Chaos is a ladder, said Lord Baelish. Especially when it comes to international football, where injuries and coaching changes – both with country and club – a bad transfer or poor form can alter a player’s standing with their national team in a week or two. Meeting only every month or so results in a lot of variation.
So with the USMNT matches for 2023 in the books, we thought it was a good time to see who is most important to the team, who isn’t, and everything in between, d ‘a way that we have completely removed from Football365. But they’re doing theirs for England, and we’ll be doing ours for a team that could actually win something one day!
To be clear, this is not about who is the best player in the USMNT player pool, nor is it about who is better than who. This is ranked based on importance to the team, which not only takes into account quality, but also replaceability or uniqueness. We will come back before the Copa America to see what has changed and who has changed where. Let’s hit this pig!
