Stuver
Rocha-Sweat-Ibeagha-Tinnerholm
Torres
Haak-Parks
Isi
Mitrita-Bedoya

Is my best guess. I don’t believe they want to play Maxi on this surface. I don’t think Heber starts either.

So Heber doesn't start but our $10 million man does?
 
Would be with you if it was 8-10k, surprised 2 is a problem.

midweek going out to basically LI/ Queens border and you have to take a train and a bus from midtown for example. no way many people going out there. at least i know im not.

Bring Maxi/Heber on as a last minute immediate skill increase in case we manage to somehow shit the bed?

Another option to get to Belson on this gorgeous day is to take the F to 169th Street and walk 20-25 minutes up Homelawn Street through Jamaica Estates, cross under the GCP and then up Utopia Parkway. It has to be the F, not the E, though. It comes after the point where they split.

 
You forgot Sweat, he's been training. Put Sweat at CB and Rocha at LWB. JPT/Bedoya is the wild card in MF. The rest looks legit. We're weak in the back half, but completely outclass them up top. I'd start Isi too in MF for shits and giggles (Keaton, Haak, Isi) and let our 4 forwards (mitri, Heber, taty, Isi) take them to the woodshed so we don't have to worry about playing D.
Ring is not healthy enough to play. He’s healing from a procedure. He’s 100% out. I bet he watches the game from his apartment even.
Good stuff guys. Let’s try this again.

The challenge is that we’ve been told that Keaton, Haak, Bedoya and Torres are all starting. Since those guys are all midfielders, that means one of them has to start somewhere else. The best bet seems to be Torres starting at FB. The below assumes that he starts at LB, but I suppose it’s equally likely he starts at RB with Rocha at LB. I’ve no idea whether Torres is right or left footed.

I got to what I think you want to trot out, but this is a really confusing way to put the lineup because it looks like you have Rocha at RB, Sweat at RCB, Ibeagha at LCB, and Tinnerholm at LB

Chances of it just being a 3-4-3 with Bedoya/Torres as CDM's?

Possible, I guess, but where does that leave Parks and Haak?

If we did a 3-4-3, I think your backline is Ibby, Sweat and Rocha. You then need two wingbacks - probably Torres and Tinny. That leaves two midfielders - and you still have three guys that Dome said would start: Haak, Parks and Bedoya. I don't really think any of them would play as a forward.

That's why I think a 3-4-3 is unlikely, although perhaps a 3-4-1-2, with Parks as a 10.
 
I’m pretty sure Ring also has an option to not play on turf written into his contract. Yes, it’s on espn+.
I wouldn’t be surprised to see As backline,
Rocha-sweat-ibeahga-jpt
Idk about the rest!
