This is really supposed to be a 4-4-2 diamond (which is not an option). We've got good depth at forward right now, so it makes sense to play 2 up top.
At forward, the only question is whether to start AJ over Jozy. I like Altidore's ability to hold the ball and feed his teammates.
The only real option to Zusi on the left is Fabian Johnson, but we need him in back. Beckerman and Bradley are easy picks in their respective positions. Bedoya gets the nod on the right in a close pick over Mix, whose club form has not been great.
The back 4 are an easy pick once you decide not to play Fabian in midfield. Alvarado should get time there too.
