    Don't know if you listen to Moontower Soccer, but this question was the source of a whole segment on the show this week. https://www.moontowersoccer.com/adam-lundqvist-trade-atx-deep-enough-to-compete-rodney-stays-and-more/

    CCL - First round away and home starting in early March. The away match is actually in the DR. Also a possibility that the Haitian club (which hasn’t played since May of last year) forfeits because they can’t get US visas because their government is basically nonfunctional and we get a bye into the quarters. Quarterfinals: April 4-6 (first leg) and April 11-13 (second leg). Solid chance this is against a Mexican club. US Open Cup - Austin FC enters the knockout competition in the third round on April 25-26. Leagues Cup - Austin FC hosts group stages matches beginning the week of July 21. Tournament ends in mid-August.

    The other thing is that we have so many more games. We are going to need depth and there are plenty of starts to go around. 2022 - 34 regular season + 3 playoff + 1 US Open Cup 2023 - 34 regular season + ? US open cup + at least 2 (probably more) CCL + at least 3 (possibly more) Leagues Cup + ? playoffs

    Gallagher can also play on the right. Can see him him starting on either side depending on rotation. Especially given the insane number of matches we're going to play in this year.

    Just one more piece of dead weight that needs to go out.

    That guy seems like he kinda sucks.

    No. SuperDraft is for college seniors and Generation Adidas players. Nothing stopping someone from leaving college early if good enough. But I think the guys worth it usually end up with GA deals. Austin now has three such players (Pereira, Keller, Fodrey) and none of them count against the salary budget.

    Think of it like a Premier League reserve team. It’s a chance for people like Redes, Keller, etc to get some minutes. https://www.mlsnextpro.com/clubs/

    I like this rumor of being connected to another Finnish centerback. There were rumblings that we were interested in him last year before we signed Ruben.

    We've got verde smoke from AP today. Expect an announcement of Zardes at 10 am tomorrow if past history holds.

    The counterpoint is that he’s 9 months younger than Maxi and scored the same amount of goals in fewer games. And he’s returning to a system he thrived in. I like it if the money’s right, but hopefully they’re going to invest some of these savings elsewhere. Like a frontline CB to replace Julio.

    He’s also making half as much as last year and not taking up a senior roster spot with this deal. Good business.

    If you're interested in Academy players, we covered a half dozen or so of the top prospects this week. https://www.moontowersoccer.com/top-academy-prospects-driussi-happy-in-austin-listener-questions-diegos-contract-and-more/

    It's a good waiver pick. Highly regarded talent a few years ago who hasn't progressed a ton. Not a lot of risk with some upside. Same as this guy, who is probably a more exciting prospect but also spells the end of Felipe in Austin. https://www.austinfc.com/news/austin-fc-acquires-midfielder-sofiane-djeffal

    Going on with Glenn Davis tonight to do a little post mortem on the season.

    Jump for LA Football Club is the best chant in all of MLS imo.

    Looks like those tix sold out in two minutes.

    I don't know how many people in LV want tix, but there are way more than 800 paid members. If all goes well, the link will be live at 8 pm tonight.

    Our FO does kind of suck. Away supporters are the best thing about MLS.

    I really do hope we get Frisco in the next round. It’s time to break the streak.

    Y’all, we had the biggest improvement for a second year team in league history and just won a playoff game. Be happy. Buy yourself a manscaped razor so they will keep giving us money.

    There’s nothing to gain by playing starters, but also anyone who has made any noise in the playoffs during recent years has had a much better run into the end of the season than we have. Need to pick up a W at home for the mentality.
