Offseason Questions: Is it time to start replacing the veterans?

Columbus Crew SC has a reasonably young roster, with players averaging 25.9 years old during the 2018 season. But like any other team, the Black & Gold relies on some veterans to lead their teammates on and off the field. Some of these players have been with the club for some time now, but, despite their professionalism and work rate, Father Time is still undefeated.

When the 2019 season starts, midfielder Federico Higuain will be 34, fullback Harrison Afful will be 32 and center back Josh Williams will be one month away from turning 31.
