#3 Kevin De Bruyne (Manchester City)
Kevin De Bruyne is one of the finest playmakers in the world and is perhaps the most vital cog in Pep Guardiola's system at Manchester City. Not only does the Belgian control games from midfield but he also steps into the final third on occasion to smash the ball goalwards when the opportunity pops up.
Kevin De Bruyne had a sensational 2019/20 season though Manchester City's campaign ended up being a rather underwhelming one. KDB contributed 13 goals and provided 20 assists in the Premier League alone last season. That's direct involvement in 33 goals across 35 appearances. He only started 32 games.
The Belgian often fancies himself from range and can smash the ball past the goalkeeper with his left foot just as well as he can with his right. De Bruyne was the Premier League player of the year for the 2019/20 season and he looks poised to kick on in the same vein this season.
#2 Marco Reus (Borussia Dortmund)
There's no telling just how good a player Marco Reus could have become had it not been for his frequent bouts with injury. As a result, we only know of the absolutely incredible player that the German already is despite his constant injury problems.
Reus has been Borussia Dortmund's main man since their top players decided to leave for greener pastures. Marco Reus stuck to the task and has been delivering the goods for Dortmund from midfield. Not only does he lead from the front and provide great opportunities for his teammates but he is also a prolific goalscorer.
In the Bundesliga last season, Reus scored 11 goals and provided five assists from 19 appearances. In the season prior to that, he scored a whopping 17 goals and provided eight assists from 28 appearances. It's a pity that he has never played more than 30 games in a domestic season since the 2012/13 campaign.
We'll never know just how many he would have banged in over the course of an entire season owing to how prone he is to injuries. But even without that, Reus is one of the best goalscoring midfielders in the game right now.
#1 Bruno Fernandes (Manchester United)
Even Manchester United fans wouldn't have expected Bruno Fernandes to have the sort of impact he did immediately since joining the club in January 2020. Bruno Fernandes has added creativity and a lot of goals and transformed Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side from an average one to a team that could go toe-to-toe with the very best on their day.
Bruno Fernandes had been racking up ridiculous numbers at Sporting Lisbon and he started garnering attention after scoring 20 goals and providing 13 assists in the 2018/19 season for the Portuguese outfit. He kept his prolific streak going through the 2019/20 season and changing clubs halfway through the season did not hamper his productivity.
Bruno Fernandes played 14 games for Manchester United in the Premier League in the 2019/20 season since joining in the winter transfer window and scored eight goals and provided seven assists. He also scored five goals and provided three assists across three appearances in the Europa League for the Red Devils as well.
He has started the new season on a high as well and has already scored five goals in the Premier League from seven games so far and has racked up three assists. Fernandes is easily the best goalscoring midfielder in the game right now.
