If they leave Hayward in then he’ll get 50.

Been waiting for this type of game from Hayward.

It’s hard to watch this team struggle so much on defense.

We’d be up 20+ points if we could play defense.

Great start, looks like we have our legs back.

Everyone’s favorite center is back.

The season needs to be suspended until after Christmas, we’re risking players not been able to spend Christmas with their families by playing in these games right now. After Christmas the NHL Either needs to bring back the taxi squad or create an LTIR Covid list that allows teams to call up players from the AHL without worrying about cap space.

I can’t believe the NHL thinks this a good idea. Make a LTIR (Covid) and let’s be done with this poo.

Going to try and be there for the home opener and then I’ll definitely go to the game in Orlando.

Hubert’s not a fan of his passive defense.

Didn’t realize Furman was having such a solid season… beat Louisville on the road, beat a solid College of Charleston team, took Belmont to OT… decent season for the kids from Greenville.

Love acquiring all the GAM but the MLS really should simplify this whole thing and just give the new expansion teams three selections (that they have to keep) and $1M in GAM. Here’s my projected depth chart so far (note that some of these players could be loaned out): XI (starter) SUB (depth) GK - Pablo Sisniega (XI) LB - Christian Fuchs (XI), Joseph Mora (SUB), Adam Armour (SUB) CB - Anton Walkes (XI), Jan Sobocinski (SUB) CB - Guzman Corujo (XI) RB - Jaylen Lindsey (XI) CDM - Jordy Alcivar (XI) CM - Riley McGree (XI) CM - Sergio Ruiz (XI), Brandt Bronico (SUB) LW - ? CF - Vinicius Mello (SUB) RW - McKinzie Gaines (SUB)

Damn lol.

Was close… I had: CB - Anton Walkes - Atlanta CF - Diego Rubio - Colorado RB - Tristan Blackmon - LAFC RW - Ismael Tajouri-Shradi - NYCFC LB - Kemar Lawrence - Toronto It’s a shame that we aren’t keeping Blackmon.

Hell yes! ITS!!!

Love Blackmon but unfortunately he’s headed to Vancouver.

Seems like we are mostly drafting for potential. Walkes was a no brainer for me… A+ pick. Gaines and Mora are players you select for their potential. It will be interesting to see how they progress.

Looks like we get a bunch of views around here but not so many posts. Hopefully that changes. I know it’s a new game to a lot of people but everyone should feel welcome. I live in Orlando so I’ve been supporting Orlando City since their inception but being from Charlotte I am absolutely pumped for this team.

It’s time!

Agreed, good defenders are hard to find (especially CB’s). Being able to choose from a plot of proven MLS defenders is huge. Those DP slots can be used to enhance the wings. I always tell my high schoolers and club teams that I’d rather win a game 1-0 than 5-2 because it usually indicates that you have a strong spine (LB/RB, CB, CDM, CM) and that you can play a possession based game.

Whatever, this team needs some time to rest up. Fuging Canada needs to get their poo together.

Chatfield is now hurt, cancel the season until after Christmas… fug it.

Forgot to mention, a live stream should be available on https://www.mlssoccer.com tonight. Draft coverage should start around 7:00PM EST I believe.

Welp… this dropped a few minutes ago. I’m hoping that we keep Walkes and don’t flip him to another team. As an expansion side, you can’t do much better than him at the CB position. I also have no idea on the validity of this tweet, but adding Blackmon and Walkes would be huge for our club. This right here is a little concerning, not sure why you’d draft Medina when you can sign him on a free transfer while also drafting ITS from NYCFC. And of course… TRADES!

I’ll list my five picks below: I’m operating under the impression that Ruiz and McGree will have green cards by the time the new league year starts meaning that we should have six international roster slots available (Alcivar, Corujo, Mello, and Sobocinski taking up the other four). Armour, Bronico, Lindsey, Fuchs (Green Card), and Sisniega (US Passport) won’t require an international slot. My top factors are age, salary, and performance. With that said, I would select: CB - Anton Walkes - Atlanta CF - Diego Rubio - Colorado RB - Tristan Blackmon - LAFC RW - Ismael Tajouri-Shradi - NYCFC LB - Kemar Lawrence - Toronto I went heavy on defense because I think you need an experienced defense to compete right away and I’d prefer to beef up our midfield and wings with DP’s. Our lineup would look something like this: (if we draft Lawrence then you move Fuchs to CB, he has experience at the position with Leicester). GK - Pablo Sisniega LB - Kemar Lawrence, Adam Armour CB - Christian Fuchs, Jan Sobocinski CB - Anton Walkes, Guzman Corujo RB - Tristan Blackmon, Jaylin Lindsey CDM - Jordy Alcivar CM - Sergio Ruiz CM - Riley McGree, Brandt Bronico LW - RW - Ismael Tajouri-Shradi CF - Diego Rubio, Vinicius Mello When it’s all said and done the most likely scenario is that we select two or three players and make some trades. One way or another, this is going to be interesting.
