Alternative striker options

Mahrez would play on the wing and Bernardo would move centrall. Mahrez would rotate with Sane and Sterling.

"Bernardo would move central" — and play ahead of whom? Kevin? David? Gundogan?

Sane is a left winger, Mahrez has only played on the right flank - so he'd be a 70m backup for Sterling...?

Sane was a left footed player that had mainly played on the right, Mahrez is also a left footer that has played mainly on the right so I have little doubt Pep could use Mahrez on either side and in the middle as well if needed

Bernardo long term position for us in the center he will need to get games there.
Pep moves his wingers from side to side a lot and 3 wingers for 2 positions can be happy with a good amount of rotation.
 
How many hight profile strikers can we have in the squad since we mostly use 1 ?
2 with one being slightly junior. That's the reason we need to get Nmecha and Diaz integrated into the first team whenever possible. It's all well and good having interchanging players but they will always be more effective in their natural position.

Nmecha would probably score a few goals if he played together with the likes of KDB, Silva, Sane and Sterling. He has shown for the EDS that he is a good finisher, and our players would feed him with a lot of chances
 
"Manchester City have moved to secure the summer transfer of Rafael Leao, a teenage striker widely regarded as the most impressive attacking talent in Portuguese football.
The English Premier League club — which has outspent all domestic and European rivals since Pep Guardiola’s appointment as coach — has offered Sporting a fee of €25 million ($30.7 million) for the 18-year-old, according to sources familiar with the approach."
Article by Duncan Castles, so not sure how to treat it, lol.

Perhaps he could play as a false 9. You could play him in the middle with D Silva and KDB behind. Jesus cutting in from the left and Mahrez cutting in from the right. Mendy could provide the width on the left side . Walker would took into midfield freeing up KDB to provide the width on the right side.
