Realistic starting 11 and squad for next season

[BlueMedic]

If we add Danilo, Mendy, CB & forward I think we'll have had a fantastic window.

Keepers: ____________________________________ First 11:
Ederson (F1) _________________________________ Ederson
Bravo (F2) _______________________ Walker _ Kompany _ Stones _ Mendy
___________________________________________ Gundogan
Fullbacks: _____________________________ De Bruyne _ David Silva
Walker (HG1) _________________________ Jesus ___ Aguero ___ Sane
Danilo (F3)
Mendy (F4) _____________________ Bench: Bravo Danilo Otamendi Yaya Dinho B. Silva Sterling
Kolarov (F5)

CB:
Kompany (F6)
Stones (HG2)
Otamendi (F7)
?

DM:
Yaya (F8)
Gundogan (F9)
Fernandinho (F10)

CM:
Silva (F11)
Silva (F12)
De Bruyne (F13)

Wingers:
Sane (F14)
Sterling (HG3)
Roberts (HG4)
?

Strikers:
Aguero (F15)
Jesus (F16)

That gives us 16 foreign players & 4 home grown players, space for the youngsters & a couple more signings.

To much defence on the bench

Replace Bravo with the ? forward, sorted.

I think Jesus - being under 21 - isn't even on a foreign spot for domestic competitions. Same for 2018/19.
But he definitely is for European matches right now.

Without Mangala, Denayer, Fernando, (Delph,) Nasri, Bony and Iheanacho

...we have 4 free foreign spots for FA,
...but only 2 free spots for UEFA CL (Sané and Jesus being on a foreign spot there!).

Foreign spots:
1 Ederson.......2 Bravo
3 Kompany......4 Otamendi.....5 ( new CB? Mangala?)
6 Mendy.........7 Danilo
8 Gundogan......9 Fernandinho....10 Yaya Touré
11 David Silva....12 KDB...........13 Bernardo Silva
14 Aguero...........15 ........
16 (left winger?)...17 (left back?)

Homegrown:
18 Stones...19 Sterling.....20 Walker

U21 (domestic competitions):
Sané and Gabriel Jesus.............-> taking a foreign spot in UEFA CL matches though!!
Adarabioyo...Maffeo...Aleix Garcia...Roberts...Foden...Diaz.....

After Danilo and Mendy are announced, I reckon we're one CB and one forward away from a full well-polished squad. Reckon Foden and maybe Adarabioyo could make up numbers in the squad as well. Diaz, Garcia and most likely Roberts will be loaned out.

Also, think Sané still counts as u21 for the upcoming domestic season. Would taken a foreign spot in the CL as well though.

You're right, Sané has turned 21 in January 2017 and still counts as U21. Thanks mate.

That makes:
4 domestic free foreign spots and
2 UEFA CL free foreign spots.

With colours :)
Smallish squad but packed with quality and versatility.

1. Ederson [GK]
2. Bravo [GK]
3. Muric* [GK]
4. Kompany [CB]
5. Stones* [CB]
6. Otamendi [CB]
7. =CB/LB=
8. Mendy [LB/LWB]
9. Walker* [RB/RWB]
10. Danilo [RB/RWB/LB/LWB/DM]
11. Fernandinho [DM/CM/RB]
12. Toure [DM]
13. Gundogan [DM/CM]
14. Silva [CM]
15. Foden* [CM]
16. De Bruyne [CM/RW]
17. Bernardo [RW/CM]
18. Sterling* [RW/LW]
19. Sane [LW/RW]
20. G.Jesus [ST/LW/RW]
21. Aguero [ST]
22. =LW/ST=

- Muric isn't actually HG yet but is under 21 tho so for PL it's like he's HG. Grimshaw likely to be CL 3rd choice

- CB/LB the ideal. My prediction would be Badstuber if it's true we are after cover rather than a big money signing. Seems strange Badstuber doesn't have a club yet. Perhaps we've asked him to wait

- LW/ST obviously Sanchez but probably unlikely. Not sure who plan B is, if we have one.
