A new wingback formation may be the way for Leicester to go

While Ricardo is sound enough technically to keep possession in tight spots. Which will certainly aid in building up from the back, something that LCFC do struggle with, when passing lanes to Youri Tielemans – the typical connector between the defence and forward line – are blocked. The 28-year-old racked up one goal and three assists in the 21/22 season and numbers should increase considerably if he were to assume this role.

On the other side you will have Justin who, being a natural right-footer can initiate less predictable balls in behind, by making runs from deep beyond and inside the opposition full-back with much more intent since he will not have to waste touches shifting the ball onto his favoured side. This kind of play will be constantly available if Justin is willing, due to the fact that when in a front two, Vardy will drift regularly into the left channel which will allow for Justin to make those dangerous diagonal runs in behind.

This of course give defenders more to think about than just Vardy making those kinds of runs. Also, with most likely Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall playing as the left-sided pivot in that team this would again create better rotations when in possession, since as the natural left-footer Dewsbury-Hall can transfer over to the left wing-back position and Justin can drift inside; something ‘JJ’ does naturally when playing as an inverted left-back.
