Raheem Sterling - 6.78
Following a £50m move last summer, it's been a disappointing start to life at Manchester City for Raheem Sterling, who has scored a modest six goals and registered only two assists. His goal against bottom club Aston Villa in March is his only league strike since the turn of the year.
John Stones - 6.82
After a summer of hype surrounding a potential move to Chelsea, John Stones has recorded an underwhelming 6.82 WhoScored rating.

Joe Hart - 6.73
Hart has tended to save his best performances for Europe, with a WhoScored.com rating of 6.94 in the Champions League, though no keeper has kept more clean sheets in England's top-flight this season (15).

Simon Francis - 7.15

Scott Dann - 7.05
The top-scoring centre-back in the Premier League with five goals, Scott Dann is a fan favourite at Palace and has put his body on the line to block the most shots in the top-flight (45).
MIDFIELDERS
Dele Alli - 7.35
With 10 goals and nine assists, Dele Alli has had a direct hand in more goals than any other player in Europe's top five leagues under the age of 21. With a further 2.2 tackles and 1.8 interceptions per game he has proven to be a superb all-round midfielder.
Ross Barkley - 7.33
Although his season has tailed off in accordance with Everton's demise there is no doubt this was a breakthrough season for Barkley, with eight goals and eight assists in the league.
Michail Antonio - 7.32
