Zip_ME87 Posted January 1, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2019 (edited) Road to March 2: Catch up with your team's moves ahead of the 2019 season Atlanta United Projected starting XI (4-3-3, right to left): GK Brad Guzan – Franco Escobar, Michael Parkhurst, Leandro Gonzalez Pirez, George Bello – Eric Remedi, Julian Gressel, Darlington Nagbe – Tito Villalba, Josef Martinez, Ezequiel Barco FC Cincinnati Projected starting XI (4-4-2, right to left): GK Przemyslaw Tyton – Alvas Powell, Mathieu Deplagne, Kendall Waston, Greg Garza – Emmanuel Ledesma, Victor Ulloa, Leonardo Bertone, Roland Lamah – Darren Mattocks, Fanendo Adi Columbus Crew Biggest move so far: It's not been confirmed or announced yet, but all signs point toward Caleb Porter taking over as head coach. Projected starting XI (4-2-3-1, right to left): GK Zack Steffen – Harrison Afful, Jonathan Mensah, Lalas Abubakar, Milton Valenzuela – Wil Trapp, Artur – Pedro Santos, Federico Higuain, Justin Meram – Gyasi Zardes Montreal Impact Projected starting XI (4-3-3 defensive, right to left): GK Evan Bush – Bacary Sagna, Victor Cabrera, Rudy Camacho, Daniel Lovitz – Samuel Piette, Micheal Azira, Saphir Taider – Alejandro Silva, Maxi Urruti, Nacho Piatti New England Revolution Projected starting XI (4-2-3-1 right to left): GK Matt Turner – Andrew Farrell, Jalil Anibaba, Michael Mancienne, Edgar Castillo – Luis Caicedo, Scott Caldwell – Juan Agudelo, Diego Fagundez, Cristian Penilla – Juan Fernando Caicedo Orlando City SC Biggest move so far: There have been too many moves amid the Lions’ overhaul to name just one. Danilo Acosta and Joao Moutinho with fresh starts are intriguing and Mendez has big shoes to fill in the midfield. Portland Timbers Projected starting XI (4-2-3-1 right to left): GK Jeff Attinella – Zarek Valentin, Larrys Mabiala, Liam Ridgewell, Jorge Villafana – Diego Chara, David Guzman – Andy Polo, Diego Valeri, Sebastian Blanco – Jeremy Ebobisse Edited January 1, 2019 by Zip_ME87 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zip_ME87 Posted January 11, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2019 My interest is how does Scottish Premiership compare to MLS? Would Wil Trapp really progress more with Celtic than with the Columbus Crew? My opinion is no. I don't think that Perry Kitchen gained anything by going to the Scottish Premiership. I'd hate for Wil to have a similar experience. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fknbuflobo Posted January 11, 2019 Report Share Posted January 11, 2019 Good question. Scottish “Premier” League is level with MLS, except for two teams, both from Glasgow.
