Toronto had a lot of momentum going into he 2018 season. They broke the singe season points record, won all of the league and domestic trophies, and were one of the favorites for CCL success. And then they suffered a string of injuries that haunted them through all competitions and prevented them from returning to the MLS Cup playoffs. It …

Ibrahimovic, Rooney, Schweinsteiger are all names you know. These names can be tempting for the ridiculous expectations their names entail (Ibra did give us 21 goals & 10 assists in 2018 after all). As we enter MLS 3.0 though, the more common names coming to MLS are lesser known to the average MLS fan, but potentially more valuable to the …

They won the wooden spoon, and were pretty much targeted by fantasy players as the team to bet against if you wanted easy points. Outside of Wondo’s chase for the MLS goal record, there’s not much that went well in 2018. And to be honest, 2019 isn’t looking much better.   Tactics & Key Players Matias Almeyda won the CCL …

I remember what it was like during my first MLS Fantasy season. I had no idea who anybody was, how the game worked, or what to expect from any team. So back in 2015 I decided that new MLS Fantasy fans needed something else to help them navigate the fantasy game. I felt a resource was needed that could give …

Michael Jordan once said, during an old Air Jordan commercial: “What is love? Love is playing every game as if it’s your last”. Now perhaps it’s bad form to talk about a Chicago legend in an article about Columbus, but I think this quote sums up the 2018 Crew season. For almost the entire season, every story about the Crew …

One of 2018’s biggest hyped teams, it was a total disaster. Sasha Kljestan looked a shadow of what he was in Jersey. Their defense conceded the league worst 72, and their offense scored only 43 for the 2nd-worst in the league. While there was promise in Yoshi Yotun, he’s now left, and their new signings aren’t particularly inspiring outside of …

The New York Red Bulls enjoyed another very successful campaign in 2018, which featured their third Supporters Shield in six seasons and semi-finals appearances in two major cup competitions. The Red Bulls came into the year with a bit of transfer window drama, as their pursuit of midfielder Alejandro Romero Gamarra became an extremely public affair. Dubbed ‘#Kakuwatch’, they ultimately signed Kaku …

Reid is joined by Mike, Blayne, and Jason to talk about the Eastern Conference and interview Ben Baer about the 2019 game. The show starts out with Ben’s interview where he lets us know a little bit about what happens behind the fantasy doors and highlights the 2 main minor changes for the 2019 game. After that, sit back and …

The Montreal Impact head in to 2019 knowing this is Ignacio Piatti’s last season with the club and last chance to win it all with the man that has given his best years to them. The pressure is surely on and the club has made several key moves to boost the squad. Defense still remains a question for, what is widely …

Won MLS Cup and demolished everyone they played in the playoffs, with Tata Martino throwing everyone a curveball by playing more defensive. Neither New York team could handle it, with poor Portland being hopelessly outmatched. While they did well to resign MLS MVP Josef Martinez to a new deal, they lost Martino and probably their best player in Almiron to …
