I was just wondering which player posters think will surprise us the most this season and why?
My pick will be firmino. I think with lack of game time last season he will be fresh and ready to play when called upon. I can see him getting 10+ leauge goals this coming season.

I think Trent. Him and Robbo are the assist kings but I believe Trent has it in his locker to score double figure goals a season.

His ability to shoot from distance should get him far more goals than what he does and he was actually out scored by Robbo last season.

I can see him finding his goalscoring touch next season.

Not out of the question. He was good in terms of goals and assists to minutes played last season so he could do well if he stays fit.

Biggest issue is Nunez will presumably be first choice through the middle, so where his chance is going to come from.

OP: Assuming you mean in a positive way I would have a small wager on Carvalho.

Nunez when he scores 40+ in all competitions.

Harvey Elliot or Curtis Jones, one of them to cement their place in the side and make the CM position their own.

I think a youngster from the fringes will make a starting berth his own. Think that means Elliott, Jones or carvalho one of them will be starting games regularly. Maybe all 3 of them.

Konate will be the stand-out player next season.

The new young signings will impress in the cup games.

Nuñez is anyone's guess. I suspect he'll have a 20+ season.

I still see City winning it again though – Haaland will hit the ground running.

I rarely agree with Neggie, but I'm with him on this one. Not because Firmino is a favorite, but because I believe he still has something to show and something to prove, in the last year of his contract. He will be motivated to regain his place and show the best of himself so that if a move happens in January or next summer, he'll be in the best possible position to get the maximum, financially. And in the end, it's always the money that talks. We saw it with Mané, who gave us a stellar year before moving on, under very good financial conditions. And we also saw it with Salah who started the year like a rocket, but ended up lukewarm because I'm convinced the afcon and world cup qualifiers took a a heavy mental toll on him (maybe physically too) .

Good post ArAy1969. let's hope we can tie Salah up before January to a new contract. He still has many records to break and leaving would be just stupid leaving him so close to breaking so many records and becoming historical. let's hope he's smarter than that.

I can't wait too see Billy Elliott fit and flying in midfield ?.

No pressure then MK? hehe. i hope he hits the ground running but i think and hope he can score 25 goals in all comp. that would be a very good season.

Bobbys not scored double figure league goals since 2018/ 19 season and he was first choice back then.

I’d love to see it though and if anything he looked at his best coming off the bench with fresh legs against tired defences last season so who’s to say he can’t notch plenty of goals doing that next season. The more goals our forwards score obviously the better it is for us.

I think Ox will surprise us in that he will still be at the club and then he’ll play and play well!

Diaz no doubt. Think he will surprise the entire footballing world next season.

OP, Im with you. Bobby may surprise some people on here provided he can stay fit cos those injuries did not help him as he seemed to always be off the pace for the most part. Still contributed a lot more than people thought he would. We shall see.

It will not matter one bit Man City players will throw themselves to the ground including Halland and cheat their way to another title. Refs will of course lap it up and make sure they help City achieve this. Because European refs are not as tragic as ours in England is why they have not won the Champions league. I will still enjoy our season though and be happy to finish runner up but also top of the teams that do not cheat throughout every single game they play.

Bobby F to have a rennaisance and new contract, possibly see the 4231 formation a bit more, especially at home and he could be a key part of that. and despite a lack of goals at home, his record away is good.

Elliott hopefully to catch up on th3 lost year.

Salah. When he scores 50 goals.
Full summer rest, pre season and no World Cup.
He’ll win us the premier league this season our Mo.
