Answers in a postcard please.

hart

Zabaleta
Kompany
Nasty
Clichy

Fernandinho

Yaya

Jovetic (freedom role)
Silva

Kun
Negredo

Bench-pants, Navas(tear teams apart in second half), Rodwell, Milner, Edin, Nasri, Micah.

Amazingly this leaves Barry, Kolarov, Garcia, lescott and guidetti out of the squad complete
Y which demonstrates how strong we are.

I fancy us for the league.
 
Hart, Zabaleta, Kompany, Nastasic, Clichy, Yaya, Fernandinho, Silva, Navas, Aguero, Jovetic


Subs: Pantilimon, Richards, Kolarov, Milner, Negredo, Nasri Dzeko
 
Hart
Zabaleta, Kompany, Nastasic, Clichy
Fernandinho, Yaya, Rodwell
Navas, Aguero, Silva
 
We will not have a fixed starting eleven or even a best eleven. Probably a 13 with regular round of set substitutions so that certain places will play 1.5 games out of 3. I can see Silva and Nasri being rotated in this way and maybe Negredo and Dzeko.

Additional players: Wright, Boyata, Razak, Suarez, Lopes, Džeko, Guidetti

There may be variations to 4222 or 433 but in the last few years Pellegrini has predominantly played 4231.

I think our achilles heel may still be the forwards with City seeking to play 2-3 when we'd do better with 5 in midfield, supporting one regular striker
 
I cannot think of a stand out starting 11. The squad is that good. The best way IMO. It will keep the players on there toes knowing the positions are not guaranteed. Hart kompany yaya silva Aguero are the spine of the team. My perfect midfield will be yaya fernandinho and rodwell providing he can stay fit. Jovetic and Aguero have the potential to form a class partnership and with silva roaming around the pitch it's going to be a intrestesting year.

Hart

Zabba
Nasty
Kompany
Clichy
Rodwell
Yaya
Fernando
Silva
Jovetic
Aguero

Alternative is

Hart
Zabba
Kompany
Nasty
Clichy
Fernando
Yaya
Navas
Silva
Jovetic
Aguero
 
Hart
Zabba-Kompany-Nastasic-Clichy
Fernandinho/Yaya -rotate as necessary to keep fresh for 4 competitions
Navas-Jovetic-Silva -With all 3 alternating positions through flowing system
Aguero----Negredo

or

Hart
Zabba-Kompany-Nastasic-Clichy
Fernandinho
Yaya --Silva
Aguero-Negredo-Jovetic
