Lots of good points here. The third midfield is something we seem to discuss every offseason but never materliazes. Its a good idea in theory - use the teams' depth to run opposing teams off the field - but in practice it means the first midfield is getting less runs.  With so many options this year, maybe the coaches create a hybrid second line that incorporates four or five players instead of three?

I think we all had high hopes for the second midfield line last year and unfortunately they never really found their stride.  When Quinn is on, he's very good, but when he's not, he seems to turn the ball over left and right. Seebold seemed to take his spot in the Hopkins game and looked quite promising, very aggressive and should have been credited with a goal, but it was only one game. I think Buttermore is the only guy whose spot is secured. Like Jeremy said my money would be on the unit to consist of Buttermore, Quinn and probably Tenaglia but Hiltz or Seebold could also fight for time if they don't see time at attack.

It is crazy that UA AA like Magnan and Fiorini might get bypassed again, but they have an uphill climb.  Magnan looked good against Hobart two years ago with two goals but had a bad turnover the following game and never seemed to see the field again. Fiorini hasn't seen non-mop up duty.
