Second Striker – Fernando Llorente

Even at 31, Llorente is producing more this season than he did in Spain a year ago. His eight goals lead Swansea for the season, and will be counted on as the season rolls on. He is a tall forward that adds a threat in the air. I like his physicality as well, while he pesters opposing defenders. After a slow start in Wales, Llorente has picked it up for the team and I see his stock growing even more as the Swans try to fight off relegation.

Overall, both teams produced players for this combined line-up while many positions were tough to choose. Swansea has a good manager with Clement on-board and I see them remaining safe this season. Manchester City will look to knock off the Swans on Sunday, but look for the visitors to provide a strong test.
