Over the last year or so, Orlando City have been an oft-forgotten team in the national American soccer community, even as their rabid fanbase gets them on ESPN every other week. They’ve had their moments (the Cyle Larin saga, the gallons of cash they dropped for Dom Dwyer last summer, Kaka), but as a mediocre Eastern Conference team yet to make the playoffs in their three-year history, they naturally haven’t been a popular discussion topic.
They were a hard team to analyze due to their constant lineup shifting and unknown stop-gaps filling roles all over the field — they have a left-back on the roster who legitimately goes by “PC” and started five games last year.
