Description

From the outset of San Diego FC's season, hope was laid at the feet (and head) of Scandinavian sharpshooter Marcus Ingvartsen. But with him sidelined, the team has had to find alternatives at the number nine position. And with 54 goals so far — tied for the most in MLS this season — it’s clear those alternatives are working.

In this episode, Adrian García-Márquez, Katia Castorena, and Darren Smith break down the options Mikey Varas has turned to in attack — from Tommy Ángel to Alex Mighten to Onni Valakari, scorer of the club’s first-ever goal at Snapdragon. The question: no striker, no problem?

We hear from Sporting Director Tyler Heaps on the blueprint that shaped this squad, and sit down with MVP-elect Anders Dreyer to talk style, culture, and his growing bond with Hirving “Chucky” Lozano. Plus, we revisit that win at BMO and, with ten SDFC players called up for international duty, look ahead to the playoff push and the long-term future of the attack.
