White at RB when Tomi is injured could be good. He has the build up play and now that we have Saliba we won't miss him in the middle.
Prefer him at RB to Cedric anyway.

this is my thought since last year
But he's one of our principal centre backs. We need him to play at centre back
Granted he is quite offensively minded for a CB but we need him at CB. Especially if Gabriel goes

Doesnt sound bad at all and we can definitely use that in 1 or 2 big matches where we need some extra defense ( Liverpool/City away ) but for every game that would mean we'd have NO meaninful cover at all.
Tomiyasu RWB - White - Gabriel - Saliba - Tierney LWB
Its an amazing back 5 but we shouldnt put all our cards on the field for EVERY game. We are way too unlucky with injuries to be doing that.

I'd prefer that but ............
All indicators are that clearly Arteta is going to be using the same 4-2-3-1 as last year.
Remember we've invested in Odegaard and Vieira so that no10 spot is going nowhere, you can still play it in a 3-4-1-2 but Arteta has been using 4-2-3-1 in every game during pre-season so no signs of a change there.
We actually don't have the CB's numbers wise to play 5 atb for all comps anyway, not when we're looking to get rid of Mari.
