You could be correct about CB being Dier's better position as I think he is behind Wanyama Dembele and Wilks in the pecking order at CM. Saying that with the acquisition of Sanchez, I want to see the best as our back 3 and I do suspect that Sanchez is better than Dier, so that would relegate Dier to the bench as a squad player
Dier is over rated.

For me dier is quite easily exposed at cb. Last season against anyone of any pace or trickery he would often get into trouble unlike verts or toby who are masters of 1v1 duels.
Dier to compete with wanny in cm.

Was watching some vids of him last night, he is very quick, very strong, It will be like having a Dembele at CB.

My guess is that Sanchez will play at the back and Dier will be a useful utility fill in when needed in multiple positions. He'll cover CB and Wanyama and in a stretch a full back position. Sanchez has something of the Ledley's about him, with pace, power and good awareness/technique. His pace will certainly help us as neither Toby nor Jan are really blessed with much. Plenty of opportunity to grow but might have to cut out some of the sliding challenges in the Premier League.
Then Dier will be dissatisfied and want to leave in January :-(
Keeping a large squad of good players happy is almost impossible.

From the clips of action some members posted, I find that his timing in his tackles really needs improving. Thugs like Costa will seriously injure him.

I think Dier will play the most out of all of them, but he will just move between the two positions as everyone else take turns of being rested

The question we should be asking is what will his price be on fantasy? Could be a bargain if he continue his scoring form from Ajax (y)
