It might be the best way to get him on the field.  Poch could play Weah there, and that's how I first wrote my 11, but I'd like to see Weah closer to the goal, and I think McKennie has the skill be wide and meet the demands of wingback, both going forward and back.  He also seems to have the legs for the role, with his new-found fitness.

I would use Tessman in a holding role on Antonee Robinson's side, so Jedi can bomb forward at will.  I would put Adams as the other guy at the base of the midfield, and have McKennie and Weah on that side of the field.  I think those guys combine well and have pretty good chemistry.

Right now, McKenzie or M. Robinson are the weak links, in terms of possession out of the back.  Both are pretty solid defenders.  But the back line needs Ream calling out who covers who.

You can't play Ream on the left side by himself, even though he and Robinson know each other so well.  I like him way better in the middle of a back three, so he can be the calm guy to pick out the pass to break the press, but he won't get isolated covering a faster guy out in the channel toward the side of the penalty area.
