Like the U17s, the FC Dallas U15 Academy team is taking part in the Generation adidas Cup instead of Dallas Cup.
Again, I don’t have an official roster for the GA Cup, so I’ll list the players I have who could be eligible and if I get the official roster I will come back make an edit.
This one will be much shorter than the U17s though, as the U15s is just a single year: 2007.
FC Dallas Academy U15s
Coach: Alex Aldaz
Bracket Unknown: But paired against Real Salt lake, Club Tijuana, and FC Cincinnati.
U15s is the first single-year team although they do sometimes have a single 2008 that plays up with them.
Who to Watch
Cayne Madhlangove – Outstanding right back, he draws attention and can get under the skin. Good range and gets forward to create a log of danger. I really like this player.
Jeyden Arboleda – Game to game the top influencer when I’ve scouted this team. The game changes when he comes in. Plays as an attacking mid or false 9 that I’ve seen. Undersized but terrific on the ball.
Michael Cortellessa – Ryan Hollingshead 2.0. A US U15 who can play pretty much anywhere on the field at a high level. High IQ player.
Bryce Outman – Phenomenal talent, but very tiny… and it’s doesn’t even matter. Terrific on the ball can wing, play attacking mids, or false-9.
Brice Miller – 2007, early maturer, scored bags of goals. The field is starting to catch up but still an excellent player used in multiple spots.
Zach Molomo – 2008, High striker. The one player who sometimes plays up as he has the size to compete in this age bracket. Big upside striker.
