So decisions have to be made in terms of lineup. The evidence of sub patterns says Schellas Hyndman has wanted to get George John back in the lineup, and this looks like his chance.
So who else is going to play? Based on various things here's our best guess.
Perez and Villar are no brainers, as are Jacobson, Hernandez, Ihemelu, Hartman, and Loyd. John as I mentioned should step in and I think Petruz will get the call at left back. He's outplayed Benitez anyway, in my opinion. Hyndman moved Benitez to midfield last game and seemed to think it worked based on his quotes. And last, but not least, FCD has an article this week about Bryan Leyva and how he had played well enough to start again, which frankly I agree with.
So here you go...
| Perez | |||
| Villar | |||
| Benitez | Jacobson | Leyva | |
| Hernandez | |||
| Petruz | Ihemelu | John | Loyd |
| Hartman | |||
So what lineup would you run out?
