USMNT Depth Chart

I would put Boyd above Rubin, and Ream over CCV and Besler.

Omar should be slotted as 3rd/4th CB overall. He's going get called up. 2nd RCB seems right.

Beasley 3rd LB?

Dax ahead of Acosta/Williams?

Also think that wondo has to be there above Rubin and Boyd. Not because I want him but because he'll get called before them.

There's a LB missing

Some frick was a known mercenary that was called out by Tim Howard. I don't expect Bruce to call him up unless things get really dire.

I think if healthy, Zardes > bedoya.

Well he and Bruce worked together in LA. I figure Bruce would take him over Bedoya.

Both of them are in the picture because of their tireless workrate, so I think when picking between the two, it's a close call. Zardes is faster and has a better nose for goal, while Bedoya is more calm and composed on the ball.

To be honest, the only reason I put Bedoya over Zardes is because the latter is coming off an injury, otherwise, it's a coin flip, IMO. Both have something to offer to the pool.

Also think that Zardes would get put up too before some of those guys. He plays on the wing and up top. He's flexible because Galaxy are always injured. But they don't have Keane anymore so he'll probably play ST all season.

What happened to Marc Pelosi? He's been a big player for all the US youth teams. Did he just stop developing?

Also, as soon as Manneh becomes elligible, he should be ahead of Zardes.

Well Manneh is just 22, 3 years younger than Zardes.

I could be wrong, but I don't think Manneh can play for us until he turns 23 in December. By that time, I think he will be above Zardes. If you want a winger that is better defensively and can run for days, use Bedoya, not Zardes. At least Bedoya has a better touch although he usually makes the safer plays.
