This lineup gets Yedlin back at RB, his best position, hes not technical enough to be a right mid yet. Cameron and Besler are our best CB duo right now. Shea could be replaced by Ream in a more conservative lineup, but if (a big if) he can stay healthy, Shea's athleticism and growing familiarity with LB could be useful.
This would be the most creative and technical midfield we have played in a while. A formation that is easily converted to a 4-3-3 in attack, and it gets Bradley back to holding midfield, with Nagbe staying central and taking the attacking reins.
Off the bench, I would like to see Morris for Zardes and Wood for Altidore. The 3rd sub could be any of the following options depending on the game situation, bringing in Miazga at CB to get experience and to cap tie him, Ibarra for Johnson on the right for late game speed, or Beckerman for Jones to solidify the midfield.
