De Rosario has looked very good in his minutes with Seattle’s top 2 strikers out. He’s very physical and can give us a target forward back up to Klauss, which we need desperately. Plus he has speed which would make him a dangerous late game sub. Could be the Klauss heir if he’s not here after 2026

Georgi gives us speed and 1v1 ability on the wings which we need more of on this roster, especially if Celio is moved this winter.

Leyva is a DM/CM that can fill the Lowen role if he’s out and gives a younger Morales type role next to Lowen. Progressive passer with the legs to cover ground as a 6. Could be signed under a U22 deal

Hope we get to see something close to these lineups this season. I think these are likely our best XIs with the current squad plus signings we have confirmed so far. First lineup is a bit more offensive and second more defensive, so sort of a Home & Away starting XI. #AllForCITY

Hope to see this lineup to start tonight. Don’t like the central midfield but it’s what we’ve got. If you’re going to burn his last appearance, Joyner should start. Would like to see Orozco over Hiebert (assuming Wentzel isn’t 100%) as well #AllForCITY

If we are going to maximize the roster potential, I think it makes sense to go 3 DP and sign a RW and a 6/8. My full wishlist is below. This initial rumor could potentially cover two of my ideal signings.

This is rough, but I think this is how I’d line up to start. Didn’t like what I saw from Silva defensively, which is why he isn’t starting this one. Becher at RM would be an option too if they bring up a City2 striker. Think i still prefer this to start #AllForCITY

Assuming Nilsson and Alm never get back to full fitness, I think these are our strongest lineups. Silva has potential to play his way in but he wasn’t great

My early thoughts on the XI to face Portland. Hopefully Durkin is alright after he was hobbled for a bit yesterday. Not sure Lowen will travel or if Tots and Kess will be ready to start. Also assuming Teuchert will be out a couple weeks at least - looked like a hamstring. #AllForCITY

I think this group will be available Wednesday, and if they are this is how I’d start.

The starting XI that I’m hoping to see tonight. Would need to swap Kessler for Hiebert at half time and then Teuchert would be an early second half sub. Hopefully we see Alm tonight too #AllForCITY

Central midfield is totally decimated right now, so I think this is likely how we will line up Saturday. Would prefer some speed in partnership with Klauss up top (Silva, Alm, Joyner) and to avoid Kyle at RWB, but I don’t think we’ll see either of those happen. #AllForCITY

My preferred starting XI for #AllForCITY vs LAFC. As much as I hate Hiebert at WB, I think it’s our best option with Reid/Totland out and Horn likely not ready for 90 at LWB. Hiebert and Yaro should be able to slow Bouanga down and Kyle can stay home quite a bit to free up Wallem.

Can’t believe Ocampo made team of the match day! FotMob was also a big fan.
Booing him on Saturday was a lot fun after his somersault routine #AllForCITY

Still feels really hard to say what CITY’s best XI is going to be. Some of my thoughts on potential best lineups with our current roster are below.
The decisions I get hung up on are Wallem’s best position and who to prioritize between Celio & Teuchert. #AllForCITY

My preferred Darbecue XI with the updates to availability. I prefer Becher off the bench and Cedi is likely not ready to start. Honestly think a back 4 would be better for this one but I doubt we see that.
Fully expecting to see 90 minutes of Kyle at RWB but I’ll dream for now #AllForCITY

The injuries are really piling up: Burki, Totland, Teuchert, Durkin, and Horn have gone down in the past 3 weeks, while Alm, JGR, and Reid are still not back. Lowen also a question until we see if he’s back in training this week. Gotta go for the win in KC this weekend #AllForCITY

My preferred starting XI for this weekend.
My guess is that only one of Nilsson/Timo start and Becher will start over Celio. Would prefer my lineup to start tho 😎
