We’ve reached halftime of the FNWSL season! It’s time to prepare for the second half of the season – and time to start thinking about the World Cup break and how that will affect your team over the next couple of months. All World Cup players will miss Rounds 14 and 15, with some players potentially missing Round 16 (or beyond) depending on how far their national team advances in the competition.
Round 12 kicks off Saturday afternoon in San Diego with what I like to call the SoCalisico, and will conclude Sunday evening with two night games in Kansas City and Chicago.
Today, I’m doing a redo of the season preview article and thinking through how I would build a team from scratch for the second half of the season. I’m doing this with the World Cup partially in mind, though not all of the rosters have been announced. Over the next couple of weeks, we will cover how to address the World Cup break in FNWSL, but for now, here’s who I want on my team for the second half!
