What do you think should be the formation that we should play this season? I think with the players we've signed there are only two logical solutions which we've already talked about.

4-2-3-1

This is my preferred choice, as I regard it a very modern and dynamic formation that integrates all the players and requires a lot of effort from them to achieve the proper balance. Given our roster, for the time being it would be:

Donnarumma
Conti - Bonucci - Musacchio - Rodriguez
Kessie - Biglia
Suso - Calhanoglu - Bona
Silva


Note that if we play like this one between Musacchio and Romagnoli will have to sit on the bench. Furthermore, when we sign another striker, Silva would eventually sit as well. The only problem is that we don't have any substitution wingers, but apparently Montella has asked for one so that might be solved soon.

3-4-2-1

Or 3-4-1-2 depending on the players. This formation became a thing once we signed Bonucci. It is also suitable because it gives players like Conti and Rodriguez less defensive duties and we won't have to renounce to our three CBs.

Donnarumma
Musacchio - Bonucci - Romagnoli
Conti - Kessie - Biglia - Rodriguez
Calhanoglu - Bonaventura
Silva


However, if Montella does go with a 3-man defense, then TWO between Suso, Bonaventura, Calhanoglu, André Silva and the new striker will have to sit on the bench. Personally, I'm not a big of it. I find it very outdated and defensive-minded, a formation that small clubs usually adopt to defend with more men and counterattack.

Thoughts?

Yeah, Borini has been alright as RWB, but the point is that he's not a WB. Just like Rodriguez is simply not good enough when played in that position. He's a leftback with strong defensive traits and a great left foot.
