wimmer is known as a defender who can pick the ball up and take it out of defence into a more attacking position, if you look at his stats he created more chances than any other player in a german league last year, therefor he seem to be the perfect centre back partner for vertonghen (when hes on his game ) and good ridence to fazio as he is a donkey as is chiriches! dier seems to me to be inbetween defence and midfield kind of player who also has a wicked cross !! like wimmer he can carry the ball out of defence and creat chances for the forehead of the one and only harry kane C.O.Y.S

No right minded manager would play two left-footed centre backs unless they had to, due to injuries/suspensions etc. Therefore, your “configuration” is somewhat unreal and far-fetched.
Especially bearing in mind Wimmer’s weakness is aerial duels which is where Fazio is the strongest of all the defenders we have. Statistically, Wimmer is also weak in tackles, something that’s Vertonghen’s strength. Again, stats show that his strength is long balls, Pochettino may opt to play him in a left-back or left-sided centre back position (instead of Vertonghen at times – in cup games or europa league maybe!?) or even in the deep midfield, sitting ahead of the defense line. But his pass accuracy rate does not seem that impressive so it would be reasonable to guess that he has been brought in with a view to develop and utilise as needed.
