Bundesliga 2019/20: 5 possible attacking combinations for Borussia Dortmund

#3 - Adopting a False 9 with Mario Gotze leading the line in a 4-3-3

E Dortmund's XI with Gotze as a false No.9

Since the turn of the year, Mario Gotze has reinvented himself and made useful contributions as Dortmund's title challenge began to gather pace since his re-introduction to the side.

In the absence of Alcacer, Gotze was deployed as a false No.9 and the 27-year-old impressed despite his unfamiliarity with the position.

Gotze's technical ability coupled with his versatility prompted Favre's tactical tweak and the German flourished in his new role.

Starting as the furthest player up the pitch, Gotze often dropped deep which allowed Dortmund to build from the back and in doing so, he played some of the best football of his career since his days at Bayern.

Favre's positional tweak has not only reinvented a forgotten man in Gotze, but it has also opened up another presentable option for his side as Dortmund looked fairly solid with the World Cup winner leading the line.
