  "textContent": "FC Dallas is back out on the road tonight as they begin their nine-game road trip when they take on the San Jose Earthquakes.\n\nLineups 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 later on in this one.\n\n## What Changed From Last Match\n\nAs expected, we have several changes to the lineup tonight. Canadian international Jonathan Sirois earns his first FC Dallas start tonight in goal over Michael Collodi.\n\nOutside of that swap, Herman Johansson, Santiago Moreno, Patrickson Delgado and Joaquin Valiente return to the lineup.\n\n## FC Dallas Lineup Notes:\n\n### Starting XI\n\nFormation: 3-4-3\n\nLW\n**Moreno**\n\nST\n**Musa**\n\nRW\n**Valiente**\n\nLWB\n**Johansson**\n\nCM\n**Kaick**\n\nCM\n**Delgado**\n\nRWB\n**C Ramiro**\n\nLCB\n**Norris**\n\nCB\n**Urhoghide**\n\nRCB\n**Moore**\n\nGK\n**Sirois**\n\nProjected lineup · subject to change\n\n### Bench\n\n  * Michael CollodiGK\n  * Lalas AbabukarDF\n  * Sebastien IbeaghaDF\n  * Josh TorquatoDF\n  * Chris CappisMF\n  * Caleb SwannMF\n  * Ran BinyaminMF\n  * Sam SarverFW\n  * Logan FarringtonFW\n\n\n\nBig D Soccer has covered FC Dallas since 2009.

San Jose has been very good this season at home and Dallas hasn’t won there since 2016. If Dallas can find a way to withstand the early pressure, create some solid chances of their own on the counter attack, and limit the defensive mistakes that let them down on Wednesday, they should be able to come out with at least a point tonight.\n\n* * *\n\n****Availability Report****\n\nSuspended: none\nInternational duty: none\nSeason-ending injury list: Kaka Scabin (knee)\nOut: Anderson Julio (Lower leg), Bernard Kamungo (lower leg)\nQuestionable: none\n\nOn Loan: Tsiki Ntsabeleng (Mamelodi Sundowns FC), Enes Sali (Al-Riyadh), Malachi Molina (Nashville SC), Geovane Jesus (North Texas SC), Enzo Newman (North Texas SC)\nUnavailable (off-roster): Daniel Baran, Jaidyn Contreras\n\n* * *\n\n\n\n\n## San Jose Lineup:\n\nFormation: 4-2-3-1\n\nStarting XI\n\n  1. **GK:** Daniel\n  2. **LB:** Ricketts\n  3. **CB:** Roberts\n  4. **CB:** Munie\n  5. **RB:** Kikanovic\n  6. **CM:** Leroux\n  7. **CM:** Vieria\n  8. **LW:** Jasinski\n  9. **AM:** Bouda\n  10. **RW:** Harkes\n  11. **ST:** Judd\n\n\n\n* * *\n\n## **How to watch**\n\n📅 Date: Saturday, May 16, 2026\n⚽️ Kickoff: 7:30 PM\n🏟 Venue: PayPal Park\n📺 Streaming: MLS Season Pass\n💬 Gameday Social: #FCDvSJE\n☀️ Weather: 72, sunny",
