View show details

Sporting Kansas City are in a roster battle frenzy after signing Brazilian forward André Luiz in a club-record deal from Olympiacos. The 4-3-13 side sits 15th in MLS and just lost 3-0 to San Jose Earthquakes, with Dejan Joveljic and John Pulskamp among those fighting for starting spots.

André Luiz's five-year DP contract shakes up the attack, putting pressure on Joveljic and others. Pulskamp, who made three saves against San Jose, faces competition in goal. Wyatt Meyer's 65 accurate passes highlight midfield depth, while LAFC's 4-0 win earlier this season shows the defensive line's fragility.

Hosts Laura and Greg debate who starts up top, how the midfield shapes up, and predict roster cuts. They discuss Joveljic's role, Pulskamp's future, and who's trending up or down as KC looks to turn around a rough season.
