Not too sure the 4-4-2 will best suit the narrow field of play we will be restricted to on home field (Yankee's Stadium). 3-5-1 with barca-style mid-fielders could make better use of the limited space.
I'm struggling to think of any scenarios at all where taking to the field with ten players is preferable to having eleven...
That said, the 4-4-2 isn't about how it suits the field. It's about that NYCFC has a mandate to play tiki-taka possession football, and to match MCFC's style of play in general. 3-5-2 doesn't suit that style, at least in my opinion.

I'd like to see a 4-4-1-1 or something along the lines of what the US national team plays which is usually a 4-2-3-1
Lone strikers tend to work if you have a dangerous center attacking mid, if we could somehow get someone like Mix I think we could definitely pull it off
Fair enough, but the number of midfield players we seem to be linked with suggest it may end up in a very narrow formation, at least.
Yeah that makes sense. I agree for NYC to play like City they'd need marauding fullbacks to provide width, so should be a priority.
Boyd if it's Terrance injured today out for 10 weeks.How possible would this XI be and how would you guys feel about it?
Well, it's not real, it's just an estimate based on rumors and potentially available players (2+2 cenarios)
Angelino is an extremely highly rated MCFC academy left-back. He's 17 and has no real first team experience thus far, but City are confident that he and Pablo Maffeo on the other side will become City's 2 full backs in the future.
Ephraim is an English winger who has just been released by QPR. He has MLS experience (he played 11 games on loan at Toronto last season), and last played for Peterborough. I had seen his name mentioned on this forum before so that's what brought him specifically to my attention. Other alternatives could be Paddy McCourt (free agent), Giles Barnes (Houston Dynamo), Sal Zizzo, Soony Saad (both Sporting Kansas), Martin Rivero (Rosario Central), Brendan King (Chicago Fire) etc.
Hogan Ephraim was a disaster for Toronto last year. But it's good to think outside the box. Some of your MLS choices could be possible during the expansion draft.
Martin Rivero, who I really like, plays for Chivas USA and is hurt. I wonder if the train wreck that is CUSA will protect him.
