LAFC loaded with 2028 talent

As we get more familiar with the 2028 class, we can analyze the talent at a more thorough level. And one thing is clear... LAFC has some excellent 2028 graduates at the club. Some play for the 2010 team and others play up on the 2009 team. Here are six of them that really stand out and will find themselves in the first 2028 class rankings.    Acevado operates the attack like a maestro. She picks the right pass, delivers a clean ball and then continues her run forward. She finds space where she can be a threat, and has the ability to finish. She's also excellent about turning defenders, traveling into space and operating with the ball at her feet.     Bradbury is a wizard with the ball at her feet, as she can take defenders on or make some of the crisper, accurate passes you will see. She is a great runner in the midfield, making well-timed forward pushes and she is very determined to get on the end of a ball when it is played into her space. She has fantastic finishing skills.     A fast player with incredible acceleration, Haness is a matchup nightmare for defenders. Just when a defender thinks they can keep up with her, she kicks into high gear. She's incredibly technical and shows great skill on the ball. She is a hard worker who shows the ability to contribute all over the pitch, but where she is really special is in her ability to finish.

She also has the ability to possess and to help launch an attack. She is very fast and agile as she can show straight line speed or stop and start.     Nelson is a versatile player who can play as a No. 10 or at a forward spot. She has a nose for getting on the ball, and shows good technical skills and ability to make plays. She's a clinical finisher as she understands how to strike the ball, whether to finish with pace and power or slot the ball home. She demonstrates great instincts.     Piper is a forward that can play as either a No. 7 or a No. 11. She can use either foot, but she is particularly dangerous with her powerful left foot. Because she can use either foot, she can cut back to either foot from either side, or let the ball take her out wide and deliver a cross. She makes good runs, has <a href="https://prepsoccer.com/2025/10/2028-girls-goalkeepers-seven-rising-talents/?itm_campaign=wp-parsely&itm_medium=smart-link&itm_term=03e86f1f859390e17f18eb6b18021638&itm_source=traffic-boost" data-smartlink="03e86f1f859390e17f18eb6b18021638" title="LAFC loaded with 2028 talent">good speed</a> and shows good timing.
