for now, since we don't have de jong or pedri, I think 3-4-3 formation would work because inigo martinez will work there as part of the 3cb. This could be a high pressing formation. 

like

Felix, Lewandowski, Raphinha, 
Balde, Gavi, Romeu, Cancelo(as a right wingback),

Defence,

I think this is where we can unlock martinez because he would excel in a 3 cb pairing

him featuring as the

 LCB,         CB,         RCB
Martinez, Araujo,  Kounde 

or

Christensen, Kounde, Araujo. 

this formation is good because inigo was always bumping into balde when defending which is not good, I think this will work for a low block defence the now that our two key players Are out (de jong, pedri).

what's your opinion on this. for some games he should still change to 4-3-3

Martinez can't start for now. chris, kounde and Aruajo

Oil dey Ur head. In times of injury I like to modify the formation. As for the left and right wing backs we can use Alonso and Roberto, while Cancelo and Balde rest.

Slammer

not like Martinez was bumping into Balde, Xavi to him to cover for Balde, Christensen does it alot, because Balde is weak on 1 v 1

Last season Balde shined because of Gavi on the LW fall back to cover him always, De Jong   ( our LCM always fall back, like double pivot) covered him,  Christensen covered him because Kounde falls in like a CB from the right.

If we use 5 defenders at a time we will end up reducing our ability to possess the game, Romeu can't pass, Gavi on double pivot( his main position) is good in distribution but not like De Jong who makes  over 110 passes per 90 minutes, or Gundogan who makes 80+ passes per 90 minutes

Balde has to improve his transition from defence to attack and attack to defence, So far Alonso transition gas been better than his, he has to be benched some times and brought in as a substitute 
And the bad thing is opponent don't attack us from our right defence, they attack our left defence, because Araujo, Kounde  abd Christensen are all right footers so the find it easy to defend on the right than on the left

Then Inigo Martinez as the LB, playing 2 full backs exposes us alot, Cancelo and Martinez  haven't gotten the blend with others defensively. There defensively adaptation us slow compared to how Kounde and Christensen adapted 

And he needs to rest for our toughest group stage opponents

you people are very funny, you don't read and understand the post before making a comment, it is written clearly that it is an opinion shared by Diario sport's reporter Toni Juanmarti, and you can't wait for an opportunity to insult and criticize xavi, 
very sad on how some people think.
