First Centerback – John Stones

Stones has been superb recently for Guardiola and should be the first name on the team sheet. With Nicolas Otamendi getting rested several games, Stones has stepped up his play and become a leader in the back-line. He is limiting mistakes from earlier this season, and looking more comfortable with the ball at his feet. I expect him to continue to grow as the season progresses.
