A disappointing campaign has led to wholesale changes ahead of the new season. Integrating newbies will be a challenge for this new-look Houston Dynamo team. Some early concerns are that they've not really added much quality, despite making a lot of changes. Ben Olsen is their new manager. Defence will be the big problem to begin with. Although they succeeded in keeping hold of Hadebe, half of their regular back four have moved on. Given their penchant for conceding sloppy goals under pressure last season, that's a worry. They've signed a lot of new FBs - that's another battle. Midfield is another concern - they've lost some regulars that were solid enough, and taken chances on replacements. They're still trying to figure out a way to get the best out of Herrera, which is proving problematic. Bassi and van der Kust are the big pre-season acquisitions. Bassi could provide that cutting edge in the final third that prevents Ferreira from being too isolated. Again though, this depends upon the right formation being found by a manager that hasn't been in charge of very many matches. The early stages of the MLS campaign will be key in determining whether Dynamo improve or not this season. It's likely they'll be slow to begin with, trying to get newbies integrated. Ferreira, Hadebe, Herrera, Carrasquilla, Bassi, and Clark are likely to be key to them this season, and close to irreplaceable should any go AWOL.

Target


They'll want a top 7 finish but, unless they adjust quickly and some of their wildcard signings prove out to be genius moves, then anything above 12th would be good.
