1st
Neuer
Alves - Puyol - Pique - Alaba
Xavi - Busquets - Iniesta
Messi - Lewandowski - Ribery
2nd
Valdes
Lahm - Boateng - Mascherano - Abidal
Muller - Alonso - Silva
Robben - Aguero - Sanchez
Jesus the second team isnt half bad
Apologies if this has been done before but I was thinking who from the current City squad would get in a Pep combined 11.
So from the 3 teams Pep's managed I'd only have Kun scrapping in but still not 100% certain.
Pep doesn't seem to fancy Aguero in this 11.

difficult this one cause there are a number of elements to consider....
1. players at their peak performance
2. which league
1. I think Kompany at his peak (forgetting injury issues) walks into any team...remember Boatang in the prem....couldnt hack it. Whether it be in the premiership or abroad, Kompany was good enough to be in the starting 11 and certainly in Pep's premiership 11.
2. Silva in the prem would
3. Kun would be there or there about, certainly in the premiership
4. Yaya - in the prem...he has dominated the prem for a couple of years....so in a pep premiership 11 yes he gets in...not outside it though.
this does show you the vast gulf in class of the rest of the squad however that pep finds himself working with.....(I'm ignoring sane and GJ as no one really can say the heights those two might hit and we are comparing them against the established best of the best)

Good topic this. Although, I don’t have the breadth of knowledge of football to offer an opinion.

Toure would and Aguero would. Some like Busquets would get found out in prem.
Toure didn't. Pep got rid of him, remember?

Pep has never had a fit Kompany.Surely a fit Kompany would get in?
In fact if we are talking about players at their peak under Pep at the time, none of ours would even get close to a second 11.
Silva has had a good season for us, but he's still off his peak, Toure peaked here, so Pep never had that luxury, ditto Aguero, and they are the only four that would be under consideration from any of our current or past squads imho.
Neuer
Lahm
Alaba
Pique
Puyol
Busquets
Xavi
Iniesta
Messi
Bony
Henry
Navas? Bravo???
