Detroit City FC beat Atlanta United 2 3-1 over the weekend. Fletcher has the highlights and something he's watching for.

As the team embraces a much-needed bye week, we answer your listener questions about the club this year.

• What position would an upgrade best help the men's team for the 2nd half?
• If Fletcher Sharpe was GM, do you have any specific players you'd want us to go get?
• How are we going to hold on to Trevor James, Rhys, and some of the other top players in the off-season?
• Devin Amoo-Mensah has been a very quiet MVP for this team. Who has surprised you on the team so far this year?
• With such a small bench, where do we end up in the standings if we make no signings?
• The last MLS question will we answer for a long time, though a few asked a version, and we're keeping it to just one question: We're doing great in USL, why aren't we pushing harder for MLS? (Go talk to long timers / SG for the important culture stuff, but there's a lot of soccer reasons, too)
• What is keeping the attendance at the women's game so much lower than the men's? What can the team do to improve women's matches attendance?
