Charlotte FC To Sign Yordy Reyna and Harrison Afful, Acquire Alan Franco (Atletico Mineiro) On Loan

The team is stating to take shape, exciting times.

I’ve made a few changes to my projections. I now believe Fuchs may play primarily as a CB.

GK - Pablo Sisniega (XI)

LB - Joseph Mora (XI), Adam Armour (SUB)

CB - Anton Walkes (XI), Jan Sobocinski (SUB)

CB - Guzman Corujo (XI), Christian Fuchs (SUB)

RB - Jaylen Lindsey (XI), Harrison Afful (SUB)

CDM - Jordy Alcivar (XI)

CM - Riley McGree (XI), Alan Franco (SUB)

CM - Sergio Ruiz (XI), Brandt Bronico (SUB)

LW - ?

CF - Yordy Reyna (XI), Vinicius Mello (SUB)

RW - McKinzie Gaines (SUB)

 

I think at the very least we may see two DP wingers along with another depth winger as well as a depth defensive midfielder, and a backup goalie.

You really don’t think Fuchs is a starter? Also, looking at who we’ve got right now — who would you say is our best player? Walkes?

I think it depends on Mora. They haven’t been able to sign him yet (the risk of using an expansion pick on a player without a contract) and if they aren’t able to then Fuchs will start at LB. If Mora does sign with the club then I’m fairly certain it would be because he’s been all but promised the first chance at the LB position.

If Mora is the starter then I think Fuchs moves to CB where he has a little bit of experience. At that point, it’s a toss up between him and Corujo.

As for our best player, I’d go with McGree. I watch a lot of English football (including the Championship) and I think he’s without a doubt our best player. He’s dominated the Championship in a similar fashion to the way Daryl Dike (Orlando City) did. You may not see him on the scoresheet as much but his breakout play is constantly leading to opportunities. If soccer had hockey assists then I think people would see how valuable he is on the scoresheet. It’s telling that Birmingham City has fought like hell to try and keep McGree. Unfortunately for them, they are dealing with a billionaire owner so it’s not going to work out for them. It’s also very possible that McGree is playing in next years World Cup for the Socceroos.

I think our top 5 players are:

1. McGree

2. Alcivar

3. Walkes

4. Ruiz

5. Franco

I know that’s our entire midfield (along with a CB) and I think that’s how Ramirez intended it to be.

As always, appreciate the insight. Hopefully we’ll be able to come out of the gate strong.

    • Regardless of how we got here, any rational fan should be excited by how well Bryce played down the stretch. Anyone not happy about that level of play either doesn't know what they're looking at, or they're still trying to drive tired narratives. Obviously, Cam had an all-time rookie season, and I'm not putting the two in the same basket yet, but as someone who has watched every snap of Panthers football since the start of the new millennium (Im old), Bryce was playing at a higher level at the end of 2024 than Cam was at the end of 2012 (his 2nd season). Cam continued to develop into MVP form, something Bryce has to prove, but as someone who watched both (and will stan for Cam always), Bryce was playing at a higher level to end year 2 than Cam did.  Go watch the film if you dont believe me. None of that means anything for the future. But the people who said BY9 couldnt play in this league are wrong.   That being said, the only thing that matters is this year. #20 is perfectly fair IMO going into the season. I mean think about it, how would you rank him??!  His in-season turnaround is one of the wildest things I've ever seen... how do you rank a guy who looked like a massive bust in September and by January was consistently playing at a top 10 level? My excitement level is pretty damn high heading into this season. There were throws from the Chiefs game onward where Bryce had Drew Brees levels of anticipation. Im excited to see what he can do with a full deck on offense, something we really never gave Cam. Really hope and expect Bryce to move up this list this season.  
    • Not really, the only QB's (other than Anthony Richardson) ranked below him are new to their teams as a placeholder starter or drafted in 2024 or 2025, not a lot of gymnastics to get there. It's not about how many that is, if it's 20, 12, or 2... It means there isn't a QB who's team has committed to them for the long term right now that they have ranked below Bryce. That's not a great thing.
    • The changes to onside kicks were ridiculous and ruined a significant part of the game     It was already a high risk low reward play.  Why change it?
