Dex Ponce: $40 Million and a Ghost
Atlanta United just dropped $40M on DP strikers in 18 months. The three-game win streak saving their season didn't need either of them.
El Despertar
Three weeks ago, Atlanta United sat dead last in the Eastern Conference with 12 points from 18 matches. Now they've won three straight, Miguel Almiron is the club's all-time leading assister, and an $18 million Swiss international chose Mercedes-Benz Stadium over the Premier League.
Tres

Los Destellos
A midfielder with two goals in 81 appearances just scored in his third consecutive match -- the ninth player in Atlanta United history to reach that streak, and the last one anyone expected.
