Take one player per Prem team and build a side to win the league this year, so durability and versatility matter. Health too, no picking De Bruyne unless you'r fine with him being out 3 months:
F: Aubameyang Salah Arnautovic
W: Sane Zaha
CM: Eriksen Kante Seri Doucoure Neves
FB: Kongolo Coleman Bertrand
CB: Maguire Tarkowski Ake Lascelles
GK: De Gea Etheridge
----Aubameyang---Salah-- (Arnautovic)
Sane--------Eriksen-------- (Zaha, Propper)
--------Kante---Seri-------- (Doucoure, Lemina)
Kongolo-------------Coleman (Jonny)
----Maguire-Lascelles----- (Tarkowski, Ake)
---------De Gea------------- (Etheridge)
-Easiest choices were Salah, Seri, Aubameyang (rough month aside he scores goals), Tarkowski, De Gea, Kongolo, Zaha, Arnautovic and Lascelles since they all seem solidly better than their teammates to me.
-Once I had those guys, I knew I needed some chance creating types to get Aubameyang and Salah their 30 goals.
-Picked Jonny because he can play LB or RB. Ake can cover LB too and for RB I guess you just throw a CB at if you're defending or tied and maybe one of the midfielders if offence is needed.
-Really wanted to pick Kane as he's better than Aubameyang in buildup but I needed Eriksen once I decided to go with Sane's youth and width over any other City player with De Bruyne out and David Silva a year older. I wouldn't be surprised if someone come up with a smart way to do it, either by playing 4-3-3 or
-CM size is a concern but Doucoure can partner Kane instead of Seri if that's ever an issue.
-Gross is a solid backup 10 but he's real slow so I went with Propper who's a decent if agricultural 10 and another passing CM if Seri goes goes down. If Eriksen is a key man in a pressing system I'd rather have Propper there than Gross replacing him.
-The top team's CBs don't seem generally that impressive apart from Van Dijk and I think Salah's extra 20 goals or so I'd put him at edge out the difference between Van Dijk and whichever one of Lascelles or Tarkowski wins the RCB job as the organizer next to Maguire.
I kinda feel like someone can make a better team with Kane, Hazard and Van Dijk instead of Eriksen, Kante and Salah, maybe a 4-3-3 like Sarri would play with Seri in the Jorginho role?
