Juventus: Ranking the 3 Best Attacking Trios

Juventus have some insane attacking players now that they've added Ronaldo to their squad. They signed the Portuguese for a staggering £100 million and they have their eyes set on the UCL, after having lost the final twice in four years.

Juve have a lot of forwards this season and some of them are already being linked to a move away from Turin; Mario Mandukic is being linked with Manchester United and Higuain with Chelsea. Although maybe not both, one of them will surely be looking to leave before the transfer window shuts.

Juventus are spending a lot on attacking players, which would make it difficult for Allegri to choose a front three. So I figured why not help him out a little.

Here is a list of the three best attacking trios at Juventus' disposal this season:

#3 Costa - Ronaldo - Dybala

The 4-2-3-1 system used by Allegri last year looked a little lacking; the sole striker was completely lost out and attacks were less in number per game.

A 4-3-3 system or a 4-4-2 should do better. Dybala can play either as a striker or an attacking midfielder. Nevertheless, Allegri could start him as a right-winger given his extraordinary pace with the ball and without it.

On the other hand, Costa is a pure right winger but is equally effective if played on the left. His dribbles and forward runs cause some serious problems for the defenders, and with a player as good as Ronaldo, Costa won't be under as much pressure to score as to create opportunities for Ronaldo.

Ronaldo's positioning and body strength are extremely good. He is arguably one of the best ball strikers and is exceptional during set pieces. In a nutshell, he is a veritable 'headmaster', as it were.

#2 Ronaldo - Higuain - Costa

If Higuain decides to stay, Allegri might think about starting these three at the front. Dybala can play as an attacking midfielder, with Higuain coming off for Cuadrado and Ronaldo moving up the field, playing as a number 9.

Costa and Higuain have scored some pretty impressive goals last season, and their chemistry along with Dybala looks good. Costa's airballs are inch-perfect, and Ronaldo's aerial ability is breath-taking.

It is really scary to see how quick Costa is with the ball. He runs past defenders with ease and creates opportunities much more than an average winger would. He was unlucky that Willian started ahead of him in the World Cup.

Costa has scored 4 and assisted 12 of Juve's goals last season. He has made a total of 31 appearances for the club last year in the league.

Fun Fact: He was signed for just €46 million from Bayern Munich in 2017 keeping in mind the fact that the market was quite inflated because of the Neymar transfer saga.

46 million Euros for a player like Costa is a huge bargain. With two world-class finishers up front, Dybala and Costa are likely going to experience the best form of their life.

That's one scary lineup

#1 Costa - Ronaldo - Cuadrado

A 4-3-3 system of attacking football will be something the fans would love to see, but Allegri believes in defensive football and he has brought in results as well. His side has scored a total of 78 goals in all league games last season and conceded just 20 goals.

In the 2016-17 season, they conceded just 7 goals in all UCL games and scored 22 times. This tells us how good his squad has been when it comes to defending leads, or frustrating the opposition team.

With players like Cuadrado and Costa on the wings and Ronaldo as a central striker, counter attacks by the Juve side can be lethal and can win them games.

The 4-2-3-1 system gives the wingers some defensive duties to do, but if Allegri decides to play a 4-3-3, it can help to get the best out of Douglas Costa and Cuadrado. They are pure wingers and if given a wider field to attack, they can prove to be a serious threat to the opposition.
