Brook and Cameron are the two best CBs on the roster. Barring injury or Cameron playing CDM, this should be the starting CBs. Yedlin has played well of recent at RB and Lichaj has been extremely consistent and if he can play LB, why not (not sure if he can actually play LB but im hopeful he can)
Bradley has played really well as a true DM for TFC and Jones has been lighting it up (albeit in only 2 games back from suspension). Nagbe adds attacking flair to the central 3. I wouldnt mind seeing Cameron at CDM to allow for Bradley to push up a bit and have Besler and Brooks be the CB pairing.
Fabian Johnson plays best on the wing and Pulisic has played EXTREMELY well for Borussia Dortmund in 2016. Even though he projects as an attacking mid or withdrawn forward, he has shown he can play on the wing vs. some quality competition. He may be raw, but he still creates a TON of chances each game using his quickness, vision, and dribbling ability. IN FORM Jozy would be great in this formation, but he hasnt quite gotten there yet for TCF. He isn't scoring goals at the moment but his hold up play has been really good and has provided assists. His game is a bit different this year but with some quality service from Johnson, Pulisic, Yedlin (etc.) he could score some goals.
Howard in goal, but not sure he is the best option.
Other notes:
*Please no Castillo...
*Keep Cameron in the middle and Yedlin at back (not mid)
*Beckerman would be OK at CDM but he isnt the future. He does extremely well with Bradley though
*Can (or should) Dempsey start? Im not so sure
*Can we find a way to also start Morris who is starting to play well with Sounders. How about Bobby Wood who has done well in Bundesliga 2? I think they only start if we play in a two forward system.
