Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang

Cos there's an impact on a lot of operational stuff at the club, once the Euros kick off.

Like what? Genuinely curious about why the people involved in transfers are affected by a tournament they have no involvement in.
 
Yes, he uses a pivote in 13/14, then changes almost completely to using 2 in 14/15 and 15/16.

When he uses 1 pivot he has the fullbacks come in narrow like you say, to keep dominance in midfield, except he can't do that in your fantasy formation because there are no full backs in it.

If you were actually making a formation based on Pep confidential, it would be something like this:

Sterling Aguero Aubameyang
Silva KDB
Gundogan
LB - CB - CB - RB


Or a 4231 with Fernandinho/Gundogan.

He would never play 3 at the back, with a 2 man midfield and 5 fucking forwards, it's the complete antithesis of everything Guardiola builds his football around.

A lot of people here are going to look like complete twats in September. He's going to play 433 or 4231, the same formations he's used in 90% of his games as a manager.

By the end of the season, or even 17/18, he will start making things more fluid and changing in-game as he sees fit, when the players have completely mastered his basic ideas (You've read pep confidential so you know this takes until January in his first Bayern season) but the idea he's going to play 3-2-5 from August is laughable.

I wouldn't put it past Pep to surprise us but I would be surprised if he used anything other than a back four most of the time. What he does like to do, and I've repeated this umpteen times now, is play a virtual back three with his pivote splitting the CB's and full backs pushed on but three CB's as regular starters is not his M.O.
