Of course and Manchester city is still the favorite to win next season, Manchester city's strength is very evenly distributed and Pep Guardiola has built this team very well even it will be able to survive and for a long time, a team that already has character will find it difficult to fall and they are likely to big can maintain performance even though many players come or go, this team is no longer dependent on just a few players and as long as Pep Guardiola is still the coach of Manchester city then the brand will always be strong.
Other big clubs will have to play against Pep Guardiola team which have been reaching their highest performance and they will be able to win another Champions League in the next 2 to 3 seasons before this generation comes to their downside.
At Etihad, Pep Guardiola don't lack of money so he will be able to buy new players and get a long plan with them. It is different than with his time in Barcelona and Bayern Munich as in Manchester City, he is given a bigger budget for transfer and don't have to worry that he can not have enough money in the transfer market.

Guardiola will try to find new players who can replace some of the vacant positions left by his former players after choosing to go to another club. It is not difficult for Guardiola to find new players because he really understands the character of players who can be trusted to be an important part of his team.
They might have hiccups at the season beginning, in early months but they will return to their best after 2 or 3 months when Pep Guardiola and his lads can adapt to changes in tactics and players in their squad.
