Starting at GK
I believe seeing Howard/Guzan here would be a very similar result no questions here
Defense
Ream and Lichaj have proven enough in Europe that they are solid choices and would bolster the wings especially Lichaj who needs to get a chance because the current RB situation is in shambles. Brooks has struggled but I believe paired with Cameron who would lead the line he has a chance to flourish next to a very experienced player and proven workman who would be a good mentor.
Midfield
Williams proved to be a good performer for Reading and would provide the cover for Bradley to play with confidence, Johnson/Bradley/Bedoya up the center and the wings provide consistent workman like play that makes you not worry about quality or mental lapses and allows Bradley not feel the need to do it all.
Forwards
Dempsey clearly still has it but needs a Robin to his Batman. Rubin is too young, Jozy disappears, and AJ has never showed up. Boyd needs a shot if Healthy it'll give the team a new look and he can hold the ball up.
Subs
Yedlin- Speed and a supersub
Shea- Can fly and provides a spark
Morris- Electric Youngster who seems to have a knack to change a game.
