DM: Morgan Schneiderlin
With a little more support in the centre, Morgan Schneiderlin can adopt a deeper-lying defensive midfield role and can truly stamp his authority on games from this area.
MC: Bastian Schweinsteiger
Slightly over the hill physically, Bastian Schweinsteiger could benefit from a slightly different formation with more bodies in midfield, allowing him the freedom to dictate the play.
MC: Juan Mata
In a deeper role than usual, Juan Mata can also benefit from the freedom of having more midfield bodies around him in this 3-5-2 formation.
