Analysis: Indy has gone the more traditional development direction than fellow expansion club Ottawa with only 18 players connected to the roster and only 1/3 them with a pro footballing pedigree. This doesn't mean there isn't some exciting additions, including former Manchester United and Brazilian international Jose Kleberson, Hondurans Walter Ramierez and Erick Norales, veteran keeper Kristian Nicht and forward Pedro Mendes, who I talked about in my list of overlooked players by the MLS. Depth will be the biggest issue for the club going into this season and are currently trialing a number of players who played at local universities.
2014 Prediction: 10th Place
