The choice of players strongly suggests Colombia will continue to play a high-intensity, narrow 4-3-3.

However, it looks very likely to feature a more conservative midfield and more attacking fullbacks.

A lot will depend if Cuadrado is deployed as a roaming 8 or a fullback.
I predict James plays from the right wing as he does for Everton with either Muriel or Diaz on the left behind what I hope is Duvan rather than Falcao.

All of the midfielders are either ball winners or fairly conservative 8s.

Three of the four fullbacks are very attacking.
