2578166, Would a Conte-style 3-4-3/3-5-2 work?

Thinking Wood with Klejstan and Pulisic as dual 10s, then you can still have MB alongside a destroyer in the middle, and you don't have to choose between Omar, Cameron and Brooks. Whether, say, Yedlin is disciplined enough to play as a wing back, or we can find someone to do the job on the left is its own question (does Lando fill that role a la Beasley?), and the 3-4-3 won't work without good wingbacks, it otherwise solves some of our selection dilemmas down the spine of the team.

Alternately, you can have Bradley play deep in the hole like Pirlo did in Conte's Italy side. But then you have the question of who pairs Wood, and does Pulisic suffer from playing more as an advanced central midfielder than an out-and-out playmaker.
