12 goals and 9 assists for his first season (so far).

Absolutely amazing. But not just numbers, I love how he always goes balls deep. Doesn't matter if it's Genoa or Barcelona, you can always count on him giving 110% and I love it.
Honestly think that with two top CMs and a top LB to replace Sandro, a front 3 of Ronaldo-Morata-Chiesa would be beastly. Ronaldo would probably bang in his 40 goals with that support. Morata has his 17 goals-12 assists which is great production. Chiesa has 12 goals-9 assists and that will probably improve for next year. Use that front 3 next year so we don’t have to spend money on a starting striker, and fix midfield and left back. Then let Morata and Ronaldo go and go all-in for Haaland or someone similar level in summer 2022 to pair with Chiesa.

Yeah, I like that trio. However, for some reason I think we won't use that trio much next season because we'll give fair share of minutes to Kulusevski. To me it seems like we'll use 4-4-2 next season.

I'm also kinda worried about bench for the forward trio.

Yeah. If we use 4-4-2 we have no bench. I think that formation suits Dybala best, because it allows him to be a support striker a la Del Piero and play in the box alongside a proper forward to make space for him, but we don’t have anywhere near the depth required of forwards or wingers/wide mids to play it. We’d have to invest in back ups for Chiesa and Kulu, as well as for Ronaldo and Dybala/Morata (assuming we keep only one). As well as dealing with midfield and leftback.

Kulu could instead be first rotation for both wide positions of 4-3-3, which would allow us to give Ronaldo proper rest next year. And when Morata is in shit form we could also play Kulu-Ronaldo-Chiesa up front. It would also mean we’d probably only need 1-2 backup signings at forward positions.
