First season. January transfer window closed. I won the preseason tournament and the first two games of the season -- LA Galaxy in the cup and New England Revolution in the league. I won the cup game 2-0 and the league opener 5-1.

Transfers:
In:
- Joronen (Free agent assigned at start)
- Mihailovic
- Wasinski
- Israel Reyes
- Tchatchoua
Out:
- Herbers (Swap for Mihailovic)
- Sekulic (Swap for Wasinski to give Charleroi a RB so I could get Tchatchoua; both great signings though)
- Omsberg
- Mauricio Pineda
- Bornstein
- Chris Brady (1-year loan with option to buy)
I started out with Joronen already in the squad. I guess because he's a free agent, it assigned him to a club that just so happened to be mine. Good for me. I would have started Slonina but Joronen's one year contract gives me the opportunity to slowly transition to Slonina.
I sold Miguel Navarro and he will leave when the summer transfer window opens. I'm planning to replace him with Dragos Albu.

Gameplay:
I use 4-1-2-1-2 narrow and 3-1-4-2. In my 3atb, Tchatchoua is RM, Miguel Navarro / Andre Reynolds is LM, Przybylko is LS, Shaqiri is RS, Israel Reyes / Wasinski is CCB, and Espinoza / Teran is RCB. On my wide players I have "come back on defense."
Typical Bench: Slonina, Wasinski, Espinoza, Casas Jr., Brian Gutierrez, Jhon Duran, & Offor
