Howard is a shoe in. Johnson and Cameron have intrenched themselves into the starting XI over the last year. Chandlers skill set and speed have him over Cherundolo. With Boca being injured the second CB spot is up for grabs and Onyewu has been getting PT lately. Jones is better suited in the holding midfield role rather than being deployed further up the field. Bradley is our best CM option and is in good form. Being paired with a creative CM in Kljestan rather than a CDM would be a great change. Dempsey and Donovan attacking on the wings and causing havoc. Altidore wins the lone spot up top. He hasn't been in great form for the USMNT, but you can't ignore the goals he is scoring for AZ.
