Who do you think will start now that Peguero and Djorkaeff are gone? Will we move to a 4-4-2 now that Dunivant is coming in? What are you guys hearing?
Unless I'm mistaken/being lied to, Magee won't replace Youri; he'll replace Pedro up front, Amado will replace Youri at attacking mid, and SOMEBODY will replace Amado at d-mid. Moving Stammler screws up two spots, so it'll probably be either the debut of Joe Vide, or Elie. Hes listed as questionable with an eye injury, but he should be able to play...
Dunivant is hurt. He'll won't even join the team until they get to L.A., and - this part is just educated supposition - i wouldn't count on him even playing that game unless he progresses REALLY quickly and they're REALLY desperate (not standings-wise but body-wise). Maybe two weeks? Thats a guess As far as a 4-4-2, that sure would make sense down the line, once they've had time to actually practice following their return from Dallas, with Dunivant and Wynne adding width from the back. We'll all have to wait and see. Details arent as forthcoming as they once were. Comparing the flow of information from Mo to that from Richie is like comparing Mark Cuban talking about his Mavs to getting Castro to give you a detailed scouting report of the Cuban baseball team.
Brian is spot on... Magee will likely start up front and Amado will take over Youri's spot in the lineup in the playmaker role. Although, Richie likes what he has seen from Marvell in the 3-5-2, but if he starts Marvell on the wing then that drops Henderson or Stammler. You still have a whole to fill at d-mid. It would make sense to go to a 4-4-2 which basically just puts Wynne in at right back. However, the team has practiced that formation in over a month. Possibly, we will see the debut of Joe Vide on the field. He's a holding midfielder that Williams is very familiar with during his time as an assistant coach at UVA. Richie knows what he can get from Vide and that's why I feel it is the most likely possibility. Unless, Richie goes with the Stammler forward experiment. Keep Amado deep. Put Magee in Youri's spot and Marvell in Stammler's spot. Really, there are a lot of possibilities.
