When Mercedes Benz Stadium hosts the first Atlanta United FC home game next season, the MLS franchise will be in the early stages of building a team that the city of Atlanta will embrace.

As their debut begins to draw closer, it is a good time to speculate on what players may be representing the colors of the Atlanta franchise.
In January, goalkeeper Alexander Tambakis became the first player signed by Atlanta.
