      I don’t think that both fullbacks advancing to provide width would impact Bellingham’s position too much in the current system, as he’d still be the 1 in the hole doing his box crashing/falsish nine thing.

      The bigger impact, if they do Liverpool’s old 2-3-5 attacking shape, might be on the central-right midfielder. If we assume that’s Valverde, he’s absolutely got the energy to cover the space, but it would prevent him from being a driving force going forwards.

      With Davies providing width and the overlapping option, Vinicius can cut in more freely and add more threat to shoot more and receive cutbacks. Will be a good signing.

      Rodrygo is also a preferred LW . If he goes to any other team he starts at LW . he is similar to vini , mbappe also prefers LW . So Is madrid gonna playe with 3 LW in front? I think they probably will have to sell one to make space or one of them will have their time decrease significantly.

      usually I love these but he's soo off on a few points –

      – Jude is in the False 9/ 10 position –

      – Rodryo ….is a winger, wtf is he talking about? and once Mbappe comes in, he's going to bench – that's just a fact

      – If we get Davies, which I'm not a fan of…. Camavinga and Fedde will cover the channels

    25. @redbullsalz on

      You could have Tchouameni joining the CBs making it a 3-2-5 or you could have Valverde and Camavinga filling in for the fullbacks on eother side

    30. @justinrafael8531 on

      There are a lot of formations for a team in a match: A defensive formation, an attacking formation. When is the attacking one, Rodrygo just joins the attack. Simple. Or, you replace Rodrygo with a midfender star because they have more than 5 midfenders

    31. @PrysterZ on

      But they already play like his with Mendy & Carvajal, getting Davies would be massive boost to the attacking on the left because Mendy doesn’t really offer too much of that.

    32. @jyoshnapanda7777 on

      I think we should leave this to ancelotti he will figure it out. And why we need to play all the players. We can play some and give rest and then the others just like man city does. This will be helpful in new ucl format

      as a madrid fan i am stressed

      we have too many good plauers who would easily start for a mid tier club like barcelona i mean after mbappe and daves arrival well have kroos brahim arda rodrygo mendy and so much more
