I think the most likely to go as others have said will be
Demichelis
Yaya
Bony
Kolarov
And one other Sagna or Zabba.

I think it will only be 4 or 5 changes to start with. Coming in then
CB
Midfielder
Creative forward of some kind
R wing back
L wing back. Interesting to see if that is what happens or if people get used in different positions. Could see VK or Oto being moved to midfield position even. No idea though really just speculating.
 
Having thought on it, i now think that it will go something lke this:

BUY:
Gundogan
Weigl/Dahoud?
Laporte
Bernat
Sane
David Villa?
Valdes?

SELL:
Yay
Martin
Bony
Aleks
Gael
Willy
Navas
Mangala?

Promote:
Gunn
Denayer
Angelino
Barker?

Team might look like this
Hart
Zab Kompany Laporte Bernat
Gundogan
Dinho Silva
Sterling Kun De Bruyne

Valdes
Sagna Denayer Nico Angelino
Weigl Fernando Delph
Sane Kelechi Nasri
 
IMO:

Keepers:

Dickie Wright in getting a bit old and probably needs replacement. The other two will stay.

Backs:

Won't see much change here, apart from a new left back (he might possibly promote Angelino) and Denayer in for Demichelis.

Central Midfield:

Where we'll see the biggest change. A group of Fernandinho, Yaya, Fernando and Delph doesn't seem quality enough. Yaya and one of Fernando and Delph to go (I'd say Fernando), to be replaced by Pogba/Gundogan and a defensive midfielder who's not as limited as Fernando.

Attacking Midfield:

Can't see much change here. I think he'll keep both Navas and Nasri for the time being, whilst Sterling, Silva and De Bruyne are pretty much set in stone.

Strikers:

Bony to be sold for someone who isn't lazy and with half decent movement.

With a DM sitting in front of him and with Pep moulding him, Mangala could become world class. He has all the physical and athletic ability.

True, he is only 25 (today's his birthday) which some people including myself seem to forget. Under a tactical manager he could improve as you've said and I hope he does.
 
We can all be sure that players like Fernando, Bony, Kolarov and clichy doesn't suit Pep at all. Yaya and Demi are already leaving so there will no doubt there but these slow, uncreative player will have to get new clubs. People saying Fernando can stay needs to look at how he currently looks at defensive mids and compare. Can fernando put a 50 yard pass? no. Can he pass a cutting one through someones midfield? no. he doesn't suit it all. We will be needing 3-6 signings (Including youth) to fill out and lower the average age of our squad now... We are old.

The pivote will not be Fernando IMO. Maybe Denayer or A Garcia but I suspect we'll buy someone to play there.
