Who will start for Atlanta United (15-8-7) in Saturday’s game at New England (11-15-5)?
This may be the toughest starting lineup to choose this season because of all of the factors.
Will Atlanta United field its strongest possible lineup because it needs to keep pressure on NYCFC in the race for the second seed in the playoffs?
Or will manager Gerardo Martino decide to use some of the players who haven’t gotten as much time because of the combination of playing on (new) turf at Gillette and the fact Atlanta United has a short turnaround with Minnesota United coming to Mercedes-Benz on Tuesday, and not Wednesday?
Either way, it will be the seventh in a stretch of eight games in 24 days for Martino’s squad.
I think you are going to see a mix against the Revs, who were beaten Atlanta United 7-0 three weeks ago, and who were just drilled 6-1 by Orlando City on Wednesday.
