In the summer of 2017, Guardiola brought in various superstars. Many of these are now an integral part of the Skyblues. Like Ederson. He came from Benfica and continued to get better and better in England. Clear upgrade compared to Caballero. | © EA Sports / EarlyGame
Ex-Tottenham right-back Walker was also on the wish list in 2017. Sagna has now ended his career, more precisely, in winter 2020. | © EA Sports / EarlyGame
Unlike the newcomers, Kolarov was sorted out in 2017. First, he went to AS Roma and then to Inter Milan. Laporte enriches central defense and has been a key player in City's defensive upgrade. | © EA Sports / EarlyGame
John Stones (83 OVR in FIFA 22) is still in the ManCity squad. The Portuguese Ruben Dias, however, has meanwhile clearly fought for the status of regular CB. | © EA Sports / EarlyGame
Like Sagna, Clichy went to Manchester from Arsenal, too. Both had to say goodbye in the upheaval of 2017. Cancelo came from Juventus Turin in 2019. His offensive qualities are really, really nice for a full-back. | © EA Sports / EarlyGame
Fernandinho is also still in Manchester. But not for long. The 36-year-old Brazilian already announced his departure himself. This is (not solely) due to Rodri, who is simply playing much more often. Although at the age of 36, you could actually do a bit less than teammates... | © EA Sports / EarlyGame
Magician David Silva was absolutely indispensable under Guardiola for a long time. But he wasn't getting any younger either – and, unfortunately, he was often injured. Did someone say injuries? Gündogan listens. It's hard to imagine where the former Dortmund player would have been if he had stayed unharmed more often. Would he be on par with KDB? | © EA Sports / EarlyGame
The Belgian has been in Manchester for a long time. Namely, since 2015. When he moved from Wolfsburg to City, many thought: another overpriced new signing for the club. But we all know he was worth every penny. His development is truly incredible. One of the best CMs in the world. | © EA Sports / EarlyGame
Another transfer from 2017. Back then, newly crowned French champions with Monaco, Silva came to England. He also made a good next step under Guardiola. In contrast to his early days, he has become much more flexible. | © EA Sports / EarlyGame
As a 20-year-old mega talent, Sterling left Liverpool for Manchester in 2015. His "journey" as a talent is complete. He is an outstanding forward, his pace combined with shooting and dribbling makes him a FUT high-flyer year after year. | © EA Sports / EarlyGame
Club hero Agüero wore the City kit from 2011 to 2021 and has shot his way up to become the club's record goalscorer. It's crazy that players like Gabriel Jesus (83 OVR) or Riyad Mahrez (86 OVR) have no place here. It doesn't matter who plays offensively: City is bursting with quality. | © EA Sports / EarlyGame
Pep Guardiola has been Manchester City's manager since the summer of 2016. The squad has changed a lot in that time. So let's take a look at the players from FIFA 17 and FIFA 22 and compare Guardiola's first line-up with his current Ultimate Team.
A few players were already there when he started. But some costly transfer phases brought masses of new superstars. See ManCity under Guardiola throughout the years.
