But looking at Manchester City’s squad, which is rich in talent, manager Roberto Mancini faces a massive predicament in terms of trying to figure out who should play in his starting eleven.
I’ve posted my recommendation for Manchester City’s starting XI. The BBC Sport Squad Selector I used to design the team wasn’t very flexible, but the formation is supposed to be a 4-5-1 which can revert to a 4-3-3 when City are on the counter attack. I’ve slotted Samir Nasri into the left midfield position, but he can push into the field to allow Gael Clichy to push forward down the left wing.
What do you think? What’s your recommendation for Manchester City’s best starting XI? Share your recommended Manchester City starting XI in the comments section below.
