It's what makes sense for the players available. Going with a 4-2-3-1 seems more appropriate for the LF/RF in this formation and suits them better, but this formation likely clogs a midfield just as well and prevents Espinoza and Co. from penetrating the back four. Runs that Johnson and Chandler make to keep it from being too narrow will be critical!
