Current best formation?

[ElGato]

4-3-3 which is fluid enough to become a flat 4-4-2 or 4-4-2 diamond with Richarlison adopting a second striker role. Basically what Ancelotti played.

Pickers
Patters -- Mina -- Ben God -- Meeks
Doucoure -- Allan -- New signing
Richy -- DCL -- Gray
​

Bench:
GK
Coleman/ Holdgate
Branthwaite
JPG
Gomes
Someone else
Townsend
Gordon
Decent young striker

On the face of it, generally not a bad looking squad

It really depends. If Keane is selected, then I want Holgate, Coleman, Kenny, Branthwaite, Mina, Mykolenko and Patterson deployed in a 10 yard radius around Keane. That group has to move around the field as if they were protecting the president of the usa. At no point and in no way should keane be exposed or be let near the ball. With Richy and Gray as the sole attacking force.

If by chance Iwobi is selected, then keane has to be deselected because that group above has to do the same but then withIwobi. At no point and in no way should Iwobi let near the ball. This is also how they should train. They should ask the CIA for their MK ultra program on advises how to get the whole concept of a ball, out of Keanes and Iwobis head.

4-2-3-1 . Richy left / Gray right . Doucoure or Townsend in the 10. Allan and one other holding.

I wouldnt have Doucoure as a Number 10, he is too good as a Box to Box player, we dont have anyone who can do that when he is out the side.

I'd be tempted to play Allan and Gomes holding and Doucs pushing on. Gomes can keep the ball. That's if he isn't trying Gbamin

Everyone's saying we have to go 4-3-3 but all our in form players are forwards.

Whoever the next manager is will have to be a tactical genius to get Gray, Richarlison, Gordon and DCL (arguably even Townsend) in the same team while also strengthening up the midfield.

 

[SerenityNigh]

So my question is, which formation would fit best with the players at our disposal?

Which one tucks the tail between the legs?

 

[atypicalusername]

When is Davies back? Put him as a 6.

This is the issue. Gordon should start for Andros and bring him off late in the game
