TACTICS

Barca’s base formation never changes and the 4-3-3 formation will be spearheaded by the MSN frontline of Messi, Suarez and Neymar. The new signings have brought competition for places. Umtiti could find a place in central defence; Gomes or Suarez could come in for Iniesta or Ivan Rakitic; Digne could replace Jordi Alba.
