Yaya Toure falls into the very same category as his City teammate. At the peak of his career in Manchester, Toure was the most frightening footballer in the league as he marauded up and down the pitch scoring goals at will, setting up his teammates and even galloping back to defend when called upon. His progress seemed to stall around the time of his controversial discontent at the Etihad, with a rumour circulating that the club had forgotten his birthday, flaring up Toure's temper. His future looked in serious doubt, but he remained with City and has started this campaign in a refreshed state. Again, akin to Kompany, Toure slid from 86 to 85, but consistent performances could see him shoot back up.
