------------Westberg------------
Laryea-Gonzalez-Mavinga-Auro
--------Delgado-Bradley--------
---------Pozuelo-Osorio---------
---------Akinola-Altidore--------

...on a surface level anyway. There are some players there who would really struggle with the pressing system that makes that formation work for other red bull teams. But with a couple changes that could work (replace Altidore with a better version of Endoh, replace Gonzalez with someone younger and more mobile for example)
So would this be 4 defenders, 2 CDM, 2 CAM & 2 strikers?
