Day one starter at left wing.

Looks like it’s a done deal.

Going to edit my roster here… this is what I have so far and I’m also going to add in Obertan who is on trial because I think he gets a contract.

GK - Kristijan Kahlina (XI), Pablo Sisniega (SUB), Adrian Zendejas (SUB), George Marks (SUB)

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

LCB - Christian Makoun (XI), Jan Sobocinski (SUB)

RCB - Anton Walkes (XI), Guzman Corujo (SUB)

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

CDM - Jordy Alcivar (XI), Chris Hegardt (SUB)

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

CAM - Christian Ortiz (XI), Ben Bender (SUB)

LW - Darwin Machis (XI), Gabriel Obertan (SUB)

CF - Karol Swiderski (XI), Vinicius Mello (SUB), Kyle Holcomb (SUB)

RW - Yordy Reyna (XI), McKinzie Gaines (SUB)

 

This would put us at 27 players and could potentially be our roster for the first match.

If we add one more piece before the first game I suspect it would be a depth center forward with Mello recovering from injury or a depth CAM.

Plan on going to their match in a few weeks down here in Charleston.

Anyone with better knowledge of the MLS Eastern Conference tell us how does this roster stack up against the other teams? Seems like a solid club Charlotte FC have put together.

Tough to say but I think we could sneak into the playoffs.

I don’t think Cincinnati, Toronto, or Miami did enough to improve their teams and the jury is still out on Chicago, it depends on if they land Shaqiri.

I think D.C. United, Red Bulls, and Orlando take a step back, I haven’t been impressed with their off seasons and I think Montreal and Columbus take a step forward.

Then I think there will be some rearranging of the top four between New England, Philadelphia, Atlanta, and NYCFC. Additionally, Nashville moves to the western conference with Charlotte coming in.

My preseason standings would look something like this:

1. New England

2. Atlanta United

3. Philadelphia

4. Columbus

5. New York City

6. Charlotte

7. Montreal

8. Orlando

9. NY Red Bulls

10. D.C. United

11. Chicago

12. Inter Miami

13. Toronto

14. Cincinnati

The top 7 make the playoffs.

They just played Granada I think...

Charlotte played the friendly against the national team of Grenada. Machis currently plays for La Liga club side Granada (in the Spanish city of Granada). Confusing, but they are different.

It looks like we might revisit the Machis deal if his legal troubles get wrapped up.

He’d be a superstar in the MLS.
