Top 4 probable attacking tridents for FC Barcelona

#1 Dembele - Suarez - Messi

Barca's trio against Chelsea last year

This attacking line-up is the most likely, and can get the best out of Dembele and Suarez. Dembele will have a whole wing to himself, and Suarez will get back to his original style of football - an out and out striker.

Messi and Dembele together sent home a tough Chelsea side in the knockout stages of the Champions League last season, with Messi scoring a brace in the second leg. Messi had spotted Dembeles run, and the Frenchman blasted the shot into the back of the net.

They both have great understanding, and Dembele takes some creative pressure off Messi. They have similar playing styles, and together they can stroll past any defense. Valverde may try to play a 4-3-3 or a 4-2-3-1.

This can enable Dembele express himself completely, since he will have a wider role in a 4-3-3 system. Coutinho is a beast on the left hand side and plays brilliant football as a CAM. Nevertheless, he can also take up the role of a left winger in a 4-2-3-1 formation. Versatility is one of his greatest qualities.

The 4-4-1-1 formation could also be used by Valverde, as Messi gets to play as a number 10, this he seems to prefer. Suarez gets to play as a pure central striker with Dembele and Coutinho on the right and left wing respectively. Busquets and Rakitic would pull the strings in the midfield.
