Buzz’s FC Dallas Lineup Prediction
When a team is eliminated, everything in the lineup is a crapshoot. You never know if the coach might want to look at some personnel, or combo of personnel, that doesn’t play much. In this case, however, winning still seems to be the #1 goal.
Certainly Bryan Acosta and Facundo Quignon, for example, are legitimate starting options but Edwin Cerrillo and Brandon Servania – at least in my mind – deserve to keep their spots.
Almost the entire XI for me at this stage is an easy choice. Even Nkosi Tafari who, based on Coach Marco Ferruzzi‘s lineup choices – is the only question mark. WIll Jose Martinez replace him again?
Edit: LOL I didn’t put Maurer’s name in the goalie spot on the lineup.
