Jozy has the size & strength needed as your target striker.
Donovan & Dempsey provide much-needed experience (Landon may only be in for 60 mins or so... Just doesn't have the wheels anymore) & Zusi provides excellent service from the right.
Bradley & Jones are essentially foregone conclusions in the middle (w/ Jones possibly leaving @ half or soon thereafter).
Johnson & Besler are the best options where they are (Johnson having the ability to both join the attack while also maintaining his defensive responsibilities, & Besler providing solid defense on the back line).
Gonzalez has been up & down as of late, but you can't deny the terrific upside he serves up when on his game... As well as the height to match up w/ other teams' larger forwards.
The RB position is the toughest to determine (surprise)... Chandler gets it because of the undeniable potential he provides & the proven (albeit inconsistent) ability as a FB to hang w/ talented forwards & wingers.
Tim Howard is Tim Howard... Not much to say here other than the dude's been holding it down for the US for a long time now & is the best keeper we've ever produced.
