Seems that Aleggri thinks that this is our strongest possible lineup going by players picked but i have to disagree.
Id have Costa at LW over Mandzu. Dybala should always start. Marchisio is better than Khedira. Cuads is hit and miss but will eventually be replaced by a better player.
Our regular formation is 4-4-2 with both Higuain and Dybala ahead of our midfield 4. That means most of the time they are not behind the ball defending. Even if they were, they offer nothing.
But it's hard to balance the team like this. So you see Allegri more and more recently going to a formation with only 1 striker. So now we have a midfield 5. And we always have those 5 and the back line of 4 behind the ball. That's where you get 9. It's a big difference for us this year between the two systems. We look impenetrable with 9 behind the ball.

Agreeded and I think our summer mercato showed that a change to a winger based formation was always in the works with this 1 striker formation. I see us rotating dybala and higuain or forcing dybala out wide.
