NYCFC Digital - Hello & NYC TBTs

I'm stumped - Angelino, Shelton and Herrera. Harrison is one level short, and is in the lineup you reference. Facey had 3 games in Eredivisie, but that's not Top 5. Who am I missing?
Also, Shelton's career qualifies as a mystery of the universe. If that Jonathan Frakes Beyond Belief TV show were still running there ould be an episode about Shelton's career..
Poku went to the Russian Super League (I’d laugh but it’s too sad).....

Edit: also, didn’t our Indian League Phenom (lol) move on to the French League?

technically, shelton went from nycfc to SKC thru trade, then got released and ended up in germany.

Poku went to the Russian Super League (I’d laugh but it’s too sad).....

If you asked Vladimir, he’d tell you the Russian League is the BEST league in the world.

Steven Mendoza. Including him was tongue in cheek...... how he’s playing in France is a Mystery.

Mendoza must be it then. I forgot both where he came rom and where he went. And did we ever decide on a spelling of the first name?

Right. Mendoza is the 4th.

And I have no doubt that a credible Best XI can be found that leaves all those guys off. That’s what makes it so interesting to me.

Personally, I probably include Herrera.

So right now if Herrera was still here, would you bench sands? Just curious. I would personally want Sands playing over Herrera
 
Castellanos as left wing back is a very interesting choice :)
First, I went with an expanded understanding of what would qualify as an appropriate formation. In particular, I wasn't trying for the best 11 in the best formation to win an actual game, but the best 11 deserving of the honor in a formation that met a minimal standard of realistic regardless of its tactical effectiveness.
Second, I look at it as more of a 3-4-1-2. Of Taty and Tinny, the latter has much more responsibility for defensive cover, and Callens is expected to lock down the left. When appropriate it could shift to a 4-3-1-2 with Tinny sliding back or 4-2-2-2 with Taty moving in front of Ring and Herrera.
Third, I don't hate Mata, but it annoyed me that he was a unanimous pick primarily because there's no LB alternative, so I looked for a way to exclude him, and this was the solution.
