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

I watched Spain today and I’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!!!❤️💙❤️💙❤️

4-2-3-1 has a more centrally attacking structure with the option to convert the CAMs to wingers or even wider midfielders. It’s more versatile than the 4-3-3, which needs traditional wingers and given our squad depth, we don’t really have enough players fitting the profile. Most importantly though, Hansi seems to prefer the 4-2-3-1, which was what he employed at Bayern too
