The Meltdown is Active... run for the hills

I suppose that you're stuck to 4-4-2 for the first few matches while you obtain the manager license, forcing you to play with 2 inner mids, but I'd rate John Linehan as a better inner midfielder than Anthony Pederson.

Stamina and playmaking cannot be regarded independantly in terms of evaluating player performance on a position contributing to the midfield. A player that does really bad in either stamina or playmaking is ill-suited for a position as inner midfielder (or later, when you have the manager license, as Winger towards the middle).
Anthony could be a good midfielder if his stamina would reach at least passable, and fortunately it is much easier to increase stamina via training than it is to increase playmaking. However, at wretched, he is simply no use as an inner midfielder, so either train stamina for a few weeks (I'd recommend that) and see him (and all your other players) increase, or try to sell him to a stamina trainer.

To save on wages, it might be a good idea to already start firing players with no economic or sporting value: Yang vi Hung, Scott Simons, Samuel Black and Mike Munson would qualify in that category, I think.

All others seem to be suited for their jobs, except that I'd really play Josh Godwin as a striker instead of either one you have selected now. His passing really sets him out as better compared to the other two.
