Realistic starting 11 and squad for next season

[The Fat el Hombre]

Should've specified it was Yaya Touré, not Kolo.

Made me lol.

Tosin won't be in there. We look a but light in centre mid possibly? Unless pep blans to play bernardo there at all?

If we include our most linked targets, we'll have 1 world-class player in every position, 1 potentially world-class one for rotation as well as a prospect either on loan or in the academy (who I've bracketed):

GK: Ederson, Bravo
LB: Mendy, Bertrand, (Angelino)
CB: Kompany, Otamendi, Stones, Kolarov, Tosin
RB: Alves, Walker, (Maffeo)
CDM: Fernandinho, Toure, Delph, (Aleix Garcia)
LW/CAM/RW: Silva, De Bruyne, Bernardo Silva, Sanchez, Sane, Sterling (Robers, Zinchenko, Manu Garcia)
ST: Aguero, Jesus, (Moreno)

I like this squad. Nice blend of experience and youth. I have a general question. Could John stones or Tosin be used as the pivot?

Squad is too big, I imagine you forgot about Gundogan, which if added would make your squad 30 players.

For example, if Dinho, Toure and Delph are your CDMs, of which we play with only 1, then Aleix is better off being loaned out.

It's possible I misunderstood your naming of these players, are you saying you want Angelino and Maffeo in the squad as backups to the other fullbacks, or you want them in the squad in the future? Because with 4 fullbacks they would get no playtime, Maffeo could replace Alves after he leaves.

I'd be very happy with this line up:

-------------------Ederson-------------------
Walker--Kompany-----Pepe----Mendy
Silva/KDB---Fabinho-----Silva
Sane-----------Aguero---------Sanchez

 

[City_Sean]

Thinking we may see something of this ilk:

Ederson
Walker Kompany Stones Mendy
KDB Gundogan Silva
Sterling Aguero Sanchez

Subs: Bravo, Alves, Otamendi, Yaya, Sane, Silva, Jesus.
