Manchester City's 2025-26 squad assessment divides into two stories: first half and second half. Here are the honest grades. Ederson (8/10): The tactical goalkeeper who never stops being relevant. Distribution elite, shot-stopping reliable. Walker (7/10): Veteran quality, managed carefully. Replaced some of his pace with positioning. Guehi (8/10): An excellent first season. Composure and intelligence that will only improve. Akanji (7/10): Solid, unspectacular, reliable — exactly what a title-challenging squad needs at centre-back. Rodri (9/10 — second half only): When available, transformative. Without him, City looked like a different team. Bernardo Silva (10/10): The season's MVP at City. Undroppable. Tactical genius. Foden (7/10): Hot and cold. Second-half form much better. The ceiling remains exceptional. De Bruyne (8/10 when fit): Still capable of the extraordinary. Fitness the only limiting factor. Savinho (8/10): The surprise package. Direct, effective, and only 20. Haaland (8/10 when fit): The goals rate is always elite. Availability has been the constraint. Squad depth (6/10): The second string was exposed when the first choice players were unavailable in the first half. 📅 Sun 12 Apr, 07:30 UTC | Stamford Bridge 🏆 GW30 | City Graded
