FCD Lineup Prediction
Coach Nico Estevez has to pick a replacement for Nkosi Tafari. He could go with Carl Sainte but the more likely choice is Omar Gonzalez. This is why OG’s here after all. Well, that and leadership.
Jesus Ferreira should be good for about 45 to 60 minutes, which means he should start, I think.
The way Patrickson Delgado is playing I would stick with him as a 10 (particularly now that I know he IS a 10). Paul Arriola could easily be a choice instead but I’ll put him on the bench with an eye on replacing Ferreira at 60′.
Bench Prediction
Jimmy Maurer
Bernard Kamungo
Sebastian Lletget
Paul Arriola
Tsiki Ntsabeleng
Amet Korca
Dante Sealy
Carl Sainte
Logan Farrington
Cause of Sam Junqua‘s tightness in his thigh (He played with it wrapped last game) I put Amet Korca on the bench over Herbert Endeley.
