As maresca like a sitter to play and refereed to as 100 pass per player, who would you have to sit. Enzo is a brilliant passer and can go short and long, doesn't offer too much defensively, but as an 8 he isn't clinical in front of goal,
Caceido is used to this position as played it under RDZ, and his passing is good enough and he offers cover defensively. Would be good like kante in high energy high pressing and shock turner overs higher up pitch but again isn't clinical in front of goal for a midfielder.
Then lavia who we didn't see last year, offers a mixture of both enzo and caciedo but not as good as withers strengths. Gallagher if stays isn't that technical and isn't really suited to a team hell bent on possession but high up press energy legs maybe a spot for him.
That sitting position will be vital imo. I'd choose Caciedo for what he offers off the ball as much as on it.

Matt, Enzo apparently played very well for Argentina last night as a holding midfielder and Lavia in my opinion is so good he can play anywhere but let’s not forget Ugo who looked a complete natural as a DM at the end of last season.

I’m not sure that Caicedo doesn’t play as the right 8, with KDH on the left and Enzo sitting. I’m not sure that you need a destructive defensive player in this system. You defend by keeping the ball.
