Any idea if we’ve reached out to Theoson Siebatcheu? A 23 year old forward that’s played in ligue 1 for a few years and is miles better than Zardes

Yes. Sounded like he turned us down.

This should have included a trigger warning


I agree with your squad but I think we need to drop a CB for an extra LB, or bring a CB who can play there if needed.

Tomorrow? As in, no more prep time and no speculation about future development? Assuming everyone is healthy? In that case, I still take some guys I wouldn't take in 2022 because I expect decline from them.

GK: Guzan, Steffen, Horvath
DEF: Yedlin, Cannon, Long, Miazga, Brooks, Zimmerman, Lima, Chandler
MF: Adams, Bradley, McKennie, Weah, Boyd, Pulisic, Arriola, Pomykal, Holmes
FWD: Altidore, Sargent, Wood

Guzan
Yedlin-Miazga-Brooks-Cannon
McKennie
Adams-Pulisic
Weah-Altidore-Boyd

Not much different. I'd go a little older because I'm not taking potential. I'd bring Chandler back in the fold even though he's not in our for real future plans, and same with Guzan. I just can't bring myself to take Robinson yet, though he'd be on my list for 2022. I can take Pomykal on potential because, ugh, I hate our twentysomething aged midfielders.

I want to play our Big Three as a triangle in the midfield and McKennie as our DMF, mainly because I think he has more sand than Adams. But I wouldn't get too crazy about a switch. I still am not a fan of our wings, so the OP's idea of pushing Pulisic up is probably better, but I'm giving Boyd the first shot with Holmes the first off the bench because I like his speed. And I really want our best three players in the middle of the field dictating play.

I’m taking Richards. (This is unrealistic)

ETA: Also, I don’t think that team wins shite. That’s the current state of play.

This is exactly what his role should be. We need Adams to stay healthy and another 8/6 to step up.
