FC Dallas vs Minnesota United: Lineup notes 📝

FC Dallas completes a three-game homestand as they host Minnesota United.

Lineups are in from both sides. Let’s dive into what Eric Quill’s starting group looks like, who is on the bench, and who we believe will see minutes later on in this one.

What Changed From Last Match

The big one up top, Santiago Moreno gets his first start next to Petar Musa. Logan Farrington goes to the bench for this one.

Nolan Norris also returns to the lineup over Deedson (Shaq Moore will push out wide to the wings).

Bench

  • Jonathan Sirois GK
  • Lalas Abubakar DF
  • DeedsonDF
  • Patrickson Delgado MF
  • Ran Binyamin MF
  • Ramiro MF
  • Sam Sarver FW
  • Logan Farrington FW
  • Nicholas Simmonds FW

Who should come off the bench?

Given the game coming up in Seattle this weekend, we should see some rotation tonight. I’d expect to see Deedson, Delgado, Binyamin, Ramiro and Farrington off the bench tonight. But if things are going well, let’s not sleep on Simmonds and Sarver getting some minutes.

Key Question Heading Into Kickoff

Can FC Dallas wrap up the homestand on a positive note?

Two straight disappointing draws at home have lead FC Dallas to what is easily a must-win game tonight against the Loons. The mood around the team has been that they know they’re better than they’ve shown in recent weeks, but the execution of that hasn’t been there for some reason or another. Tonight will be telling if those disappointing draws were a blip or more of a trend that we’re going to see the club fall under as they being to pick up more road games in the coming weeks.
