Looks like three at the back with Worrall and Benning as wingbacks to me... Pett, Walker, Garrity in midfield... David Amoo employed as central striker alongside Proctor?

I thought maybe a 343? Based on the way it's been posted by Vale:

Worrall Pett Walker Benning

Amoo Proctor Garrity

It's pre-emptive but the summer dealings suggest the side is being constructed primarily to play with wingbacks but with the option of a conventional system.

We have 4 good specialist centre halves (with Jones and Cass both comfortable in a three), Benning and Gibbons who are most likely more suited to being wing backs, a strong midfield with 5 good players who will all expect minutes, and a lack of focus on traditional wingers. Worrall, Amoo, and Hurst are the only trained wingers in the squad (if, from what's been said, Rodney is seen as a goalscorer).

Obviously Clarke is known for switching systems and has remarked on signing versatile players, but it feels like the squad suits 352/343 a bit more than a 442/433/4231 at present.

We could see something like this

Covalan

Smith Martin Johnson

Worrall Pett Walker Benning

Rodney Wilson Conlon

With the wingbacks staying wide and Conlon/Rodney playing in the channels. This could switch very easily to 442, 4231, 532 without the need for subs (which could include Cass, Legge, Taylor, Garrity, Amoo, and Proctor. Not bad!)
