For the Sheffield United match, the Wigan manager brought Reyes back into the starting eleven after two games on the bench while Leo moved deeper, partnering Henderson in a double pivot for the first time.
It was another adjustment, and one that placed more responsibility on Leo to help progress the ball from midfield rather than operate solely between the opposition's lines.
Deprived of minutes across two games, Reyes looked like a starved predator.
From the opening minutes, he attacked the spaces around Sheffield United's midfield with sharp, direct runs.
He pressed their defenders when they tried to play out, chased loose balls and repeatedly looked to get behind the back line.
Reyes, who was especially known for his poor defensive contributions, was sliding into challenges for the fun of it and winning them too.
