Goalkeeper: Drake Callender – The goalkeeper has been the team’s starter for a long time and for now there is no one who can take his place, since he has the full confidence of Gerardo Martino.

Defense: Sergio Busquets – Tata has managed to make the team have influence on the field and one of the adjustments has been to place the veteran Spaniard as a central defender, leaving behind his role as pivot.

Defense: Hector Martinez – With so many casualties in the defensive zone, the board signed the Paraguayan from River Platesolving for now the problem of low numbers Nico Freire and company.

Defense: Ian Fray – The right back was used as a centre-back in the last match and as usually the eleven that wins, eleven that repeats, there is no doubt about his appearance, without forgetting that he started one of the plays that ended in a goal against Chicago Fire.

Pivot: Yannick Bright – Another who has been put in a different position to his usual role as right back. Tata decided to move him forward to carry out Busquets’ duties.

Pivot: Federico Redondo – The Argentinean, who arrived this season to reinforce the midfield, is paying attention to his true zone. So far he has two goals and two assists and must be careful because he has four yellow cards.

Right inside: Marcelo Weigandt – Similarly, the coach decided to move the Argentine forward a few meters in his position, an experiment that worked against Chicago.

Left inside: Jordi Alba – The other veteran of the team. The Spaniard is in charge of defending the left side, but at the same time, he is the escape route on that side.

Right winger: Julian Gressel – The German must be one of the pieces that the strategist likes the most because he handles different areas as a right back and inside midfielder, central midfielder and now enabled as a winger due to the absence of Lionel Messi.

Left winger: Diego Gomez – Even though Robert Taylor He has that natural profile and scored the team’s last goal after coming on as a substitute against Chicago. The Paraguayan will possibly start again, even though his best form is as a central midfielder.

Forward: Luis Suarez – The Uruguayan continues to score goals, after scoring his double which was his 16th goal with the pink team. He recently announced his retirement from his national team, so he will be fully focused on being the team’s top scorer.
