**This is my prediction of starters and not who I actually want as starters**
Players with USMNT experience will likely get starts. Out of the GKs with USMNT caps, I think Bingham has the most upside while many of the others (i.e. Robles and Rimando) are declining. Arena must select one inexperienced CB and I think Zimmerman has the upper hand playing with the U23s/U23s/U18s. Also I think Rosenberry (a natural RB) will get the start over Zusi (trying to convert to RB which actually makes sense to me). Garza has experience with USMNT and has a better shot than Beasley (LOTS of experience) for WC18. Lletget deserves to start and Arena knows him well so I think he will get the start at LM. RM could be Nagbe or Bedoya. Unless there is injury, I dont see Altidore and Bradley not starting. If we go with 2 forwards, I think Morris will start. Sorry Jones and Feilhaber, I don't think you guys will start, but I am excited for Feilhaber to play.
