It’s hard to say though because he’s much more of a technical player with superb passes and ridiculous vision. I don’t think he’ll be close to the same peak as last year, but simply feeding Haaland or Alverez a couple good balls could send Man City flying.
If Man City can stay afloat until KDB comes back, it’s GG as their only slight weakness right now is attacking creativity. Also, unlike the majority of other top 10 teams, Man City has pretty good depth, besides CDM. Spurs, Arsenal, Liverpool to some extent, Villa, and Brighton are all one or two knocks away from slipping.
I think having Rice and Havertz both boost your depth by a great amount. I also think your defensive depth is slightly better than Spurs defensive depth as Tomiyasu is good quality, just stretched thin in the amount of spots he has to cover for. For us, we have decent fullback depth, but essentially zero CB depth.
I think for any team to be title contenders to Man City though, a fair bit of luck will be 100% required in terms of injuries, though Man City do have some visible weaknesses in their midfield depth a bit.
