If the squad stays as it is, what is our strongest 11?

4 at the back:
Hart
Fernandinho Kompany Otamendi Clichy
Stones
Silva Gundogan
Sane Aguero De Bruyne​

3 at the back:
Hart
Stones Kompany Otamendi
Sterling Fernandinho Silva Gundogan Sane
De Bruyne

Realistically (ie Vinnie injured):

Sagna Stones Otamendi Clichy

Silva Gundogan
Sane Aguero De Bruyne

*Dinho/Gundogan either position​

That's the killer one for me.
 
Hart
Maffeo
Stones
Angelino
Zaba
Gundogan
Fernandinho
Silva
De Bruyne
Sane
Aguero

I don't think Kompany will feature this season. Fitness not ability. Otherwise he'd have been in above Stones.

That is a very versatile 3-5-2 with Zabaleta in a Mascherano type of role.
 
---------------Hart-------------
---------Komps-----Stones---------
Sagna-----Fernandinho----Clichy
------Gundogan-------KDB--------
----Sane------Aguero------Nolito---
 
All of these teams have merit.

And as an opposing manager, I would be worried about the various potential combinations. But aside from the obvious trying to hurt City with set pieces etc, I know what I would try to do, in order to beat each & every one. If I got it wrong, I would be fucked, but if it worked, City would be fucked. And it's the same tactic, with pretty much every team folks have come up with.

There is a huge glaring potential weakness which 'could' be exploited if the oppo manager has the balls to do it.
 
Have we got a strongest eleven any more?
Assuming a 4-1-4-1 formation, how do you choose four from Silva, KDB, Sterling, Sane, Gundogan and Nolito for the attacking 4. I've left out Yaya and Navas and I'm assuming Fernandinho and Aguero are the "1s".
