Byram being able to play on the left and right...

I'd be tempted to use him as a sweeper in a back 3 to cover whichever full back has pushed way up or who can step out to help overload a particular side...

Would probably mean dropping a defensive midfielder to go 5-1-3-1 but given the chance to push the full backs so far 5-2-2-1 could be less congested
