FC Dallas enters 2026 with significant roster turnover.
Key departures: Lost 3 starters from 2025. Key additions: New DP signing fills creative midfielder gap. Two international signings for back line depth.
Tactical shift: 4-3-3 to 3-5-2 in preseason. Maximizes wingback talent from the academy pipeline.
Prediction: Mid-table finish with strong second half. Playoff contention realistic if the DP performs.
