Ceballos further forward is going to make us very sterile. He's best as we're using him now, as a deep lying playmaker who gets on the ball often and dictates play, and occasionally makes an incisive pass from deep (as vs. Liverpool or Leicester last season). He's Arteta's 'brain' and that's where we're going to get the best out of him, a Ceballos-Thomas pivot is quite balanced in the 4-3-3/3-4-3 set-up, I wouldn't really consider him in the conversation of players that will regularly be taking up positions in the 10 space (Saka, Willian, Lacazette--ugh--and ESR).
