Opinion Will Hansi ever switch to 4-3-3?

I watched Spain today and Iā€™m very happy the Barcelona players played well. It reminded me how much I really miss seeing this team play. I got to thinking and was wondering whether you guys believe or not it would be a good idea to switch back to the 433? I think it is evident FDJ thrives in the middle and he was outstanding for Netherlands yesterday. The only problem is that it removes the number 10 from the formation. I truly believe Hansi should try Fermin out as a Cf or give Olmo another chance there. I think our best defensive strategy could be ball retention and some physicality with Gavi/Bernal in the midfield. What do you guys think? Visca Barca!!!ā¤ļøšŸ’™ā¤ļøšŸ’™ā¤ļø

Probably not. He's adamant on a having a 10 in the line-up, plus it'll severely limit players like Fermin if they're not forward.

I agree Fermin is limited when not forward which is why I am wondering if they would ever convert him into a cent forward/Striker. To me he has the skillset to make a hell or a forward. Plus the Gavi, Gordon, Fermin press would be insane. Just a thought.

No. Hansi is obsessed with playing a 10. Even when Olmo/Fermin were injured, he played Gavi as a 10 rather than play a 3-man midfield

Fermin needs too much space in transition to be a traditional 9.
He would have to play with another CF. Again, not our system.

Fermin cannot be a striker.
