Do you think he is anywhere near knowing his 1st XI? Surely the formation must come first to allow you to decide who’s the best option. Unless he’s going to use an old favourite of mine – pick your best 10 outfield players and use a formation that fits them. Highly unlikely. Hardly anybody played a full game yet and numerous systems tried, hopeful that 4-4-2 or 4-3-3 will be his chosen one.
