Get your pencils and notebooks out because it is time to get wiser about soccer together! Bobby Warshaw (Bloom Sports) takes David & Matt through the exercise of planning a winning MLS roster. He asks them the same questions he asks some of the biggest clubs CSO's. Listen to the debate and conversation. And you can answer the questions yourself about the club you would build. See the questions below and send the hosts your thoughts on Bluesky or in the Discord!

1. What are your objectives for the next 1-3-5 years? How are we measuring our targets?
2. What’s your thesis on why you will be successful? In 1-2 sentences, tell me why you’ll beat out the 29 other people trying to do the same thing as you?
3. What are your Roster Pillars? What are the ~5 things that you need to achieve with your squad to be successful in MLS? (They do not need to be the same for every team.)
4. What are the categories of players within your roster? How are you defining and measuring them?
