#3 Rotate the team better

Manchester City v Brighton and Hove Albion - Premier League
A player like Bernardo Silva should feature a lot more next season

A fully fit Manchester City squad is one that few teams can match and this showed clearly in the league last season. Guardiola was able to call on quality players like Bernardo Silva and Danilo off the bench whenever the need arose and these players did not look out of place whenever they were given the nod to start.

More rotation will need to be done especially when a large number of players are fit and ready to go. For the first time in a long while, Man City seem to have a sorted out backline with Fabian Delph expected to continue to deputize or even usurp Benjamin Mendy as the first choice left-back while it is doubtful if Claudio Bravo will want to stay another season in the shadow of Ederson.

If the Chilean number one decides to move, Angus Gunn, who had a good season on loan at Norwich City last season is expected to become the team's number 2. With this surfeit of quality, it is expected that Pep will rotate the players at his disposal more to keep his team fresh for its assault on all the competitions it enters next season.
