First match of the MLS era for FCC although it is just preseason. Tonight at 7pm vs Montreal Impact. FCC supposed to use two different squads each playing 45minutes. The match is not televised but Pat Brennan from the Enquirer will be tweeting play by play (@PBrennanENQ). I'm curious to see what formation we step onto the field in, as well as who plays the creative central midfielder role.
FCC lining up in a 4-3-3 for the first half . Tytoń (GK) Smith Waston Hagglund Deplagne Bertone Stanko Cruz Lamah Adi Welshman

Apparently none of the SuperDraft picks got any playing time in the opening preseason match although they all dressed and were on the bench. I really want to hear how Frankie Amaya does against the big boys. Perhaps he'll get some minutes on Saturday.
