#8 Philippe Coutinho (Liverpool)
Philippe Coutinho's red-hot form last season saw him become Barcelona's top transfer target this summer. But, a failure in completing the deal and a fall-out with Jurgen Klopp had seen the Brazilian fall down the pecking order at Anfield. However, the torrid times have already passed for Coutinho as he has started to replicate his form from last season.
The Brazilian has already created 34 chances in the Premier League and the UEFA Champions League for Liverpool, notching six assists in the process. Philippe Coutinho has been mostly deployed as a left midfielder in a 4-3-3 formation this season.
The playmaker's passes have proven to be the required food for the likes of Roberto Firmino and Mohamed Salah, who have hit top form this season; he has also proved his ability in functioning on the wide left and right positions this season.
As January approaches, the 25-year-old Brazilian is again set to be the subject of a tug-of-war between the Reds and Barcelona. Holding on to Coutinho will be important for Klopp if the German tactician is targeting silverware with Liverpool this season.
