YNT-eligible lower-division pro players: 2019 In-season thread

Tommy Madden, a '97 CM out of UNC Charlotte, has signed with New Mexico United.

https://www.newmexicoutd.com/news_article/show/1001984

He was an Orlando City draft pick this winter.

 

This may mean Busio is starting tomorrow against Philly. Heard good things about his midweek performance.

 

Bello is supposed to play with ATL2 today.

 

Also, there's an NTSC friendly today following the FCD game.
[It seems like what they're trying to do these doubleheaders as much as possible.]

76' GOAL!! 💥

Dante Sealy scores with a header to make it 3-1!

I've watched Sealy a couple times and outside his mediocre Nike friendlies showing thought he's looked exciting. Wonder how long he's gonna be with FCD, heard he has a lot of Euro clubs interested. USSoccer975 mentioned this in another thread but the '03s have some strong depth, especially so in midfield and attack. Chifamba, Nyeman, Sealy, Cowell, Miscic, Freeman, Casas, Bohui, Leyva etc compare that to the '02s. If Wicky can be smart about selecting the '03s that are able to play up then this becomes a stronger cycle

 

Bello played 67 minutes. Vazquez had a goal and an assist. When he doesn’t play out of position, he’s a good player. Atlanta has misused him the past two seasons.

 

Watched the first half only, Bello looked pretty good. Had a few dangerous crosses, had some nifty footwork that created space that led to a decent strike from distance that was saved.

 

how did his pace look? he looked pretty lethargic in his ccl appearance and that had many a tad worried

 

Here's a recap of the friendly against Tulsa.

Los Dos lineup from last night...……………..[Jorge Hernandez is Kobe Hernandez. Right?] LAGII lost 4-1 at home to Colorado Switchbacks. Kai Koreniuk got into this game in the 2nd half as well. Saw Matt Hundley got into the game for the Switchbacks. They start two former FCD academy players (Alex Molano and Kris Reaves.)

Different player.

 

Kobe Hernadez started at left back

 

So there's a chance that Kobe Hernandez and Shaq Moore could someday start together for some team in the same backline?

How do we make this happen?

 

Academy '01 who started at CB this week.

Holding down the back line 💪

I thought Rayyan was a forward?
