Formations & Tactics
In-depth analysis of D.C. United's on-field form
Opposition 11: Toronto FC projected lineup
The Reds are missing plenty of players through injury, yet can still put a playoff-worthy team on the field tonight
Opposition 11: Sounders projected lineup
A perfect storm of injuries, age, and poor form has hit Seattle, though Nicolas Lodeiro’s return could be a huge boost
Opposition 11: North Carolina FC projected lineup
United’s Open Cup path starts against a team that isn’t quite satisfied with their start to the USL season
Opposition 11: LAFC projected lineup
LAFC’s defense and midfield are good enough, but it’s their attack that should really worry United today
Opposition 11: San Jose Earthquakes projected lineup
Facing their third game in a week, the Quakes’ starting 11 for tomorrow is a tough one to call
Opposition 11: Real Salt Lake projected lineup
RSL’s defense looks vulnerable, but their attack could give United fits
Opposition 11: Philadelphia Union projected lineup
2018 hasn’t gone well for Philly, but the Union always seem to bring their "A" game against United
Opposition 11: Columbus Crew projected lineup
United will see an improved version of the Crew this time around thanks to the return of Wil Trapp
Opposition 11: Sporting KC projected lineup
Kansas City’s new-look attack is working well enough these days to bail out a weirdly malfunctioning defense
Opposition 11: Columbus Crew projected lineup
Even without Wil Trapp and Zack Steffen, the Crew are an imposing foe for the Black-and-Red
Opposition 11: Houston Dynamo projected lineup
Finding a way to contain Alberth Elis appears to be a big key to solving the Dynamo
Opposition 11: Atlanta United projected lineup
It turns out you do actually need a defensive midfielder
The Last Word: D.C. United’s yin and yang nature is costly in Orlando draw
We have a lot to work through after seeing two sides to the Black-and-Red
Opposition 11: Orlando City projected lineup
United starts the season off against a Lions side that’ll have to do without some big names
Opposition 11: Orlando City projected lineup
Despite plenty of talent, the pieces haven’t fit together for the Lions this season
Opposition 11: Projected New England starting lineup
Injuries and tinkering mean the Revs are in flux heading into this one
Projected D.C. United lineup to face New England
The last new signing will get his debut
Opposition 11: Atlanta projected lineup to face D.C. United
Despite a long break between games, don’t expect to see much in the way of change for Tata Martino’s side
Opposition 11: Rapids projected lineup to face D.C. United
With Pablo Mastroeni no longer in charge, we’re not sure what to expect from the Rapids
Opposition 11: Projected Minnesota United lineup
The Loons have more injuries right now than just about anyone in MLS
Opposition 11: Projected Seattle Sounders lineup
The Sounders are missing some major players, but their history against United is still daunting
Opposition 11: Projected FC Dallas lineup
Expect some major rotation for a Dallas team that is as deep as anyone in MLS
Opposition 11: Projected Montreal Impact lineup
Without Ignacio Piatti, where will IMFC turn for goals?
Opposition 11: Probable New England Revolution USOC lineup
Injuries and call-ups will make it very difficult for the Revs to put 18 players in uniform
D.C. United, Atlanta, and why pressure is MLS’s defining tactic
The Last Word dispels the idea that either team scored a fluky goal by dissecting the first two goals from Wednesday night
Opposition 11: Probable Atlanta United starting lineup
ATL brings a ton of attacking talent, but they’ve also got some defensive weaknesses
Opposition 11: Probable Toronto FC starting lineup
TFC is the best team in MLS right now, and United will probably be facing their best possible eleven
Opposition 11: Probable LA Galaxy starting lineup
Giovani Dos Santos and the LA Galaxy are in form, but injuries will see them at less than full strength tomorrow
Opposition 11: Likely Orlando City starting lineup
Kaka is out for the Lions, who may have to rotate after playing on Saturday
Opposition 11: Likely Vancouver Whitecaps starting 11
A suspension may lead to a midfield reshuffle for Carl Robinson
The Last Word: D.C. United’s latest loss was different, yet also more of the same
We were literally at a loss Saturday, and are figuratively at a loss today as the Black-and-Red’s struggles continue
Opposition 11: Likely Chicago Fire lineup
The Fire are on a roll, but fixture congestion might force them to test some unimpressive depth in the back
