Pep Guardiola has hinted Manchester City will not overhaul their squad this summer.
A busy summer is expected at the Etihad after the Sky Blues won an appeal over their Champions League ban.
But Guardiola says it will be up to his current squad to "freshen" their enthusiasm for next season.
"I think we've done that, we attack differently sometimes," Guardiola said ahead of Tuesday's meeting with Watford.
"This will happen, but it depends on the players we'll have next season, it depends on the quality of each one as to how we adapt the way we attack and defend.
"New players can maybe come or maybe not, it will not change the freshness of the team completely. Everyone has to be fresh - not just one or maybe none or two or three or 10 or 20 [signings] - all of us have to freshen up our minds and bodies and desires to continue to be competitive in all the competitions.
"If you bring in eight or nine players, which is impossible, you change a lot, the mentality or the freshness or the way you want to play. But I think 80 per cent or 85 per cent or 90 per cent of the team will be the same so it depends on the people who are here."
