Best midfield 3 (in a 5-3-2 / 3-5-2) and why?

Post by Victor_OTT_17 »

Ampadu, Stach and Tanaka for me. CDM Ampadu (no words needed), Stach (always has a goal in him and quality in all areas) and Tanaka (great all-rounder, best AMF and goals in him). Does it for me...

Stach and Tanaka give us a level of potential creativity that other options don't.

Amps is a given.

Tanaka will be sold for a lot of money in the summer, we won't be able to hold on to him.

Tanaka is becoming a must for me, Stach too good not to be considered, although he can go awol at times. Amps name carved in stone.

Gruev is Ampadu's back up
Longstaff is Stach's back up
Aaronson is Tanaka's back up

Start Ampadu, Stach and Tanaka and replace with the correct back up if possible when needed.

Gnonto alongside DCL up front

I prefer 4411 though personally
