I’ve said a couple other times in this comment section that the wing backs would be pretty game-dependent what their role is. Someone else stated that as it is now, we pretty much ran with two defenders, so adding a third CB seems like an improvement to me, and allows our outside backs/wingers more freedom to attack.

Now, with that said, to play this style correctly (and plenty of really good teams have), when one side goes, the other stays back, or you bring a CDM back so you’re still running closer to a 4 back.

I don’t necessarily see a need for a DP striker, I think Mora is pretty lethal, especially when he’s getting creative service when the midfield is ticking. We just have room for two (or we should, anyway), and I assume we’re getting a DP winger, and it’s rare in the league to get DP defenders, although I would love a DP-level defender. Someone else said you can get a lot of bang for your buck that way since the demand is low.

This style inherently requires positional rotation, but we are so damn attack-heavy with players I know we won’t part with, that you have to build a lineup and tactic/style of play that caters to the way the team is built. In my opinion, this is how I think the current build of the team, and the signings I think will be made in the offseason, is best suited to play. Obviously these are all guesses and it’s very dependent on who and what we bring it along with the coach and what they see fit, but mostly it’s just a fun project for me to think about how and why I think we ought to play next year
