Pirlo seems to be an awful lot more of an nuisance then a bonus to the squad so far. Restricting us to certain rigid formations, and ruling out the signing of other creative players because of his lack of defensive abilities

You can't play Pirlo and Giovinco in a team and only put one midfielder who'll defend in there.
I CAN IN FIFAAA 11 !!!!!!!!

Buffon
Lichtsteiner - Bonucci - Chiellini - Ziegler
Krasic - Marchisio - Pirlo - Bastos/Pepe
Quagliarella/Vucinic - Matri/Toni

The thing is, if we get both Bastos and a SS, we probably have to play 4-4-2, in which I don't see Pirlo doing well.

Or perhaps they see Bastos as a LB :sergio:
There was always a likelihood of us playing the 4-4-2/4-2-4. Its Conte's preferred formation.

Buffon
Lichtsteiner - Bonucci - Chiellini - Ziegler
Krasic - Marchisio - Pirlo - Bastos/Pepe
Quagliarella/Vucinic - Matri/Toni
If you want the status quo, there it is, staring you in the face.
There are players in that team capable of playing above the status quo but not enough. With a team like that, there's a lot of uncertainty regarding the performance of individuals bar (Chiellini and Buffon) and at its best it could be relatively successful.

If we take Gio back it would always be more like 4231/4411 than direct 442.

And for Red/Andy: We'll so try Pirlo in one one of those formations, probably along with Marchisio.
