Curious to hear some takes on this. Obviously, spend to the maximum, scout well, have a good coach/leadership, and replenish depth from an academy would be ideal. But most/all teams rarely are going to achieve all of that, or have the resources to do so. Putting on your best moneyball hat, what would your priorities on a budget be if you were the GM of an MLS team?
1. Top of the Roster? Spend on DPs?
2. Middle of the Roster? Hit on TAM guys?
3. Roster Depth? Try to be 3-deep at each position by focusing on quality Americans?
4. Academy?
5. Coaching?
Where's your focus, and what considerations are you willing to de-emphasize?
