Out

Zarek Valentin (def) Houston, Brandon Vazquez (att) Cincinnati

It is the inaugural season for Nashville so there will be no great expectations from the team. Nashville will want of course to avoid a very disappointing season like the one that Cincinnati had recently. For this reason they picked up their players in order to be solid in the midfield area (Godoy and Mc Carty) having also a great anchor man in defence (Zimmerman from LAFC). In their offensive line they picked up two players with great potential -Accam and Hany Mukhtar- so it is expected that they will be also dangerous in offensive transition. The fact that after some trades Nashville got 3 out of the first 13 picks of the Superdraft let them with the hope that they will create also a core of young players like Maher, the Indiana defender that they picked with the second overall pick.

Target

Become a playoff contender. We couldn't demand from a team to qualify into the playoffs in their inaugural season but it seems that Nashville won't have the fate of Cincinnati so we can expect them to be more solid and efficient giving them the chance to be at least a playoff contender in the West even if at the end they will watch playoff stage from home
