It's no secret that Manchester City has set itself the goal of being at the forefront of every competition this season, competing for the finals and championships. The team under Josep Guardiola's leadership has been sufficiently indicating this intention through their current performances and results. However, after the international break in November, the Citizens face serious opponents in both the Premier League and the Champions League.
For this reason, esteemedkompany.com, one of England's football luminaries, has published a new ranking of the team based on individual performance in previous matches. Learn more about the game, stability, and team contribution provided by the players below.
Goalkeepers
Italian Gianluigi Donnarumma adapted very quickly with City and earned 8.5 points. His saves saved the team in many matches, and at the same time, his leadership qualities are clearly manifested. James Trafford, despite being in the starting lineup at the start of the season, remained on the bench after Donnarumma's arrival (6.5/10).
Defenders
Mateusz Nunes has become a real revelation in recent weeks, taking over the right wing. Rating - 8.5. Rico Lewis (6/10) hasn't been able to say his word yet this season, playing more in midfield.
Abdukodir Khusanov (6/10), due to injuries, does not have a full opportunity, but showed that he is capable of playing on the right wing.
Ruben Dias (8/10) has returned to a higher level as the heart of the defense. Although Yoshko Guardiol (7/10) struggled at the start of the season, he has now undoubtedly become a key player. John Stones (7/10), despite returning from injury, is playing confidently.
Nathan Ake recorded a low score of 5.5 points - at the same time, he lost his place against the backdrop of competition in the team. Meanwhile, Nico O'Reilly (9/10) is one of City's brightest candidates this season: an extremely effective game, a debut for the England national team, and taking full control of the left wing.
Ait-Nuri started the season poorly due to injuries - 5/10.
Midfield
Nico González (9/10) is one of the most consistent performers this season. He has been inconspicuously replacing Rodri. Rodri himself (6/10) missed some games due to injuries.
Bernardo Silva, with 8 points, is once again demonstrating his captaincy. Although Tijani Reynders (7/10) started very well in debut matches, there was a slight decline in his performance later due to the adaptation phase.
Phil Foden (9/10) in the strongest form of the season. In every match, he demonstrates his game brilliantly.
Attackers
Oscar Bobb (6/10), despite creating brilliant chances, is struggling with consistency. Ryan Sherkey (7.5/10) stood out with three goals and three assists after returning from injury. Savino (6.5/10) is one of the players looking for stability.
Jeremy Doku (9/10) is the most successful player in the summer transfer window. His match against Liverpool is cited as one of the best of the year.
Omar Marmush (5/10) missed his full opportunity due to injuries. And, of course, Erling Haaland is the absolute leader with 19 goals in 15 games and a 10/10 rating. In addition to scoring goals, he also has a great influence on organizing team play.
The intensity of competition within Manchester City, the individual growth of players, and the flexibility of Guardiola's tactics are a good signal before the upcoming tough matches. As you can see, the team has a leader in every position and remains one of the serious contenders in the Premier League and the Champions League.
