Think we are going to see a really hybrid formation, sort of like City had last(20-21) season, what with that Joao Cancelo free role.

And this particularly means xhaka is out of the best lineup and will probably leave.

Following is what I think, although it looks a bit mad.

Ramsdale 1.Turner 7.ESR

White Saliba 2.Gabriel 8.Martinelli

Tomiyasu Martinez 3.Odegaard 9. KT

Partey 4.Elneny

Fabio Tielemans 5.Cedric

Raphinha Jesus Saka 6.Nketiah

​

I like it, in terms of technique I think 2 poor players in the 20, cedric and elneny. 5 players attacking the box at all times, 2 wingers who can hold width by themselves.
