In my opinion, Zusi, Davis and Mix just arn't mobile enough to deal with Nani and Ronaldo on the wings. Bedoya has shown he covers plenty of ground, so he would provide good cover for Beasley. Beckerman, Jones and Bradley would own the center of the field. As we have seen, Yedlin practically plays right winger even when he's lined up at fullback. That get's him in trouble when he gets caught up the field, but it wouldn't be an issue here with FJ behind him. Yedlin is not only fast, he's also built like a rock. I have a feeling that Yedlin and Johnson together could completely bottle up and frustrate Ronaldo, especially seeing as how he's not 100% fit. They'd be lethal going forward as well.
