Sampaoli

The 4-3-3 formation is another way for Jorge Sampaoli to get the best out of his team in the World Cup this year. Trusted by many attacking teams, it can help the Albiceleste to achieve their target in the tournament in Russia.

Jorge Sampaoli should maintain the defensive line mentioned in the previous slide as that remains his strongest option at the moment.

With plenty of options in the squad, fielding 3 men in the middle of the pitch shouldn't be a headache for the tactician. Sevilla midfielder, Ever Banega and PSG's Giovani Lo Celso could line up alongside Javier Mascherano in the middle.

Elite playmaker, Lionel Messi should lead the offensive line, starting on the right flank with the freedom to roam about just like he does at Barcelona. Angel Di Maria should feature on the left while Juventus sharpshooter, Gonzalo Higuain should function as the number 9.
