[Columbus Crew 2025 MLS season previewWe’re taking you through Columbus’ offseason action, hopes, fears, tactics & much more.![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/22/3c/223ce17d-3253-4d03-873b-ce236408cde2/content/images/icon/Backheeled-2-Sq-Light-127.png)BackheeledJoseph Lowery![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/22/3c/223ce17d-3253-4d03-873b-ce236408cde2/content/images/thumbnail/columbus.jpg)](https://www.backheeled.com/columbus-crew-2025-mls-season-preview-transfers-tactics-stars-predictions/)

*Can the Crew retain their status as one of the league's top teams, even with Cucho's recent move to La Liga? Wilfried Nancy's time in Montreal could provide answers to that question.*

## FC Dallas

*Dallas caught themselves a big fish when Lucho Acosta arrived via a cash trade with FC Cincinnati. But are the pieces around Lucho strong enough for this team to compete?*

## DC United

*With just one Designated Player actually on the roster, DC United are hoping that a goalkeeping refresh and even more direct attacking play can fuel a successful 2025.*

## Houston Dynamo

[Houston Dynamo 2025 MLS season previewWe’re taking you through Houston’s offseason action, hopes, fears, tactics & much more.![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/22/3c/223ce17d-3253-4d03-873b-ce236408cde2/content/images/icon/Backheeled-2-Sq-Light-130.png)BackheeledJoseph Lowery![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/22/3c/223ce17d-3253-4d03-873b-ce236408cde2/content/images/thumbnail/houston.jpg)](https://www.backheeled.com/houston-dynamo-2025-mls-season-preview-transfers-tactics-stars-predictions/)

*Few teams in MLS use the ball quite like the Dynamo. But without an elite playmaker in the final third? So much of their possession ends up wasted. That needs to change in 2025.*

## Sporting Kansas City 

[Sporting Kansas City 2025 MLS season previewWe’re taking you through Kansas City’s offseason action, hopes, fears, tactics & much more.![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/22/3c/223ce17d-3253-4d03-873b-ce236408cde2/content/images/icon/Backheeled-2-Sq-Light-131.png)BackheeledJoseph Lowery![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/22/3c/223ce17d-3253-4d03-873b-ce236408cde2/content/images/thumbnail/kansas-city.jpg)](https://www.backheeled.com/sporting-kansas-city-2025-mls-season-preview-transfers-tactics-stars-predictions/)

*With two new DPs in the door, SKC's multi-window rebuild has begun quicker than expected. Can those new pieces help Kansas City become a legitimate threat out West?*

## LA Galaxy

[LA Galaxy 2025 MLS season previewWe’re taking you through the Galaxy’s offseason action, hopes, fears, tactics & much more.![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/22/3c/223ce17d-3253-4d03-873b-ce236408cde2/content/images/icon/Backheeled-2-Sq-Light-132.png)BackheeledJoseph Lowery![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/22/3c/223ce17d-3253-4d03-873b-ce236408cde2/content/images/thumbnail/galaxy.jpg)](https://www.backheeled.com/la-galaxy-2025-mls-season-preview-transfers-tactics-stars-predictions/)

*After Riqui Puig’s injury, Dejan Joveljic's exit, and a major midfield shift, will the Galaxy have enough firepower to repeat as MLS Cup champions?*
