You gotta get value somewhere. I also read a while back that eMLS teams are required to start one of the actual team's players in all games, and that doolsta rolls with Ray for some reason.
When you watch doolsta play, I challenge anyone not to laugh when the computer commentator goes " Kante, passes to Modric, to De Bruyne...to Gaddis."
When I coach youth rec soccer, I also stick my worst player at right back. Easiest place to hide someone.
