#2 – Bernardo Silva

Bernardo Silva is a silent hero right now for Manchester City. He might not be someone who scores and assists a lot but without him, the Cityzens wouldn't have been as successful as they were last season.
Not only for his club side, but the Portuguese star was stunning for his national team too. He was their best player in the UEFA Nations League and won the Best Player of the Tournament award too.
He was ranked at #2 last month as well and as he was not involved in any competitive game in July, there is no change in his ranking. He is expected to be one of the first names on the team sheet for Pep Guardiola and if he plays like he did last season, there is no doubt that he will be fighting for the Ballon d'Or trophy in December.
