I had a quick galaxy brain moment this week where I wondered whether Atlanta United’s depth going into 2018 was maybe actually worse than the 2017 version of the team. And seeing as how many had identified this as a 2017 weakness that needed bolstering in 2018, it seemed like a something I might want to write a quick post about, even though we’re still waiting on a potential Carlos Carmona replacement.
I did some quick back-of-the-envelop work to figure out if this hunch was correct. I wanted to get a sense of the collective game experience/form (minutes) that was to be hanging out on the bench in 2018 compared to that of the expansion team in 2017.
