Barf. They got it right with the black sleeves and the collars the first season. Going to White to please Gale was a mistake. And now this? How do you create an identity for a club, when you can't even stay consistent with the kit from season to season?

Carlos, Tomy, Hidalgo and 2 unnamed trialists appear to be competing for 2 remaining Valour FC roster spots.

Jacob Carlos (CPL U Sports Draft 2nd round pick) with 2 starts and a goal in the pre-season games does he become the favourite to land one of the remaining roster spots among the trialists?

that looks pretty close to what I'd expect the day 1 XI to look like. Add Akio into the mix when he's back from international duty

Hopefully Ohin is healthly for day 1 and Jean-Baptiste shortly thereafter.

Gutierrez, Mikhael out with a minor injuries?

AscanioPonce are getting short on time to be ready for the start of the season.

It’s Tomy and Hidalgo.  The other 2 trialists apparently left earlier in the week. 

With 21 on the current roster these 2 would complete the roster of 23.

I was definitely assuming that AJB won't be healthy by the season opener and that Ascanio/Ponce won't be comfortable enough to start yet. Ohin is 100% in that lineup if healthy.

 

Gutierrez being in the starting lineup is probably dependent on if he's deployed more as a wide midfielder or further back as a fullback. Think he has some pretty good competition with Pena.

Mikhael should firmly be behind Romeo and AJB on the depth chart, but this team could look really interesting with a 3 at the back formation and letting Gutierrez/Pena/Baquero slide a bit more forward as wingbacks.

 

Something like this could fit Valour well once all are healthy:

     Dyer       Akio        Rea

Pena    Ohin      Levis      Gutierrez

     Romeo    AJB     Mikhael

                  Sirois

A Valour FC starting lineup without Fordyce and Cebara.  That is something new!

"Meanwhile, the wait on paperwork and clearance continues for Colombian midfielder Daniel Ascanio, Chilean attacker Walter Ponce and a yet-to-be-announced third international player."

Yet-to-be-announced international would leave only 1 roster spot available.  Unless they can add short-term signing(s) to fill in until the internationals arrive.
