Michael Corleone stated in the Godfather II that he was taught that one should “keep your friends close… but your enemies closer.” Therefore, it is only fitting that a New York Red Bulls fan write the DC United 2019 fantasy preview. 2018 was a tale of two seasons for DC: Pre-Rooney and Post-Rooney. The club languished near the bottom of …

Real Salt Lake reinvented themselves a bit in 2018 and had their first good season since the Jason Kreis era.
