Team Preview #1...

Options will be a popular word around WPS camps this month as coaches look to squeeze as much versatility as they can out of what will ultimately be 18-woman rosters with four optional spots for developmental players. DiCicco has yet to decide what shape the Breakers will be in when they open play April 5 at FC Gold Pride, but his initial vision is for Lilly to team with England’s Kelly Smith as attacking midfielders. Both have extensive experience playing in the midfield as well as at forward.

“They see the game so well,” DiCicco said. “They can get in, they can play off players to get in, they can shoot from distance, and they can deliver final passes. We’re looking at 4-3-3, 4-4-2, or even 3-4-3 but having them in attacking midfield roles.”

Right idea for Smith, definitely. She's always looked at her best playing behind or off a striker, rather than as the center-forward herself, and just ended up playing up front for England a lot because of our lack of decent alternatives. When the only people in your squad who can finish are midfielders, you end up tempted to play them up front even if it isn't necessarily their best position.
