I'd have thought that Walker gets us out of trouble so often, with his pace, that he needs to be in there. Yes, you could ask why we get into so much trouble in the first place, but that's another matter.
So perhaps the safest backline is probably:
Walker - Ruben - Laporte - Aké
Still leaves us with cover problems as soon as we get any injuries, but Cancelo can play LB or RB, and Aké could move back into the centre as needed.
Whether we'll ever really come to trust Mendy or Stones again, I don't know ?
Not quite as inspiring as Zaba / Vinnie / Otamendi in his pomp ... but sadly players like that don't come along every day !
