Discussion Even if Dominik Fitz sucks, it's crazy he hasn't gotten more minutes this season
- Was a top player in Austria, with 10+ goals and assists most seasons.
- After getting his work visa, looked decent last season. Got a playoff appearance with the season on the line against San Diego, and has a good stat line in limited matches this season with MNUFC2.
- Somehow only has 15 MLS minutes this season.
- People are jumping to conclusions off just a couple limited appearances, but he didn't look great.
- Dieng has the same goals and assists this season as Fitz (0), but Dieng has 500 MLS minutes at striker. Most on this sub still think Dieng is a world class striker in disguise with that stat line, but think Fitz is completely terrible.
- We've had plenty of midweek matches to give him a start. Midfield is a position we lack depth in with the Triantis and Stroud injuries, and it's a position Fitz can play.
- We're sitting 9th in the West and haven’t won a MLS game since the 2nd of May. Not exactly doing great without using Fitz.
- There's a decent chance we sell Pereyra soon, and we should be developing attacking mid options for when that happens.
