Center Mid #1: Fernandinho

City have four to five guys who could get into this midfield duo. Meanwhile Palace also provide James McArthur and Yohan Cabaye, so depth would never be an issue for a combined XI. But Fernandinho is having a stellar year, and could easily be the Brazilian captain at World Cup 2018. He would provide the steel in the middle needed for this attacking side.
