Moving Cameron to the right and putting Beasley on the left in defense isn't ideal, but I think it's the best option given the roster. I'm putting Edu in next to Bradley as defensive midfielders, mostly because I have an aversion to starting Jones, but also because I think Edu offers more defensively and could allow Bradley to concentrate more on attacking. Kljestan and Zusi provide some much-needed width, while Dempsey acts in support of Gomez. I like Gomez as a lone striker if he has someone like Dempsey under him and gets good service from his teammates.
