Possible squad/starting XI next season?

[Cotontoquinn]

Depth wise of who can play where and the kids who have been about the 1st team training mix so far available going in pre-season.

I get this with Phillips/Cucurella in and Jesus out.

Just wanted to see the depth in each area.

Has a lot of Academy kids …..who will never feature consistently with Pep. Weak link is still up front - injury to Haaland or Alvarez and we’re back to that ‘false 9’ lineup.

Hopefully only Jesus leaves it’s an ideal squad

Ferra - Alvarez
Aguero - Haaland
Mendy - Cucurella
Ferna - Phillips
Jesus - Palmer

squad is much better for some simple moves.
IF one of the biggies leave I’d take
Bernardo - De Jong
Sterling - Raphinha/Antony

I don’t think we should move on many players. I think we will sell Jesus. If Sterling goes we should bring in another winger.

Starting 11:

Ederson (Steffen)

Cancelo (Cucurella)
Dias (Ake)
Laporte (Stones)
Walker (Zinchenko - Cancelo would go to rb)

Rodri (Phillips)
Bernardo (Gundogan)
De Bruyne (Grealish)

Foden (Grealish)
Haaland (Alvarez)
Mahrez (Sterling)


This is if outs are:
Fernandinho (free)
Gabriel Jesus
Sell a few loanees

Ins:
Erling Haaland
Julian Alvarez
Kalvin Phillips
Marc Cucurella
Bring in a few youngsters too

Saw this online and I like it based on Jesus, Raz, Bernie (don't like this), Zini leaving

This is probably the worst lineup I have seen so far, you should be ashamed for posting this.

Grealish (Foden)
Haaland (Alvarez)
Foden (Mahrez)

Fixed a few things. I expect Gabriel, Sterling, and Bernado to leave. I'm hoping that Bernado doesn't but I'm not optimistic.

If that happens we are going to need one more player. Either Phil Starts at 8 permanently and we being in a wide player or we get a CM.

I think the former is more likely. Move Phil Central and get a wide forward.

Ok. Hangs head in shame.

If we lose Silva, Sterling, Jesus and Zin I'd go with something like the below and bring in Bellingham next year if Dortmund won't sell this year.

Agree, we need another midfielder if he goes. Preferably Bellingham but it might not be possible this year.
