FC Dallas Lineup Prediction

Ramiro can go, but with the stitches in his knee (we hear), I’m giving him till the Seattle game before I bring him back into the XI. Deedson took a step forward so he can stay in the XI.

With Herman Johnasson being subbed out with some form of “injury” late against LA, I’m giving him a rest also. If he pops up actually injured on Wednesday, put Nick Simmonds on the bench again.

At this point, since neither Alvaro nor Ricky Louis are showing up on the FCD or North Texas SC rosters, I am going to assume they are hurt and “assigned” to NTSC so FCD, thinking they are tricksy hobbits, can leave the two off the injury list. Not that anyone gives a fig about those two players being left off the bench (and injury report), except those of us who want to see them develop.

Now for the big one, it’s time for Santiago Moreno to start. Coach Quill has been building Moreno’s minutes; it’s a mid-week game, and Logan Farrington has been a bit off the last two. Start Moreno in the 3-4-3, and Farrington can sub for Petar Musa at 70, reducing the workload on both. Patrickson Delgado can sub for Moreno at the same time.
