The Optimal First XI: A Chicago Fire Tactical Preview

The 2022 Chicago Fire should get you excited. After two years of incomplete first teams and not enough from the front office, Georg Heitz and Co, finally, put their money where their mouth is and signed some difference makers. But, what is this team going to look like and how are they going to play?

The truth is we won’t really know until the whistle blows in Ft. Lauderdale, and even then Jairo Torres won’t join the team until May 1st. However, from the preseason and press availability, I think we can extrapolate into a decent approximation on what the lineup could be, and how they’re going to play.
