Arteta In by November
Country: USA
Player:Ødegaard
Arteta will play Partey - rice - Ødegaard only vs city or tough away games
I picked Vieira because I feel he has a unique quality that the other two do not possess. He has the best final ball and vision, and those for me are qualities you can't coach. Sure, Vieira is tiny and right now might be the best suited for a super-sub role, but I think he is most like a “midfielder-like” player at left 8. ESR and Havertz are forwards. I don't think either of them are confident in the build-up or second phase like Vieira is.
I should have added Ødegaard as an option tbh. There's a discussion to be had about him on the left.The elephant in the room here is that most would be better from RCM. I don't think Ødegaard would suffer playing LCM, but the only thing is the dynamics with Saka/White.
But regardless ESR is by far my preferred choice, Vieira has shown a bit but when it mattered he was hooked vs Sp**s. I don't even consider Havertz.
Yes, for someone so small and diminutive he doesn't wriggle out of challenges like I expected. Normally, small guys are the most agile and elusive but Vieira isn't like that at all. His playing style is more akin to KdB, Maddison or Szoboszlai but his physique is not on their level - even Madders can ride a challenge.If Fabio was just a little bit better at wiggling out of challenges or rolling them and thought ahead a shade faster he'd be the clear candidate in my opinion.
