This would be a variation of the Christmas Tree 4-3-2-1 to be used if Ronaldo ends up playing. Keep Johnson and Yedlin on Rondaldo's side to handle his speed and it will allow at least one of them to get forward on counter attacks. Keep the trio of midfielders that seems to be effective and play Wondo up top in place of Altidore (though not necessarily as a holding forward like Altidore would play).
