Yep, I'm bored. Nothing to talk about with NYCFC, so maybe this will be a fun topic.

Of course, as I write this and realize I'm going to end up with mostly City and LFC players, I realize it might not stoke that much debate.

Unlike MLS TOTS, I ask that you out together a team you'd actually be able to play in a match. I've gone with a 4/3/3.

GK: Alisson
RB: Wan-Bissaka
CB: Virgil, LaPorte
LB: Robertson
MF: Fernandinho, Wijnaldum, Bernardo Silva
F: Sterling, Salah, Hazard

POTY: Virgil

First, I went with Aubamayeng over Hazard, then I was tempted to stick Hazard back in MF to fit both in. But I think it's easier to just drop Aubameyang. That said, I think if I were constructing the very best squad to win one game, Hazard would get dropped for Aubameyang and I'd move Mo to RW, Sterling to LW.

I could be convinced on someone other than Fernandinho, but he is so important to City. If Fabinho had been playing all year with the form of his last month, it might be him. But it's only a month, so alas, it can't be him.

Weird leaving out Kane, but I'm okay with it. I find him annoying, and he'd cause locker room issues claiming everyone else's goals.
