        He could play behind Bobby . I can't see Mane or Salah being effected by Shaq starting number 10

        Saw a possible formation that showed Bobby in 10 and studge in front with mane and Salah wide. This could be it but with Shaq

      Definitely not C.

      Tougher that it's for a -4, for the most part the defender has to keep a clean sheet to gain 2 points.

      Essentially break even if you just play Stephens.
