Beasley has impressed there the past few games and he doesn't track back nearly as well as Fabian Johnson when playing LM. Plus Johnson has almost exclusively played LM for Hoffenheim over the past couple months. He does offer a lot going forward.

He played well in the last game, tbf. It just seems weird.

That Front 6 is about as strong as it gets for us. It'll be interesting to see how Evans fares at RB. He's a versatile player but mostly plays CM/RM for Seattle iirc. Really been playing well this season too.

It's really weird. Feels like Beasley has been playing for 15 years. Guy's only 31 years old somehow :lol:

I keep hoping someone will come in and make sure Beasley doesn't start for us heading into the World Cup. People seem to pretty high on Edgar Castillo right now.

 

I'm a big fan of Castillo. He was the hero of that 1-0 victory in the Azteca last year. Solid defensively and can get up the field. If Fabian Johnson proves solid as solid at LM for us as he is with Hoffenheim, I'd feel really comfortable with a Castillo-Johnson combo on the left side. That's a fluid pairing.

Well you would normally put the GK at the top. This is the tradition.

I format it both ways tbh. Doesn't take a rocket scientist to suss out that it's flipped. :lol:
