2022 MLS Season Predictions: Western Conference

11. Real Salt Lake

Last year's Cinderellas of the playoffs could be crashing back to Earth in 2022. Like the Dynamo, RSL also have ambitious new owners willing to invest in the club, but that ambition has yet to manifest itself in tangible improvements. The roster is largely unchanged, except key playmaker Albert Rusnak is gone. It's RSL and they'll probably make the playoffs anyway, but this roster as is inspires fairly little excitement.
