#3 David Silva
El Mago as he is fondly called by the City faithful has undoubtedly been one of the best midfielders of the Premier League era. Brought in for £25m in 2010, the Spaniard has been intergral to the four league title the side has won since then.
His blend of technique, passing, ball playing and skills have helped the City navigate through many difficult games and occasions. However, in what is set to be his last season in the blue jersey, Silva's influence has not been what it used to be.
De Bruyne is now the undisputed man pulling the strings for Guardiola's side while Bernardo Silva has shown that he is more than capable of replacing the Spaniard in the number 10 role.
Young propsect, Phil Foden has started making sounds about being given chances to prove himself. Getting the England starlet into the team to replace Silva could be a smart play by Guardiola. His youthfulnes and eagerness to get forward with the ball could be a boon for the side.
