2024 Charlotte FC Games Thread

The season begins tomorrow at The Bank against NYCFC, kick off is at 7:30PM.

Dean Smith guided the boys through a successful preseason and he’s gotten a lot out of a team that on paper, looks subpar.

There’s been a lot of roster turnover but below is my best attempt at what our current roster looks like.

GK: Kristijan Kahlina, David Bingham, George Marks, Chituru Odunze

DEF: Adilson Malanda, Jere Uronen, Nathan Byrne, Jaylin Lindsey, Andrew Privett, Bill Poni Tuiloma, Hamady Diop, Jack Neeley, JahLane Forbes, João Pedro Reginaldo

MID: Ashley Westwood, Scott Arfield, Brecht Dejaegere, Brandt Bronico, Djibril Diani, Júnior Urso, Ben Bender, Brandon Cambridge, Nikola Petkovic, Brian Romero, Nicholas Scardina

FWD: Enzo Copetti, Kerwin Vargas, Patrick Agyemang, Nimfasha Berchimas, Tyger Smalls, Iúri Teixeira Tavares

Great way to start the season and the Deano era! Kinda would like to see him switch Vargas and Tavares b/c Vargas was far more effective and dangerous on the left. Need Copetti or Westy to take pens. Still felt that nervousness in the last 10 minutes though

Copetti was a ghost for most of the second half. Seems the team was content conceding possession to NYC while 1-0 up. Shades of Simeone at Atlético Madrid.

Eh, there were some chances where the ball could’ve been passed to him but it wasn’t. Vargas got a little ball hoggy after he missed that PK when he should’ve given it up to someone else in the box

Possession wasn’t where it needed to be but the counter attack looked good and the defense was superb.

I do have my doubts about Copetti and I think we could use impact players at both wing positions as well as striker. The midfield is good enough that if we had impact players up top then we’d be in real good shape. I’d never say no to an impact CAM though.

Injured but apparently Dean really likes him so he’ll get some run this year.

I believe Agyemang, Bronico, Bender, and Cambridge are all nursing injuries and Diani is having visa issues.

Hope bender doesn't see the field unless he can get some boots that aren't made out or cement

Think there’s a specific time and place for Bender to see the field. It’s when we are down by a goal or in a scoreless game with 20 or so minutes to go.

He doesn’t have the pace, physicality, or stamina to go 90 and his goal scoring ability is greatly diminished when he starts because he’s not playing against a tired opponent.

I could not stand Lattanzio but his use of Bender was spot on last year.

    • You’re playing madden we’re talking real football stuff…. He does have you seen his special on internet he def thinks he’s getting paid 
    • Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates    
    • This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
