As I wrote in the U23s thread, I think Bindon will be at RB in the Olympics.
To me it makes sense not to use an overage spot on Payne (meh), and Sheridan is still incredibly green for such a big stage, against players potentially as good as Mbappe.

If Wood, Singh & Cacace are all available, you want them playing in France. A Surman & Hughes CB p/ship (played together in some big tough games at last year's U20 WC) with Libby plus Bindon on the flanks looks solid. Or even LK-H in as a 3rd CB (French match especially). 

Of course if one of the big overage 3 is unavailable, then yeah I guess you pick Payne, and Bindon goes to CB. OVH another RB option. 

Agree RB is not Bindon's position long term, but for the balance of this Olympics squad, I think it's where he should play.

If M Boxall & Tuiloma ain't released by their MLS clubs, Hughes and LK-H could both get call ups for the Nations Cup. Looks like Pijnaker will be out, and even Tommy Smith (Wood's best mate in the AWs) could be at the Greek Island wedding for a bit. LK-H of course got called up for the March games in Egypt.

Things get really desperate there are ex AWs Kyle Adams in the USL and Nikko Boxall at Eastern Suburbs.
