FIFA 22: 5 players that Manchester City managers should sell at the beginning of Career Mode
5) Oleksandr Zinchenko (LB)
Value: $26,000,000
OVR: 80
Manchester City are weakest in the left-back role with Joao Cancelo (86) playing in his secondary position to suit the club's needs. Zinchenko can be sold to acquire a higher-rated left-back, preferably Andrew Robertson (87) or Theo Hernandez (84).
4) Fernandinho (CDM)
Value: $8,500,000
OVR: 83
Fernandinho is the club's oldest member of their current roster, having played for them since 2013. The 36-year-old's contract expires in a year. With his retirement nearing, Career Mode enthusiasts should look to sell him in their first season.
3) Kyle Walker (RB)
Value: $46,000,000
OVR: 85
Kyle Walker is a quick and experienced fullback who is effective in his position. However, Career Mode players already have a world-class RB in Joao Cancelo and can opt to replace Walker with a young replacement instead of sidelining him.
2) Ilkay Gundogan (CM)
Value: $61,000,000
OVR: 85
Gundogan was very influential the previous season, being the club's top scorer despite playing in the middle of the park. In FIFA 22, Gundogan lacks potential and can be replaced as the club already has sufficient quality in his position.
1) Riyad Mahrez (RW)
Value: $77,500,000
OVR: 86
Mahrez has participated in 3 succesful campaigns with the club since his arrival. Despite his quality, players will have a difficult time managing Mahrez's playtime due to the club's abundance of expensive players in various positions. A striker replacement is ideal, considering Sterling (88) can occupy the starting RW role.
