Seattle Sounders

4-2-3-1

GK Stefan Frei

RB Kelvin Leerdam

CB Kee-hee Kim

CB Chad Marshall

LB Nouhou

CDM Gustav Svensson

CDM Cristian Roldan

RM Victor Rodriguez

CAM Nicolas Lodeiro

LM Jordan Morris

ST Raul Ruidiaz

Guess who’s back—Jordan Morris! Morris enters my starting line-up on the left, which will move Victor Rodriguez to the right, while Lodeiro, who might be MLS’ best 10, starts in the middle beneath Raul Ruidiaz, who enters his first full season with the club.

Cristian Roldan will take a starring role in midfield, and Svensson will start beside him with Ozzie Alonso gone. Leerdam, Kim, and Marshall are all holdover starters. I still have Nouhou ahead of Brad Smith on the depth chart at left back.
