Could we pick two teams that would finish top six?

[richards30]

Just a bit of fun. Looking at the squad currently, if everyone is fit, healthy and on form, if we could put two teams in the league , would they both finish top six? My teams would be:

Team one

Ederson
Walker
Stones
Laporte
Mendy
Rodri
De Bruyne
Bernardo Silva
Sterling
Sane
Aguero

Team two

Bravo
Danilo
Fernandinho (no choice)
Otamendi
Angelino
Gundogan
Foden
David Silva
Mahrez
Zinchenko
Jesus

They've got to have three teams in the top six to be considered a great side.

No Mangala or Delphino, no party.

No

with Bravo playing 38 games, no, but the issue isn't your best 11 you have to be remarkably lucky to play the whole season without have to plug gaps.
I'm sure none of us would have believed that we could have won the title last year with KDB starting less than half the games and only scoring 2 goals or that Zinchenko would play more times in the league than Mendy two years ago and we would end up with 100 points

If Pep’s managing them too.

A little big headed don’t you think

If you were picking two teams with that aim you'd mix them up a bit more - KdB in one side, Bernardo in the other, likewise Sterling and Sane, Stones and Laporte.

Put Fernandinho in that first choice XI. He’s still one of our three/four most important players.

If you wanted to guarantee two teams finishing top six, why would you put all your best players in one of them?
