Tbf what we gonna do with an LB? And also he offers the same as Sergio Gomez. Seems more like a CFG signing
 
I suspect kovacic will play deeper in the double pivot, not the top of the box.

I can see Paqueta doing that too.

No more midfield Stones.
I disagree. Pep seems to have evolved from the box 4 that he used last season with Stones joining the midfield 3, into a box of 5, with any two of our defenders moving forwards and Ederson becoming the 3rd defender.

It might mean less midfield Stones as it could be the normal midfield 3 with the two fullbacks pushing higher to create a wider box of 5, or one fullback pushing up and Stones moving into the position he made his own last season.
 
My plan is still 5/5. Same 4141 formation.

Rodri CB pushing up next to Kova is a real option if Stones is injured or even Stones can play wide CB.

I don’t see Kova playing higher anymore, his best asset is control in the build up.

Paqueta will be a mix, he seems capable playing anywhere in midfield.
Have I got this right? You're suggesting a team that has Laporte, Gvardiol, Ake, Stones, Dias and Akanji, will instead play the world's best defensive midfielder at CB?

Think he meant Rodri + CB (Stones) in midfield.

Maybe he forgot the +, but if he didn't, I'm about as perplexed by his statement as you are.

Kova - Rodri
Gvardiol - Dias- Stones

with Rodri playing the hybrid. Kova being the transition player.
