It's Haaland and there's not much competition really. If you're introducing someone to football, Haaland is probably the first PL player you mention

This is how I’d shape my Manchester City squad heading into 2026/27. Balancing what we need now with what this team is becoming.
First off, I’m bringing in Elliot Anderson and putting him straight into the team alongside Nico O’Reilly. That midfield has energy, legs, and a bit of personality about it. Nico Gonzalez then becomes a really strong rotation option. Someone who can come in without the level dropping, but not someone I’m building around every week.
At right back, I’m starting Matheus Nunes there. That said, I’d have brought in Givairo Read and be developing him properly, with a clear plan for him to take over that position in the long term.
On the other side, Rayan Ait-Nouri is my left back. For me, he’s the best option in that role. He is comfortable going forward, sharp in possession, and fits exactly what we need. He also gives you flexibility, because he can rotate with Nico O’Reilly if needed, which opens up different midfield options depending on the game.
Centre back pairing pretty much picks itself. Marc Guehi is a given. He is reliable, composed, and a leader. Alongside him, Abdukodir Khusanov has earned his place. He’s not just there for now, he’s the future of this club defensively.
In goal, I’m going with James Trafford. If we’re committing to playing out from the back and using a sweeper keeper, then fully commit to it. Don’t force a traditional shot stopper into something he’s not. Trafford is ready in my opinion... and people forget Ederson came in at the same age Trafford is now.
Out wide, it has to be Jeremy Doku and Antoine Semenyo. That’s pace, directness, and constant threat. For me, that’s non negotiable. If I’m making big calls, I’d probably move Savinho on and look to bring in someone like Michael Olise instead. This adds another layer of quality and creativity out wide.
Then centrally, it’s all about Rayan Cherki and Erling Haaland. That’s the future. Cherki brings the creativity and unpredictability, Haaland does what he does. Those two need to be the core of everything we build going forward.
With Bernardo Silva likely leaving in the summer, I haven’t included him here. In terms of captaincy, you’re probably looking at Haaland or Guehi stepping into that role based on this team. But if it was me, I’d look at whether Nico O’Reilly, the academy boy, could grow into that responsibility. Sometimes that connection to the club means more than anything.
Thoughts? #Willo4CityManager?
