Four teams remain in the Audi MLS Cup Playoffs, leaving 25 watching from the sidelines and planning for the season. If you're looking for a deeper dive on every club, Matt Doyle has his annual post-mortem series. We'll see if suitors return to the table. The question follows Bogusz scoring 20 goals in 48 matches all competitions this season, providing a springboard for Poland national team call-ups.
Meanwhile, Olivera scored 14 times in 35 matches all competitions and is a consistent part of Uruguay's World Cup qualifying squad.

And, to state the obvious, it's not great. That creates priority No. Austin aren't broken, far from it. Brad Stuver is a top goalkeeper in MLS. Owen Wolff and Dani Pereira have bright futures. Mikkel Desler and Oleksandr Svatok were solid summer signings.
