Formation Next Season?

[Lighthouse]

With a transfer window coming up and a fair bit of gardening needed in our current squad anyway, what direction should we go with our formation. There's the obvious solution, copy the winners and go with 3-4-3. I personally quite like it and feel it would solve a few of our problems, most notably having 2 out and out strikers, which has to be better than our current plan. If Austin and Gabbi can put enough pressure on opposing defences it might force them to go back to the keeper and play it long, which is to our advantage with 3 CBs on the pitch.

 

- - - - - - - - - - Forster

 

- - - Yoshida - - Virgil - - Stephens

 

Cedric - - Romeu - - Hojbjerg - - Bertrand

 

- - - - - - - - - Tadic

 

- - - - - - Austin - - - Gabbi

 

 

Obviously that depends on who stays and goes.

Would rather replace Forster and Tadic purely as latter and boufal shouldn't play together but you get the jist

Not enough pace in that side for me (OP's side).

I wouldn't play Hoj there gives the ball away far to much plus he goes down easily for a big guy and doesn't seem that hot in the air so we need a better option next to Romeu. I'd rather play someone with more goal threat than Tadic in behind the front two and replace Austin with someone with proper pace (not jrod) that can actual hit a barn door(not Long). Plus I think we will lose Cedric, Betrand and VVD. Also if I'm honest I'd like to replace Forster.

 

erm so yeah Romeu looks good in that formation.
