Bedoya steps in for Jones, as he provides a bit more defensively than Kljestan or Feilhaber. I don't like having FJ at LB, but he provides the best attacking option going forward, and Nagbe will cut inside and get on the ball, providing the space for him to get into dangerous spots and provide good service to the forwards. Wood and Altidore have showed that they can form a productive partnership, and I love the idea of bringing on Deuce in the second half for Altidore after he's already worn down the defense. Pulisic, Bedoya, and Wood will all try to get in behind, providing passing options for Nabge, Bradley, and FJ.
