5. Sergio Aguero – 23 goals, 31 appearances –
Sergio Aguero has been the shining light in a below-par season by City’s standards. In a season in which they were truncated by FFP, with their number of players in the UEFA Champions league squad being reduced from 25 to 21, and the remaining strikers at the club misfiring, with Stefan Jovetic and Edin Dzeko not living up to their deadly potential and Alvaro Negredo moving back to Spain on a season-long loan, Sergio Aguero has lifted their game and has covered for the one-dimensional play that City have shown, when he has not been on the treatment table for a slew of injuries which has left City rudderless for most of the season.
