The heartbeat of Pep Guardiola's Manchester City side that ran riot on their way to claiming the coveted English Premier League title last season, Kevin De Bruyne also deserves a lot of recognition for his incredible performances and brilliant achievements during the year.

The Belgian International was arguably the most efficient superstar in the English top flight last term, finishing the domestic campaign with an impressive 8 goals and 16 assists in 37 appearances as well as guiding the Citizens to claim both the league title and the Carling Cup.

He also scored once and assisted 4 in the UEFA Champions League before coming back to play influential roles as his nation finished third during the recently concluded FIFA World Cup in Russia, recording a goal and 2 impressive assists to his name in the process.
