6. Houston Dash

Strength: Best Attacking Line in the League

The Dash caused everyone to shake in their boots a little bit when they acquired Ordonez from the Courage, and for good reason. The combined power of Sanchez, Salmon, and Ordonez has been exceptional, creating chances and finding space behind defenses all over the league. They’ve put several chances in the back of the net, and the more time they spend together the more powerful they’ll become.

Weakness: Passing Connections

Much like Gotham, Houston feels like they’re just missing that extra pass, that finishing touch to their dangerous attack. This team needs some more time to build together and really nail down finding that space between their defensive line and midfield and forward. Each of their individual lines work really well and connecting them will be the key to their success moving forward.
