I've read Pep Confidential twice, cover to cover, and there is absolutely nothing in it to suggest he'd ever consider a line up like that.
I'd suggest you probably read it again then.
He consistently uses a pivote, but at times dabbles with the idea of two of them. Then he wants his two ball players ahead of him. Kroos/Thiago. KdB/Silva. He has Alaba and Rafinha almost in midfield. See my point regarding full backs from my earlier post. Uses German Red Pig when fit. Plays Boateng, Dante and Martinez at the back.
It's up front where things go different from Pep Confidential, he used a False 9 previously and tried to use Ribery there but he didn't have two strikers like Aguero and Aubameyang. So it's a guess (as I said in my OP) of how he fits two of them in but still sticks to his usual preferences further back.
