MIDFIELD:
Fernando: £13.2m
Another of City’s summer signings but has probably fared the best of the big names brought into the Etihad this summer.
Fernandinho: £35.2m
A lynchpin in the City midfield but who struggled for form at the beginning of this season
Yaya Toure: £26.4m
Seems to be the beating heart of the side and the star they look to when the going gets tough.
Frank Lampard: Loan From New York City
Let go by Chelsea in the summer who will surely be ruing the error of their ways as he wins City points after points.
James Milner £19.36m
Labelled as an unexciting midfielder but would be a welcome addition to any side after making the utility role an art form.
Samir Nasri £24.20m
Struggled to adapt in his first season but a City favourite and star of the side.
David Silva £25.3m
Silva’s role is hard to pin down as he seems to do so much for the side and is vital to City’s lofty ambitions.
ACCUMULATIVE TOTAL COST: £246.54m
