gazlfcforeverYou could argue that Fabregas is Xavi's replacement and won't feature as much this season but I think that their formation will be changed slightly to accommodate Fabregas. It will be a sort of 3-1-6-0, with Busquets playing as a centreback/defensive midfield. A midfield quartet of Xavi, Messi, Iniesta and Fabregas makes you wonder if they'll ever lose the ball. I can't see how the other teams can cope with their attacking 6.

ZolaThey'll probably stick to 4-3-3 and rotate the midfield more often. Pep might experiment against weaker teams when they have a cushion, but that will be that.

tariroits a good formation but, against madrid we need 2 full time center halves (pique ,masherano) and a full time holding mid (busqutes). so fabrigus comes in 4 xavi in the second half like in the world cup final
