How do you solve a problem like MNC

I am in the same boat, I really feel I need Man City player in my team but Pep's rotation policy makes it difficult.

De Bruyne is the most nailed on to play in my opinion and I don't agree with the fact that him dropping deeper will mean he won't get points. He is probably the best passer in the Premiership and he got a lot of assists last season from hitting the opposition on the break with long passes over the top for the likes of Aguero to latch on to. But at £10m I can't justify him because I have opted for a pretty pricey attack so I can't get him in my team without it becoming seriously unbalanced.

More than likely Sterling will be the one who suffers and is reduced to a bench position because he simply isn't as good as the other players they have.

Given how he performed in the second half of the season Sane would be hard done by not to be starting but this is Pep we are talking about and his position may be under threat from Gabriel Jesus.

I think the two Silva's will be competing for the same position and at the moment it's hard to see who will get the nod.

My plan is as follows. I have also kept 0.5m in the bank. I've opted to play Pedro for Gameweek 1 given Chelsea are home to Burnley and Hazard will be out. If Mahrez is still at Leicester I am going to bring him in for Gameweek 2 as they are home to Brighton. After City's first few games of the season pan I will assess the lineups and their performance then pull the trigger on either Sane or one of the Silva's.
