After a two-week hiatus, Atlanta United returns to action to take on the Columbus Crew. The biggest question regarding Atlanta’s lineup continues to be whether or not Ezequiel Barco returns from his involuntary leave of absence (I just made that up and I’m proud of it) imposed by Tata Martino. Could we expect the young Argentinian’s comeback story to begin on Sunday? Let’s take another crack at this week’s lineup.
Here is the definite, surefire lineup for August 19*.
*I’m probably wrong.
Formation: 4-3-3. With Franco Escobar coming back from his yellow card suspension, it makes sense to return to a formation that Atlanta has seen a lot of success with against the Crew.
