Would play more like a 4.2.3.1 w/ Jones playing more forward (like he has been for Colorado lately) & helping to negate his tendency to get sucked forward. Nagbe & Bradley play, shuttling & protecting roles with Villafana & Yedlin overlapping as necessary. Altidore would play more forward, asking Pulisic & Wood to do a bit more defensive duties. I'd envision Wood & Pulisic acting as 2nd forwards with Altidore with off the ball run into space or checking back depending which side of the field the ball was on. Brooks & Birnbaum get the start in back as they can distribute, are physical, & both tend to have solid positioning. You could swap out Bedoya for Wood if you need a stronger defensive presence & wanted Yedlin to get further up the field. Besler for Birnbaum if you want experience on the backline. Sadly, Keeper is the position I'm most up in the air about, with neither Guzan nor Howard coming off any run of stellar form.
