Just a thought

-----------------------------SZCZESNY-----------------------------

---------------BENATIA----BONUCCI----CHIELLINI---------------

CUADRADO----BERNARDESCHI----PJANIC-----CAN------COSTA

----------------------DYBALA-------RONALDO--------------------

Costa and Cuadrado would make excellent wing backs with Berna as the Mazzala

Would you want to switch Can with Bernie to adjust to their dominant feet?

If you expect them to cross, sure. But they are more likely to score from outside the box on those sides. But I think you could do either

Potential issues this season:

1) Weakness defensively at RB.

2) Figuring out the right formation (again). Once we do, the best may leave us short of players in one area while having excess in another.

3) Getting the best out of Ronaldo and Dybala and finding the right attacking lineup/placement.

If I had to bet on the best formation to win big CL games, it would be a 4-5-1/4-3-3 without Dybala for maximum defensive output + Ronaldo to score goals.

Cuadrado-Ronaldo-Costa

or

Costa-Mandzukic-Ronaldo

mandatory to have 3 CMs behind them. We looked impenetrable with 4-3-3 last year. Maybe spice it up with Berna as one of the CMs but only after he proves that he can run back and be organized.

Unless 4231 works really well like two seasons ago, I agree, in a 433, Allegri will drop Dybala for Mandzukic in certain knockout games.

He even benched Dybala for MM in Serie A last season.

Man with only 5 midfielders we can literally field any of them. I would start rotating for them to receive equal minutes when the 2 games/week starts to kick in. Basically we have bentancur/can/pjanic and khedira/can/matuidi for two spots. We will use 3 man midfield in the future that's for sure

 

[TheLaz]

I really like our squad numbers. It seems we have just the perfect amount of players registered with space for some youngsters even.
Over the past years we've had excessive squads with certain players fielded very seldom. The midfield is subject to injury concerns but with Berna taking on the mezzala we could still look very good even if Pjanic or someone else gets a break.

 

[Cronios]

I din't expect from Max to show such guts, so glad to see a trident vs such strong opposition!!!

 

[pavluska]

Already looks this is the best possible lineup for this season...assuming Berna will be good enough defensively:

Woj/Perin
Cancelo Bonucci Chiellini AS
Berna Pjanic Matuidi
DC Dybala CR7

Perhaps Can in more tactical/competitive games and when we need to defend in second legs.

We went from Asamoah and Licht as WBs to this level of talent on the flanks. But without Berna, in the middle, would only rely on Pjanic's and Bonucci's switches and long balls.

 

[Catenaccio]

I honestly think the best formation both defensively and attacking is a back 3.

Thinking....

--------------------------------------------SZCZESNY-------------------------------------

-------------------------------BENATIA----BONUCCI----CHIELLINI----------------------

CANCELO/CUADRADO----BERNA/CAN----PJANIC------MATUIDI-----SANDRO/COSTA

-------------------------------DYBALA/MANDZUKIC-------RONALDO--------------------

So in the champions league your bench of 7 would be: Perin, Barzagli, Cuadrado, Can, Bentancur, Costa, Mandzukic

I think the 4-3-3 and 4-2-3-1 could still be used but I honestly think having a front 2 of Dybala and Ronaldo would work really well as a front 2 with our powerful wingbacks and having Bernardeschi as the Mezzala

I just dont like Costa on the bench especially against top opponents. Its just so defensive that we could easily get pinned back against a good press and Ronaldo have no room to operate

 

[JuventusUruguay]

IMO, we should play 4231 with Emre/Matuidi - Pjanic as Midfielders, Douglas - Dybala - Cristiano and Mario as a striker.

Matudi/Emre - Pjanic
Douglas - Dybala - CR7
Mario

 

[Vialli_92]

Dybala and Pjanic can't coexist

One suits a 3 man midfield and one suits a 2 striker formation

Square pegs and one should have been sold in my opinion

 

[Lion]

Anyone notice we short on attacking depth and midfield depth depending on formation?

In a 4 3 3 you need 6 cms and 6 attackers.

We have 5 cms and 6 attackers.

But in a 4 2 4 we have only 6 attackers for 4 positions. Making us short a bit. An injury to mandzukic or Costa is going to damage us over bad.

Should have kept pjaca or loaned matri or something.

Kean > Matri

Kean > Matri

Obviously, even Falcinelli > Matri nowadays

Do you think a 4-3-1-2 would work? With Mandzukic and Ronaldo up front with Dybala at trequartista? I hate having him benched, he can win a game on his own with ease.

Berna behind DybiCR7 would be the only way to go. @Bianconero81

My dream

But we all know there's no possibility of that happening for a while so I didn't mention it.

A traffic cone > Matri

matree is shittiest player we've ever had ever, even worse then the traore's and aquilani's
