Paul Pogba is making a name as a prospect to superstardom come two to three years from now. However since Pogba is currently lost in multi-faceted roles and can't define yet which position he is best at playing, it resulted into a variation of superb and sometimes not so good performances.

Dimitri Payet may be sitting out a few matchups but eòxpect Payetmania will resume with West Ham onboard to capitalize on his prolific footwork this season. Payet is also receiving help from newly acquired Andrew Ayew to sank those timely goals. His team-mates Arthur Masauku and goal-setter Slaven Bilic also expressed full support. One indication that Payetmania is here to last for the Premier League is largely due to the a handful of squads who expressed interest in Payet during the pre-season.
John Stones is another young talent on the rise affirmed after moving to Manchester. His role is quite simple yet complicated. He will play center back and go for the win. This is a tall order, but can be justified after he signed to become the most expensive defender in the Premier League battlegrounds.
The 22-year old Stones can be an attack force for Manchester, depending on what he can bring into the plate since he is known to be a huge risk taker. The fearless Stones can either attack with a dint of talent or stupid brashness.
Jamie Vardy's worth is subjected into questions after failing to participate in some European Championships. However, one of the definitive proof regarding Vardy's skills was seen when he closed the season scoring almost all of Leicaster's 38 matches (24 goals).

N'Golo Kante – the best midfield defender for Leicaster.
Eden Hazard – crowned as the best player in EPL
Kevin De Bruyne – is still tutored by Pep Guardiola, but many are expecting great things from him such as winning the coveted Player of the Year award.
