7. Nolito
An import of Manchester City this season that has surprised many but, so far at least, has disappointed no-one. The 29-year-old has vast competition for places on the City flank but wriggled his way into the side to score twice and make one assist in his two appearances so far this term.
Having so far squared up against teams of good physicality in West Ham and Stoke, the former-Celta Vigo forward has adapted well to Premier League life to help propel City to the top of the Premier League. In the final third this season, he has managed a pass completion of 82.7%, meanwhile having just shy of two shots per game.

For the likes of David Silva and Kevin De Bruyne to continue improving, it’s paramount that they Spaniard keeps performing to keep them hot on their heels.
6. Zlatan Ibrahimovic
The plaudits were endless for Zlatan Ibrahimovic just three competitive games into his Manchester United tenure. With the ink on his contract still drying, the Swede scored a brace against Southampton to take his tally to four goals, following one in the Community Shield and another in the league opener away to Bournemouth.
His range of goals has been eye-catching. Headers, penalties, neat finishes, the former-PSG striker has it all in his locker and his experience of winning the top division title in every country he’s played in has provided him with the confidence to start positively at United.
Having struck an average of 4 shots at goal each game, along with an impressive 35 passes per game on average, the last month has shown us exactly how much of a team player the infamously arrogant Ibra can actually be.
