If Pulisic continues to progress rapidly like this I'd assume he'd be the LM moving foward. Where does this place Fabs? LB? I saw him play RM a couple of times and he looked comfortable. That could give us 2 legit wingers. Or is Pulisic way too young and inexperienced to unseat Fabs?

Yeah, I was about to say, Fab can and has played both sides.

Fab at LM, CP at CAM, Finlay at RM.

If we need more attacking in the second half. Move Fab to LB/RB and sub on Lletget.

That makes too much sense we have to be realistic here.

I'd prefer Fabs on the right.

I really like the idea of Pulisic running off Altidore.

CP at CAM

He adds a great dynamic with Altidore and Dempsey. More importantly it allows for Bradley to play deeper.

That makes us solid up the middle... Not sure I like our wing play though. Where would Zardes be? Off the bench?

i can only dream

CPs speed, esp with the ball, puts his highest value at wing, imho

I agree but....

Has he ever had this opportunity with the USMNT?

I'm also fine with Dempsey playing more of a CF role that allows CP to play wide on the left.

Fabs is right footed though.

I would put Lletget in the middle and Pulisic out wide. Maybe play Pulisic in the middle once he starts playing there for Dortmund.

Still waiting for Jurgen to get his head out of his arse and call up Lletget.

Ok... I wasn't completely missing something. What kind of player is Lletget? I haven't watched him.

Edit: His left foot is better than most left footed players.

You should start. Traditionally a center attacking mid but plays on the wings for the Galaxy. He drifts inside a lot, has great stamina, takes people on, and is a constant threat going forward. Great footwork.
