TEAM PROLIFIK
Liability #1: Sergio Ramos
Ramos moves out to wing-back where he can indulge his attacking instincts with Bergomi covering behind. Young Ramos in particular was excellent going forward, and in this setup he's less susceptible to being exploited in one-on-one matchups.
Liability #2: Ronald Koeman
Koeman's weakness is his lack of pace which can be more exploitable as a libero/centre-back. We've instead moved him into midfield where he can use his vision and distribution run the show from deep. He and Scholes will dictate from deep.
Liability #3: Fernando Hierro
To be honest, I'm not quite sure what exactly makes Hierro a liability, but he should do well in the libero role with Bergomi and Van Dijk either side of him. Between Hierro, Koeman, and Scholes, the range of passing in this team is unmatched.
Maverick: Paul Gascoigne
Gazza is once again the most advanced of a midfield three. Scholes replaces Kante to provide an additional attack threat with his playmaking and eye for goal. Villa will often drift out to the left channel to help compensate for the width we lose in dropping Pires and Conti.
TEAM SKIZZO
Liability - Frank de Boer
De Boer going from a back 3, to a back 4, and now a back 5. Tactically versatile, he’ll have more freedom to get forward now with a solid defensive cover from the defense and midfield, he’ll look to link up down the left with his pace and passing ability.
Liability - Steven Gerrard
Gerrard shuffles into a more central role here, and will look to bomb forward and offer his all-action style as he looks to get into the thick of things. He has a solid midfield base in Tardelli and Goncalves, allowing him more freedom in getting forward and roaming in the inside right channels.
Liability - Trent Alexander-Arnold
Seeing his stock drop rather rapidly, there’s still a lot of things TAA does right. Here we have cover in the form of a solid defense, with pace and tenacity, and the assistance in midfield of Stevie G. TAA would look to bomb forward, link up with the attack, stretch the play and deliver crosses into dangerous areas for the forwards, and cut backs for the onrushing Gerrard
Maverick - Dennis Bergkamp
Bergkamp continues to play off a strike partner here, and would have the freedom to roam around as needed to get on the ball and impact the play. With a strong midfield two behind him, speedy wingbacks to stretch play, and Gerrard who will draw attention in the inside right channel, Bergkamp can look to drift around and pull strings as needed. He can drop deeper between the lines to help start the move, and also get in and around the box to get on the end of the wide players crosses, and link up with the technically sound Elkjaer.
