Team A v Team B

[Dax777]

Team B. Has the least disruption. Only Stones is new. The rest were here last season.

Team A has Sane,

B. Fewer defensive mistakes, more energy in midfield, high pace on both wings and the most clinical striker in EPL history. Interesting to think about, also good to know that we could lose half our squad and still have a good enough XI to finish top 4

Hart > Caballero
Zabaleta < Sagna
Kompany > Otamendi
Mangala < Stones
Kolarov < Clichy
Fernando < Fernandinho
Toure > Delph
Sané > Navas
De Bruyne > Silva
Nolito < Sterling
Iheanacho < Aguero

Sterling over Nolito? I'll take a push on that one.

 

[I'm no cynic but...]

It all depends on what formation Pep will go with this season. Apart from Stones, and he's a footballer rather than a defender, all our signings have been aimed at playing the game in the opposition's half. I wouldn't rule him out of going 3-5-2 with our wide players effectively being wing backs.

Sterling over Nolito? I'll take a push on that one.

I think he's better suited to the PL at least, and because of his pace he balances out with Navas. Sterling isn't better right now, but under Guardiola he can reach that level.

Gundogan?
