Sanchez's linkup play between the striker and the midfielders as a No. 10 is highly underrated

Arguably one of the best roles for the Chilean is the No. 10 position where he just feeds off of the striker. Playing in the space between Lukaku and Pogba would enable him to link up play effectively due to his slick passing accompanied by great movement on and off the ball.

Alexis scored 30 goals for Arsenal last season playing majorly in this position and Jose will be looking to maximize his output by using the Chilean in a similar role. The greatest advantage of deploying a central attacking midfielder like Sanchez is that he will create as many chances for his teammates as many as he will score.

This formation will also allow Sanchez to be as close to the goal as possible and a testing shot from him can always be expected from an appropriate firing range. A front three consisting of Lukaku, Martial, Mata with Sanchez in the No.10 position promises a lot of potential goals and great service to Lukaku as well.
