Strikers are most consistently the ones who score goals (touchdowns); they are players who get the ball and go to work on breaking down the defense.

This is no new concept for Beast Mode. A good forward always has a nose for goal, and with 35 TDs in the last three seasons, Lynch would be sure to find the back of the net on the soccer pitch.

**Closing note: The captain of the USA Men’s Soccer Team is a Seattle Sounder, along with a sub who has already appeared in two games, DeAndre Yedlin.**
