Formation, Tactics and what not., 4-4-2 Diamond with Rui Costa ? Options

[Orange_Hitman]

This thread is to discuss what formation is most adapted to our squad considering all the new signings :

Despite Antoine Kombouare's reluctance to give up his precious 4-4-2 last season, one can not but think he will be forced to change his formation towards a 4-2-3-1 adapted specifically for Pastore.

However with the latter's delayed vacation, and Hoarau's regain of form during this summer transfer window, we will most likely start the season with the following 4-4-2 :

---------------------------Sirigu-------------------------
Jallet-------Bisevac---------------Sakho---------Tiene
--------------------------Matuidi-------------------------
------------------------Chantome-----------------------
Menez-----------------------------------------------Nene
------------Gameiro---------------Hoarau--------------

Some uncertainties remain :
- Will Menez be fit by next weekend ? If not what are the alternatives ?
- Ceara or Jallet ? The latter have the advantage considering the Brazilian has only partaken in 1 test game, because he was recovering from injury during the summer. However, the competition will be fierce for the starting Right Back spot.
- Chantome or Bodmer ? Both players have impressed last year and in the friendly pre-season games, however the former seems more fit and have the adequate skills to cover this position in the 4-4-2, Bodmer being more of a traditional slow play-maker.

Are you crazy ? Bodmer played only half on the season while Chantome was unable to score and to be decisive.

But, i think your team is light for L1. Hoarau showed us his best and real level last year. So i'd put Bodmer in the midfield with Chantome and Matuidi. Moreover, Gameiro likes to be alone and he can do it. That's not Peggy or Erding who need someone with them.
