Adelaide United FC Soccer Formation

Lineup (4-1-3-2)

With the loss of Flores, the creative midfielder role has disappeared from the squad altogether. So that needs to be addressed by the coaching staff.

One would assume Caravella would be used as a roaming attacking midfielder, cutting in and switching with Barbiero.

Djite is well placed as a deep lying second striker, with main target-man van Dijk up front..

Slory and Cassio can roam the left flank, with Usucar providing support as the only clear cut defensive mid.

Dilevski and Barbiero can also alternate in their positions, with both having shown they are versatile enough to do so.

In attack, both full backs have the option to roam upfield, whilst having support further up and inside.

In defense, midfield compacts and back four maintains the line.
