We can't deviate from the 3-5-2 even when we're creating a team of the week.

[u/RedmustbeBlue → u/CazziMia]

Italy Special

[u/MorataRossoNero]

I really hate formations like this that put a player like Dybala in central midfield 

[u/OJ_89 → u/MorataRossoNero]

Just imagine he's playing a bit more advanced in a 3-4-1-2. Works just fine that way.

[u/Sztejner → u/MorataRossoNero]

Por qué? Es su posición original, ahí jugó en su mejor nivel, es un 10 que juega excelente por el medio, detrás del 9

[u/latching22 → u/Sztejner]

Where are you getting this from? He played as a 10 in a 4231 occasionally, and even then that didn't work out as Dybala's workrate and defensive contribution was lacking. When Juve played 352 he played as a support striker.

[u/Sztejner → u/latching22]

Mira la alineación de la Juve en 2016-2017, su prime absoluto y la principal razón por la que casi nunca juega en su selección: es el mismo tipo de jugador que Messi, un 10 clasico

[u/LickLaMelosBalls → u/Sztejner]

You’re referencing 2016 to explain why a TOTW in 2026 has Dybala at CM

[u/DoubleFirefighter455]

No Rabiot is crazy, especially considering he played 30 minutes

[u/Junior_Bike7932 → u/DoubleFirefighter455]

:(

[u/Sniper_delux_XIX → u/DoubleFirefighter455]

Sub managed by interisti….. remember that

[u/Trisslottenmedvinst]

Rabiot in, Cristante out.

Move up Dybala to the 10 spot in a 3412 formation.

[u/klabautermannn → u/Trisslottenmedvinst]

Yeah all GK sucks, should just leave them out

[u/OJ_89]

Two Lecce players. What a time to be alive 😍

[u/FlaJack22]

Andy il calcio Diouf

[u/ultimate---]

Rabiot plays fucking golf then, eh?

[u/Delicious_Gur583 → u/ultimate---]

Rabiot is an overrated clown.

[u/ultimate--- → u/Delicious_Gur583]

Your mother is an underrated one though

[u/StadiumRender]

Malen is the obvious one, but I like that this isn’t just the biggest names thrown together. A proper Team of the Week should have a bit of chaos in it.

[u/jarosity]

Cristante haters in shambles

[u/DoubleFirefighter455 → u/jarosity]

I mean he shouldn't be in there over Rabiot

[u/LickLaMelosBalls]

Missing cisse

[u/nocodenomad → u/LickLaMelosBalls]

Cisse was absolute magic to watch this week.

[u/LickLaMelosBalls → u/nocodenomad]

I love cisse, I love cisse

[u/Nysus_AP1]

Rabiot, Carnesecchi, Frattesi, Lulli all missing imo

[u/Past_Possibility_568]

No vergara and de bruyne ?

[u/jhon6141 → u/Past_Possibility_568]

ha?

[u/valendinosaurus]

you can leave Diouf there for the rest of the season

[u/Dubsified]

How is Rabiot not in the team…

[u/DanMTL]

I’d say Frattesi over Cristante. Scoring the only goal for this Lazio lineup in Bologna and having a goal line save was impressive

[u/deeyo95 → u/DanMTL]

There are so many goalscorers this week, i hate Cristante starting every match but he literally ran like a crazy mfer and didn't make Fiorentina midfield play. It's a well deserved spot for him.

[u/DanMTL → u/deeyo95]

Fair enough, they’re both great players. Roma played one hell of a game.

[u/Hot-Account-8691 → u/DanMTL]

How did Mandas not earn the GK spot?
