I would play 1. without a doubt.
With proper instructions to Fede and DM I believe Vazquez will be an asset going forward.
Most games I’m find having Lucas play.
For top level opponents I may ask Valverde to play RB and have Camavinga & Aurelian play midfield.
They can use Fran García as a Right Back , i guess Valverde dos play as a Right Back at least one match , even the great angel di María played as a fullback when needed even if it’s for a few minutes
I don’t know if Vinicius Tobias is still there Ancelotti hates that kid Pérez wanted him to be the next big Brazilian right back Carlo never gave him enough time.
Vázquez is good tho but i don’t think he can play every game without getting injured and the fact that he’s not even a real fullback is funny poor thing was a right midfielder/winger
I would let vazquez play forward, he is a good attacker, and would turn valverde to a wb, or someone who inverts into midfield while attacking
Why is Fran Garcia not in any of these options? Genuinely curious
Militao hasn’t done well as rb whenever he played for us there. Fullback is probably the most physically demanding role out there & for someone who returned from ACL only a few months ago, its very risky. We got zero depth at CB & we are fucked if he gets injured as well.
Fede is way too important in midfield to play him out of position. Days are gone when he could do it with Kroos & Modric being definite starters.
Lucas right now is the most sensible option. He can be erratic with defence & not really elite there, but he’s probably the best option there right now.
Fortea depends a lot on the club pushing Carlo to give him a chance. Carlo ain’t much interested in academy players & right now he would rather play Rodrygo there over an academy kid.
Situations like this can result in the emergence of exciting youngsters though. Would be crazy if Fortea comes in & performs.
There’s also another option Jacob Ramon. Already had few mins with first team & it was as RB I think. Won’t be surprised he’s tried there few times.
Easy, take Sergio Ramos for 1 year, play militao RB. done
lowkey I think Mendy would be a better right back than left back
1, Vazquez is the best equipped to slot in the defence.
If Vasquez has a good match, it’s like having Cafu, but I would also give that youngster a chance
Fran is like TAA light, I feel like his speed makes up for lacking world class defensive qualities. As long as it’s not a 1v1 I can put my trust on Courtois/Lunin.
I will say Vinicius doesn’t combine at all with Fran but maybe this way our RW won’t be so empty.
To have Vede at RB is a waste.
It’s 1 for sure.
I also like Tcho as CDM
We need Velverde in the midfield, it’s a mess without him. I’d rather do LV, Cama and Mendy rotation on the left.
3 defenders with valverde and tchouameni providing support could work as well. A 3-2-4-1 I say
Lucas will have to play and that can slightly boost the attack with Valverde as RM. Tchouameni a big NO… he has been weak defensively. We were just saved by an offside last game. Militao needs some proper instructions wrt his physique. He might not be 100% fit to run the pitch up and down. Rudiger is becoming our header guy recently, so Militao and Mendy can fall back more as compared to Lucas and Rudiger.
Vazquez starting of course. traditional rb that lets everyone else play their traditional positions. He will be shaky against big teams but just as nacho stepped up huge last year have to trust lucas to do so as well
Militão, he played for the Brazilian national team and spent years in this role at São Paulo.
1 makrs the most sense but has valverde had experience playing in the back tho?

Unfortunately we can’t afford for Fede to be playing there with all the responsibilities he has picked up in the midfield this season, so #3 is the biggest no-go for me
