I have some ideas but none of them are optimal unfortunately.

At this point Cook will likely get the initial crack at it, he's had enormous struggles but apparently has looked good this year (take from that what you will).

There are other options but none are great. 
Berkman is now 2 years removed from his knee injury and is a QB type of attackmen, perhaps he could make a play for PT. Ferris showed flashes last year but is hurt/coming off an injury, hard to ask Ferris who is essentially a Freshmen to suddenly be the 3rd starting attackmen. Corsi has show well but again no experience at all and he's true frosh. HE's also had some runs at middie and is more of a finishing attackmen. Tenaglia would in theory be an option as well but his health status is unclear and we haven't heard his name since the fall of 2020.

You could move Birtwistle back to attack, that maybe one of the better options but again your going off of HS tape and he was hurt most of last year and didn't play a second. Another option would be to move Dordevic back to midfield and strengthen that spot and roll with Cook and someone else and hope for the best. Probably the least likely option at this point but not out of the realm of possibility especially if the rumblings about him not exactly excelling at attack are true.

Personally I don't think there really is a good answer. If the midfield sans Dordevic holds up I think you look at Cook and several guys and see if you can find an answer for that third spot. If the midfield is a mess to, I think you move Dordevic back and run him, Curry and Quinn on the 1st line and put together whatever you can attack and probably move Birtwistle there.

Either way you need next years class to get here ASAP
