Unfortunately had to abandon the player numbers as Power Toughness (except when their number could fit)

I'm a huge fan of the Sounders AND of Magic the Gathering, so I tried my hand as well at turning these seven players into fully functioning magic cards!

Trying to get back in to magic today, and I found why it's been a struggle. That's FOUR THOUSAND NEW CARDS in the past two years??

I'm very much a defender of giving a player time and patience, and I'm very aware he's being put in a position he's not familiar, and there's a lot of reasons something like this can happen.
But these stats from Seattle's TAM striker signing is just frustrating. We have to find the fix.

If you asked me how I feel about the black light on a motel mattress kit this season I'm horrified I'd have to ask you to specify

Formation: 4-3-3
Bench: Arriola
And lastly for now, let's ease back to a tried and true in the modern game. A lot of creation in the midfield for the front three to hopefully run on to.
However, the main difference of this from a 4-2-3-1 is removing creativity from Rusnak and giving it to Vargas.

I'm officially entering silly pet formation time. Why not eschew the wings entirely, and build it up right through the gut? Roldan has proven to be an elite engine player in the league, why not show it off?
However, what the hell is de la Vega doing in this?

With those three out of the way, let's look slightly weirder.
Formation: 4-4-2
Bench: Vargas
The Four. Four. Two. Long time out of fashion, good for breakaways and long ball play. Might be perfect with two pacey strikers to get on long balls.
However, very flat defensively. It's old for a reason.

Formation: 5-2-3
Bench: Vargas
A compromise between the two. A lot of width play, and a solid defensive formation. This could easily generate overloads on the wings
However, it forces a lot of players to unusual locations. Rusnak would have to move back, and Morris would have to take a wing.

There's been rumors of the Sounders playing in a 5-man back line. If we wanted to roll out something bold and have both strikers on the front line, this could be the case.
However, it's putting a lot of responsibility in Arriola and Roldan to be the width.

The bread and butter of the Sounders for entirety of the Schmetzer era. If you had to bet, this is what we're riding out with. Arriola can easily slot it anywhere on the four wing spots as a sub
However, it forces Morris or Ferreira to a wing spot.

Okay, assuming Arriola is a go, the Seattle Sounders currently have one of the best problems in the league to have. Too many starters, not enough spots.
Let's take a look at some formations, see who might be a bench player, and where people might be playing come the start of the season.

Got a weird question.
What's your favourite piece of media you've never experienced? A movie you've never seen, a game you've never played, etc. What puts it in your heart?
For years I'd never seen The Wicker Man but was certain I would love it just based on what I'd heard about it.
