Needs to figure out how to play Messi and Suarez without using the 4-4-2. 4-3-3 with Messi on the right or 4-3-2-1 with a double pivot are probably the only options.
It's probably going to be a 4-4-2 with Rakitic and Coutinho on the flanks
It's shit. And it's been proven shit.
Not even joking. I can totally see this:
ter Stegen
Roberto - Pique - Umtiti - Alba
Rakitic - Busquets - Arthur - Coutinho
Messi - Suarez
Valverde will probably revert full-time to a 4-4-2 for balance purposes therefore having no place for Dembele or Malcom unless Arthur is benched and Rakitic moved back to the middle with Busquets.
Yes, but Valverde doesn't know how to use a 4-3-3 so he'll probably play the formation and style he knows best.
A 4-2-3-1 would be too attacking for him.
Problem is Messi dropping deep often makes it a 4-5-1 actually, with as little as only Suarez as a target forward. This is why it takes us 85 mins to have a shot on target.
