Chicago Fire: Paolo Tornaghi (Alec Kann* 75’); Jalil Anibaba (Daniel Sterres* 61’), Steven Kinney (Logan Pause 45’), Austin Berry (Raushawn McKenzie* 61’), Gonzalo Segares (John Gallagher** 61’); Wells Thompson (Alex 61’, Jose Alexander Pabon* 94’), Joel Lindpere (Daniel Paladini 61’), Jeff Larentowicz (Brendan King 61’, Kevin Mercado* 88’), Corben Bone (Yazid Atouba** 45’, Trialist 4* 88’); Sherjill MacDonald (Blake Brettschneider* 61’), Chris Rolfe (Trialist 3*)

Jeff Larentowicz was the captain for the starting 11.....interesting

Interesting Larentowicz was the captain for the first 60 minutes (starting 11).

Wouldn't put too much stock into it when Bone and Wells are playing.

I'm liking that Frankie is sticking with a 4-4-2 one defensive midfielder formation and it helps that Pause isn't in the mix as our defensive midfielder. He's listed as a defender, so if he's going to play it's going to be at RB, which Anibaba is still a better option. So who's going to our next captain? Friedrich, Rolfe, Lindpere, Larentowicz etc.......
