has been at the heart of Manchester City's game this season. The Belgian has absolutely been a gem of a player and an unmatched talent in the country.
His creativity and passing range has caught the attention of all football fans. Sitting in a deep play-maker role, the 26-year-old has made football look so easy and beautiful.
The pace at which with he transforms the team's defence into counter-attacks is stupendous. No marker has managed to keep him quiet all season and the player will only get better with every passing match-day.
He has assisted 15 of his team's league goals while bagging seven for himself which include some thunderbolt strikes to send shivers down the opposition's spine.
The player would certainly be among the top two names considered for the Player of the Year award.
