Who will be in Atlanta United’s starting 11 for Saturday’s game at Minnesota United?
This one should be easier than previous weeks, I think.
There should be just one starter missing: Franco Escobar, who is out after suffering a concussion in the 4-1 win against Vancouver two weeks ago.
Rather than re-invent the wheel, I think manager Gerardo Martino will make a straight swap by moving Chris McCann from left wingback to centerback, and put Greg Garza back in at wingback in a 3-5-2 formation.
The rest is the same as when the team last played two weeks ago:
Goalkeeper: Brad Guzan
Right wingback: Julian Gressel
Centerback: Michael Parkhurst
Centerback: Leandro Gonzalez Pirez
Centerback: Chris McCann
Left wingback: Greg Garza
Holding midfielder: Jeff Larentowicz
Midfielder: Darlington Nagbe
Attacking midfielder: Miguel Almiron
Striker: Hector Villalba
Striker: Josef Martinez
