San Diego Wave FC sit fifth in the NWSL with an 11-3-7 record, but the real story is the internal competition for starting spots. In this episode, we break down the most important roster battles, including the goalkeeper duel featuring DiDi Haracic and the attacking struggles of Ludmila, who took six shots against Houston without scoring. We also analyze Kennedy Wesley's midfield dominance and the center-back partnership choices.

The episode covers the depth at goalkeeper, the wide position battles, and the tactical decisions facing the coaching staff. We discuss how Ludmila's work rate keeps her in the lineup despite the lack of goals, and how Kennedy Wesley's 98 accurate passes make her indispensable. We also touch on the defensive partnerships and the bench players pushing for minutes.

Finally, we predict who's trending up and down as the playoffs approach, and what roster cuts might be coming. With the Wave's deep squad, the competition is fierce, and that could be the key to a deep playoff run. Tune in for all the analysis and our predictions for the rest of the season.

In this episode: Goalkeeper and Attack Battles · Midfield, Defense, and Width · Trending Up/Down and Roster Cuts.
