Orlando City seems to be on a bit of run right now — the match against the Portland Timbers excluded — and we have seen a stretch of action with fairly consistent play. A few small tweaks have been made to cover players suspended due to card accumulation, red cards, and injuries, but we have seen the diamond fielded with a pretty consistent XI.
What has been interesting to watch has been Giles Barnes in that No. 10 spot, a position in which we have been accustomed to seeing Kaká play. Head Coach Jason Kreis has shifted Kaká up to a forward position alongside Dom Dwyer for the last few matches, and the pairing has worked well, at least for Kaká in the sense that it appears to allow him to stay up top a bit more and save some energy and legs for when it is needed.
