Atlanta United's updated depth chart after the signings of Lucas Hoyos and Tomàs Jacob.

-This assumes that Jacob is the starting RB in a back four
-This also assumes negotiations are continuing with Ronald Hernández

Lot of work still to be done, though

I completely forgot about this but Atlanta United don't have a second round pick (32nd overall). That was given to Inter Miami as compensation for the Chris Henderson hire.

There's a world where Vancouver could play in over 60 matches in 2026.

34 MLS matches
10 CCC matches
6 Leagues Cup matches
5 CanChamp matches
As many as 7 and as few as 5 MLS Cup Playoff matches

Relaxed roster rules/better compensation is CRITICAL for MLS over the coming years
After not competing in Leagues Cup in 2025, Vancouver Whitecaps FC are back in the competition as one of 18 MLS teams next season.

Whitecaps will play in:
- MLS
- Concacaf Champions Cup
- Leagues Cup
- Canadian Championship
- Potentially MLS Cup playoffs

Erkut Sogut going big in D.C. United’s search for a Benteke replacement as he looks to improve their fortunes.

That said, what would the team around Baribo look like attack-wise? Benteke carried a bulk of that scoring load during his time there.

Would be a cash transfer worth around $4m. Baribo would be a designated player in D.C.
