Sampaoli can also use a three-man defence to bring the best out of his squad. Marcos Rojo's versatility would mean that he could drop in as a third center-back. Di Maria could adapt to play as a left wing-back who would be given the license to go forward.
The three central defenders would enable Argentina to have more possession and more control. The wing-backs can stretch the field and create space in the central areas for the likes of Dybala and Messi to exploit.
This formation could work especially well against defensive teams as Di Maria, Higuain and Salvio can maintain their high positions which will force the opposition to retreat. Certainly an option worth considering.
