#5 Griezmann leading the line in an alternative 4-3-3
Another system that would see Luis Suarez dropped to the bench is a third variation of the 4-3-3, only that this time, Griezmann would be leading the line.

For many reasons, this represents the best system that Valverde could deploy next season, with the only feasible drawback being the exclusion of Luis Suarez. (as explained in the last slide)
Ernesto Valverde is a highly pragmatic coach, and this formation would help Barcelona maintain defensive solidity, as Griezmann's would continuously press opposition defenders and drop back to act as the first line of defense; neither of which Suarez offers as well while leading the lines.
Messi would operate in the role he has played for the last five seasons - out wide on the right - while Dembele would occupy the left berth of attack, bringing frenetic pace to the table. (which is a key strength that cannot be attributed to Suarez or Griezmann)
