It's impressive considering the bulk of Lewis's impact came during mid-season. Most of the other players have multiple years at senior level.

However, it's a bit of a popularity contest (what isn't?). So you can take that to mean whatever you choose.

Top player

 

[Gabriel]

I think that he will ultimately end up playing in midfield. He played 6 full games last season, admittedly the last three were dead rubbers, and was brought off late and for the ovation in others. That suggests that he will have little problem building stamina in the coming years, and as he becomes physically stronger, he'll become a tough little nugget. He's only 2cm shorter than Kante and I could see him developing in that mould.

 

[Salford in the City]

Was going great guns until that Spurs away game.

During that game he was targeted, kicked from all angles, and with no protection from the officials whatsoever.

Pep then rightly took him out of the firing line, bringing him back for the last couple of games.

All that would have been a massive experience and learning curve for him, and he'll definitely be a better player next season for it.

Really looking forward to him establishing himself, and going from strength to strength!

Having seen what Pep does improving older players imagine what he can do with a teenager

Looks like Rico is the only player around the first time who hasnt got a new contract. Anyone heard any rumors of a new deal ?

Swear he signed one or was rumoured to be

 

[Legal Alien]

He had a great first season and his promotion into the first team was a real bonus.

I think he's going to be a midfielder for us and i'm really looking forward to watch him develop under Pep.

Brilliant player. A fantastic breakout season.

Personally I really like him at right-back but I understand why midfield may be suitable long term. I really hope he gets even more playing time next season.

I mean… Foden, Sané, Sterling, Jesus, Zinchenko, Palmer

We’ve seen how he can improve teenagers, no need to imagine

 

[Hoghead]

Seems like he's not good enough for the England Under 21 squad.
Why?

City requested for him to rest this summer he is on his holidays

Not exactly. Even Rodri, despite his crazy number of games, played for Spain in the Nations League.

Carsley said: “We took Rico’s age into consideration - he will have a full campaign next year. He has played a part in City’s success. We gave him the experience in the last camp. We felt with Lewis Hall as well, we have to take into consideration the amount of stress and pressure they’ve had to deal with. And for his age it is important he regroups and gets his energy back for next season. At the moment, there are players ahead of him but he will play a big part in the future.”


Basically, it is a diplomatic way of saying his time will come, but this year, in his mind, was too soon for him.

Who's ahead of him out of interest?

 

[Haaland94]

I don't know. I don't even watch it.
edit: according to a quick google search, it's Max Aarons and Ben Johnson. Infinitely less talent, but perhaps more physically developed.

The game I watched it looked like Garner a utd player, to be fair he was one of Englands better players unlike his team mate Gomes who was crap.
Hope Lewis gets more playing time playing at right back next season, would rather see him as a top right back than a good versatile player.

Max aarons!? Swear he's like 26 haha. They defo have their favourites in the England set up... Rico will have a much better career than both hopefully
