Does Dier leave the team? Or one of the attacking options?
What team would you play and why?

Wanyama is back. What does this mean for the Squad?

I would imagine he'll be on the bench for Swansea, maybe a few minutes late on. Then in against the Spammers if he's ok.

It means we can play different formations again, and also rotate people. Also, Wanyama will need 4 or 5 games to get match fitness / sharpness back and find any kind of form, so won't be an ever present overnight. As long as it's not a Dier & Wanyama DCM partnership I am fine whatever Poch does with them.

Missed his grin.
And I hope it means we going on a roll. A big roll.

We can play 3 at the back far more effectively with Wanyama in the team as he plays quite differently to Dier (whose instinct is to drop in among the defenders, leaving us a man short going forward). So we could see Dier, Vertonghen and Sanchez at the back with Wanyama in front of them quite a bit until Alderweireld is back.
It's such a shame that Dembélé has got injured again as they were so good together in the second half of last season. I'm hoping that Pochettino will try Dele alongside Wanyama in order to provide some attacking impetus in CM and also keep Son in the team!
So
----------HL----------
---ED---DS---JV---
SA--VW--DA--DR
------CE--HMS-----
----------HK----------
is a side I'd like to see.
We have been doing well recently with a 4231 though, so perhaps we'll stick with this and rotate Wanyama and Dier in the defensive CM role with Winks or Dele in the other CM position - the latter would facilitate more time for Lamela as well (Lamela AMR, Eriksen AMC, Son AML).
Edit: I'd totally forgotten about Sissoko - he could be another option alongside Wanyama in either system.
