My Take
Walker Zimmerman is the player I would build a backline around. Center-back is a thankless job, you only get noticed when something goes wrong, but at 190 cm he reads the game and throws himself into challenges with a quiet reliability that earns trust. From Lawrenceville, Georgia, through two seasons at Furman, he took the unglamorous route and made it pay off for both Major League Soccer and the United States national team. I value defenders who let the flashy attackers shine by doing the dirty work, and Zimmerman has clearly grown into a leader. He is easy to root for.
