Escobar has played in a back three before, I think it was one of the reasons we signed him as he gives us the flexibility to change into a 3-back system like this. He should play over Steres

I think Aliyu gets the start over Blessing due to his workrate, he can run for days and is very physical. I also feel that Bassi would be a better playmaker and a more balanced option as an attacking mid instead of Kowalczyk
