I see you just woke up and didnt read the forum for a week. Good. I'll brief you.
We are talking about a 4-2-3-1 formation. A formation that has double wing coverage with workhorse wingers. Such formation does not require attacking fullbacks. No the only value of the fullbacks is quite simply the defensive strenght. Better defence makes better player for the position.
For this reason, Ogbonna and even chiellini would be massive there. Ogbonna has the added value that he can move up behind his winger, and is a trustworthy lay-back target, as he has good control and passing for a defender.
People need to start realising that juventus is a team of defensive might, aggression, pressing, but mostly dislocating opponent tactics and forcing them on our own.
That doesnt work with 7 offensive players.
Let me give you a blueprint of an ideal, juventus. Workhorse wingers are impossible to fund, but everyone knows their style

Someone like David Alaba is better defensively at LB than Ogbonna because he can run the whole field and has the agility to match tricky wingers. CBs are built to mark in tight spaces with lots of cover around them, not be exposed in space all the time.
This is not even taking into account how bad he is compared to other LBs with the ball. He can play LB only if you park the bus and have a slow game with lots of cover around him, where the 1 on 1 encounters are very few and don't occur in dangerous wide areas.
You can't just put a CB at fullback and expect improved defense.
And also, in this period of football you need complete players, not one dimensional. Your fullbacks defend and attack, your wingers attack and defend. Your defensive mid plays the ball and runs and tackles, etc.
