FC Dallas vs LAFC: Lineup notes
FC Dallas wraps up the month of September with its third straight home game tonight when they host LAFC.
Lineups are in from both sides. Let’s dive into what Eric Quill’s starting group looks like, who is on the bench, and who we believe will see minutes off the bench in this one.
What Changed From Last Match
The international break certainly forced a few changes from Quill tonight.
Santiago Moreno and Logan Farrington return to the attack, while Chris Cappis stays in the lineup for a second week with Ramiro suspended. Nolan Norris returns to the defense tonight with Shaq Moore shifting out wide with Bernard Kamungo and Ran Binyamin unavailable.
Jonathan Sirois also returns in goal with Daniel out tonight.

Bench
Who should come off the bench?
That is an interesting group on the bench tonight, folks. Anderson Julio returns to the group after being out since mid-August. Daniel Job, the club’s newest U22 player also makes the bench a day after landing in Frisco.
I think we’ll see a mix of subs tonight as a result. Julio, Sarver, Holstad, Delgado and possibly Job earning his first minutes. That sounds about right for this kind of game.
Key Question Heading Into Kickoff
Will FC Dallas wrap up September unbeaten?
If you are going to lock up a top four spot in the Western Conference, you have to take care of games at home like this one. To get LAFC on the road, during a rough patch (one win in their last nine), and without Denis Bouanga and Son Heung-Min, you have to take advantage of it all and pull out the win.
