It's amazing, many, myself included, when asked to pick their strongest Xl pre-season didn't put him in our team. Don't think many would not put him in their Xl now. He's certainly back in mine.

I certainly wouldn't have, on last season's form. But then again, none of last season's team would get into this one apart from Aguero & Fernandinho.

Going off last season's form I think most of us would only have picked five players (Hart, Sagna, Fernandinho, de Bruyne and Kun) and would struggle to have filled any more spaces in the XI :)
 
Most people thought it was either/or Silva or kdb, with the majority picking kdb. but pep has the system to have them both in it, with dinho. Will be interesting when gundogen is fit and fighting for a starting place. I personally have no idea, could be kdb,Silva and gund with dinho moving to the backline, cb or rb. Or dinho, Silva and gund, with kdb going into the wide attacking role, at who's expense I have no idea, sterling and nolito both looking good + sane available soon. Exciting times. We might just see the 4 of them rotated into our midfield 3 keeping them all fresh, I'm sure pep knows best

Yeah - definitely. At the end of last season I was convinced that he'd be used sparingly and behind KDB this season. As it turns out Silva's rolling back the years and looking the player he was a few seasons ago. If he can maintain fitness/consistency it'll be like a brand new world class signing for me. TBH he already feels like that.
