Social media site Instagram came online in October 2010 and has around 300 million active users. Facebook has 467 million active users while Twitter lags way behind on 31m.
While the majority of Manchester City players are active on many of the above platforms on this occasion I want to focus on how many followers each one has via their respective official Instagram account.

I have deliberately omitted several player accounts as there is no way of knowing whether they are official or fake. I mean why would anyone want to create a fake account?
