2022 MLS Predictions: Eastern Conference

14. Charlotte FC

The coach basically said their roster is screwed and the general manager reeks of ego and incompetence. Maybe that's overly harsh and the team will get a few big signings and the players on the roster will play better than ever. But there's so many issues, especially offensively, with this group. They won't have a single Designated Player available for their season opener against DC United. Everything about this franchise feels incorrect in a unique way, But then again, their coach is excellent and maybe things work out.
