He's a top talent and has been called into US Soccer Talent ID Center trainings in the past. He is quick, skillful, and tenacious. He is an active two-way player and does well in the press. His contributions in the attack and skill on the ball is what has drawn the attention of scouts. He is a catalyst for the Fusion MLS Next side from the attacking midfield role. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["270282"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67167e376b0ef"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><br>Dabbay is a winger on the LA Soccer Club MLS Next 2010 team. I've seen him play on right wing, but it looks like he is left footed. He is a clever player who plays off the shoulder of the defender and has the pace to get behind the defense. He is good 1v1 with his ability to cut inside and finish. Dabbay has been one of the top attackers in MLS Next at the start of the season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["270286"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67167e376b130"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><br>Kulkarni is part of the talented and dynamic Strikers attack. I don't believe he has been called into a US Soccer Talent ID event in the past, but his play at the start of this season suggest he should be on the list to be the next player called up to that event. Kulkarni was part of the id2 National Boys Roster last season. He was one of six players from California to make that team. There is a lot to like about his game. He is a powerful runner who is difficult to contain on the wing. He wears down defenders with relentless attack. He makes good decisions in the final third and he is an efficient finisher. Kulkani has been a regular scorer throughout the MLS Next campaign with nearly a goal in every game. He previously played for Pateadores and Laguna United. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["270287"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67167e376b16d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><br>Biondolillo is one of the best defenders in California, but he is a bit off the radar. He is a 2010 and plays up on a 2009 Laguna United Elite Academy team. He is also getting regular playing time with the Laguna United UPSL squad. He is an exceptional 1v1 defender. He primarily plays right back. He has done well against older competition in those games. He is smart about his positioning and relies on that intelligence to impact the game from that role. Biodolillo was also part of the id2 National Boys Roster last season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["270297"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67167e376b1aa"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><br>Craw is a new addition to the Lamorinda squad for this season. He was previously a standout at the ECNL level. Watching game film from this season, it's easy to see why he will be a star at the MLS Next level. Great first touch, good vision, and always scanning the field for the next pass. Craw is a goalkeeper at the futsal level, which seems strange considering his on-field skill but it's made him into a well-rounded player who sees the game well and competes hard all over the pitch. Craw is a top prospect to watch among the new additions at the MLS Next level. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
