We're reaching the end of April, meaning we are now two months in to the 2022 Major League Soccer season. At this early juncture point, I thought I'd go through the Orlando City squad position by position and break down how everyone is playing through ten games in all competitions.

The center back position is one of the most important in all of soccer. Central defenders are the heart of the backline and anchors of any team's defense. Orlando's primary center back pairing is arguably the best in MLS, but it's been tested this year due to injury. The depth of this group has been tested, and I'd say they've answered the call.
