I am wondering how we all think we are going to set about our title defence this season and given that we are not going to see wholesale changes to the squad who are going to be the mainstays of our first choice 11?
Its going to be interesting as I can see some of our "old guard" taking on a reduced role as we continue to build for the future, I think that Kompany, Silva & Aguero will no longer be automatic starters
Of course it Pep will change his team dependant upon the opposition and our CL matches but there will always be a core of the team who will start 30+ league games. So who do we think they are?
I'm going for the following based on us playing a similar formation to last year.
7 of the 11 to basically pick themselves, the centre half positions are the ones that I just cant pin down but I would love to see Stones in there.
------------------------Ederson------------------------
Walker--------???????-----------Laporte------Mendy
-------------------------Ferny--------------------------
-------------KDB-------------------???????--------------
????????--------------------------------------------Sane
