2578018, honestly hard to say with the lack of consistent formation + pairings

like we know Christian Pulisic is the first name on the team sheet, but is he a winger or does he take a central counter-attacker role a la Landon back in the day? There's a good chance Bobby Wood is our best striker, but it's not clear if he can play with Jozy or who else we might even try besides Jozy. Michael Bradley is likely our best mie, but does he play deep or up high? Do you pair him with a destroyer or a creator like Kljestan? As far as defense, Klinsi was fascistic about having a left-footer at LCB and a right-footer at RCB, so based on that John Brooks and Geoff Cameron are probably the guys, but again that's murky given all the turnover -- Omar is also good, as well as a number of other guys who might fit better when footedness isn't the key determining factor in selection. The fullbacks? Sheesh, whole 'nother topic, but mainly the first thing we need is a consistent formation, then we can start zeroing in on a best XI again.
