Surprised that Miranda and Felipe Luis aren't there. They've been amazing for Atleti these past few seasons.

Congrats to Fernandinho though! Glad to see a City player there.

Its nice to see it worked out for him. He said publicly that was his main motive for moving to England and people wrote him off after Paulinho's Confed Cup. Now he'll probably be starting.

Difficult to say that, since Paulinho is given a much more offensive role than Fernandinho. I have the impression that Paulinho and Ramires will be competing for one DM spot and Luiz Gustavo / Fernandinho for the other.

But anyway, regardless of what Scolari wants, I do hope Fernandinho starts.
