Crew's offseason was the definition of  . We lost our starting right and left back on a team that is crazy reliant on them. We got a new solid CB and a mid tier winger and that's basically it. We are playing an old man at left back (Santos) which is not his natural position and if he gets injured I guess we are just hosed because we basically have no depth there.The bright side is that this is still essentially the same team that won MLS Cup 2020 so if we stay healthy unlike last year then who knows. There is a 0% chance of a Supporter's Shield but I think a 5th place finish is likely and a MLS Cup run could happen as long as we make the playoffs. Strengths: -Our Spine (CBs, DMs, CAM) -The best direct freekick taker in the league (Zelarayan) Meh: -Striker (Zardes and Berry should be able to do a serviceable job but if they slump or are injured we are in for some pain). Weaknesses: -Everything on the outside (l/r backs and wingers) -Slow -Predictable If I was coach my strategy would be to: 1) get ball 2) get ball in area directly in front of box 3) draw fouls 4) let Z drain freekicks all day

G-Hawk posted:The recent increase in transfer fees into mls has tilted the league more toward attacking in terms of talent balance i think Yep. Like look at the LAFC vs CLT game. You have loving Vela and Arango attacking some poor bastards named Brandt Bronico, Ben Bender, and Quinn McNeill in the midfield. Like these guys don't have a chance in hell against that quality. Basically all clubs finally have the resources to get some really potent attacking players at this point so that is where all the money is going, and they are just throwing draft players out to defend and hope for the best.
