In the 26th round of the English Premier League (EPL), Manchester City beat West Ham United 2-1 at home, winning 20 consecutive matches in all competitions and leading the EPL table by 12 points. At the same time, the city is still the biggest favorite to win the Champions League, among the eight FA Cup, and with Tottenham Hotspur will meet the final of the League Cup. It is conceivable that City's season will end in success. So which player is City's biggest contributor?

As a 20-year-old youngster, Foden is only 171cm tall and weighs less than 70kg, and it would be difficult for him to adapt to the horrific physical confrontations of the Premier League, given his physical condition. But if the manager is Pep Guardiola, the result will be very different.

Season to date, Foden has made 33 appearances on behalf of City, scoring 11 goals and assisting 6 times, all three figures ranked third in the City team. Moreover, Foden is also a typical blessing, against West Ham, Foden just came on the bench and contributed to the lead for City again. To be more daring, it doesn't seem too much to say that Foden is City's Lionel Messi.

Last season, City were dumped out of the Premier League by Liverpool by 19 points, and their poor defense brought shame to Pep Guardiola. So, in the summer transfer market, City splashed out 68 million euros to sign Ruben Dias. It was undeniably a risk, but Ruben Dias quickly proved that he has no shortcomings other than being expensive.

Ruben Diaz has made 32 appearances so far this season, and although he has only scored two goals, and just scored his maiden Premier League goal against West Ham, he has been the lynchpin of the defense and has forced opponents to retreat. 26 rounds of the Premier League, Manchester City only conceded 16 goals, nine fewer than Chelsea, who have the second best defense, and Ruben Diaz has been a great help to the team!

After Fernandinho's gradual aging, Rodriguez has become an indispensable presence at the back for City. This season, Rodriguez made 36 appearances on behalf of City, only 1 goal and 3 assists, but no one dares to deny Rodriguez's contribution. The fact that he is the first in the team's number of appearances is enough to prove Rodriguez's greatness.

Under Pep Guardiola's account, Manchester City has interpreted the essence of pass-and-control soccer to the extreme, but facing the iron bucket formation set up by some teams, the city will sometimes be in trouble. At this time, Rodriguez is the City's guarantee to win the game, he can control the ball can pass the ball, there are defensive organization, both in the back position to replace Fernandinho, but also on top of the front to replace the departure of David Silva, can be said to be indispensable!

As the recognized active first midfielder in world football, De Bruyne's greatness has no need to go into too much detail, especially his passing, and then gorgeous language can not describe De Bruyne's ability to pass assists.

So far this season, De Bruyne has made 26 appearances on behalf of Manchester City, scoring only three goals, but delivering a horrific 16 assists. Unsurprisingly, De Bruyne will once again pocket the honor of being the Premier League's assists leader. It is no exaggeration to say that De Bruyne's passing is the guarantee of City's progress.

The reason why De Bruyne is listed in second place is because of Gündogan's big breakthrough. After following Pep Guardiola to City in the summer of 2016, Gündo?an has failed to prove himself, and was even mocked as the manager's "godson" at one point, which was embarrassing.

But Gündo?an's performance this season has been a revelation. So far, Gündo?an has made 29 appearances for City, scoring 13 goals and assisting 3 times, making him the top scorer in the team. Especially during the 20 consecutive wins, Gündo?an is the biggest contributor to City!
