What is our strongest XI when everyone is fit?

All season long, we have lacked goals and assists because Savinho and Doku are very young but in my opinion City are going to play Bobb, Haaland and Marmoush as a front 3. I think we sold Alvarez with the idea that Bobb would replace him.

You add 15 goals to this side even without adding ROdri we become a very strong side indeed.

We need to address the right back (Akanji or Rico) are not specialist right backs, and we need to bring in a midfielder. MGW would be my pick but it will only work if Forest are kicked out of the CL. CL qualification is going to be massive and very hard as Newcastle and Villa are likely going to push hard in the remaining games.

For next season, as of now:

-------------Ederson----------------
Lewis--- Dias--- Gvardiol---O'Reilly
-----Gonzalez-- Rodri-- Foden------
Bobb--------Haaland------Marmoush

I assume that KDB, Stones, and Grealish will be gone.

He looks a top talent, but what has Bobb done to be a guaranteed starter? He’s barely played

Agreed.
Nevertheless, I would pick him as part of our strongest eleven as things stand for next season. I watched him extensively in the academy prior his promotion and I think he is potentially a world-class player.
As I posted, this assumes that KDB, Grealish, and Bernardo are all gone.
I don't yet know who we will sign.

I like your team, but based on history, I'd want Foden where you put Bobb and someone else where you put Foden ( Perhaps Bobb)

Foden is best beating a player, cutting in on his left and taking amazing curling shots. In midfield, he often looks lost or just passes backwards if the ball doesn't come to him in counter attack mode. Having him and Marmoush as goal scoring wide players might reinvigorate our attack line.

Sadly, Bobb is the closest thing to a playmaker on the squad, (hasn't earned it yet, but he looks the most talented in tight spaces. Against top clubs play Gonzo and Rodri at the base and Bobb ahead. Against less daunting teams, maybe 1 of Rodri or Gonzo plus Bobb and Kova/Gundo type.

I totally agree on defense.

I like our team, about 2 or 3 additions ( competition For Bobb in that AM role) Right Back starter/ competition and left back competition for O'Reilly maybe just enough.

Marmoush and Foden Have competition in Doku and Savio. Rodri has competition in Gonzo. Dias and Gvardiol have competition in Khusa, Reis, and Akanji.

Full backs and a creative midfield maestro are the only areas needing competition.


Side note: I really like Maca, but everyone seems to be convinced he is leaving. Id personally consider him a highly coveted scoring forward in the mold of Marmoush and Foden

I put him there because of the protection of Gonzalez AND Rodri, augmented by Lewis/O'Reilly stepping into midfield. Effectively he then is freed to make the most of his attacking prowess, assuming he gets back to what he was.
