Moise Kean (RW) – Dejan Kulusevski has the potential to make this spot his own, but we can see Allegri trusting Moise Kean in this position. With Cuadrado roaming on the overlap, Kean can tuck infield to serve almost as a pseudo-striker from this role, rotating with Dybala plenty. Danilo’s presence at right-back, however, would force the young Italian to hug the touchline more frequently. His ability to do both is crucial. Allegri’s certainly an admirer of the enigmatic Italian, and we think he’ll try to squeeze him into his favoured XI some way.

Paulo Dybala (CF) – All the signs are pointing towards the current iteration of the Bianconeri being built around this man. So far, we’ve seen Dybala utilised as a second striker where he has the utmost freedom to receive possession wherever he pleases. However, in a 4-3-3, La Joya could be a mightily effective false nine with a pair of athletic outlets flanking him. This is a front line dynamic we’d love to see.

Federico Chiesa (LW) – This man continues to mesmerise. He’s just incredible. The relentlessness at which he attacks space, combined with his dogged determination and stellar technical attributes mean superstardom is inevitable. The Italian can do it all, with a dangerous ambidexterity creeping into his game also. Some might argue he’s the man Juventus should be built around, but for now, he seems to be regarded as Dybala’s mightily talented side-kick. That status should change by the end of the season.
