Fantasy MLS 2015 Round 10 Review (Part 2)

DC United 1 vs. Sporting Kansas City 1 Highlights DC United managed a mere 2 shots on goal without Espindola, despite controlling 55% of possession. Sporting Kansas City’s goal came through Dom Dwyer on a great finish that surely boosted the goal scorer’s confidence. Feilhaber probably had one of his worst games all season, but still managed 4 points. The …

Fantasy MLS 2015 Round 10 Review (Part 1)

Houston Dynamo 0 vs. San Jose Earthquakes 1 Highlights It ended low scoring the way a lot of people expected it to go. Wondolowski seems to have become a non-factor and the only goal came off of a MPG free kick to a towering Adam Jahn who was only in the game because of Innocent’s absence.  The DGW wasn’t in …

Predictions and Power Rankings for Round 10

The following predictions are based on the ELO ranking system. This system was first used in Chess to calculate the skill level of players and predict the most likely winner. Since soccer can end in a draw, I’m using a modified version of this formula that tries to predict the chance that a team will come away from a match …

Vancouver Whitecaps 1 vs. DC United 2 Highlights I’m going to overlook the fact that Morales celebrated his goal as if he were a giddy schoolboy who ended up scoring a goal to win a World Cup, because that was just ridiculous. The rest of the game Morales was dangerous as usual and contributed to Vancouver’s dangerous attack. Soon after …

Chicago Fire 1 vs. New York City FC 0 Highlights NYC showed it’s at serious risk of turning its inaugural season into a catastrophe. The saga started with a Lampard controversy, transitioned into David Villa injuries and now has them sliding down to the bottom of the table.

Colorado Rapids 1 vs. Seattle Sounders 3   Highlights YESSS!! Finally the Sounders offense has returned!…… Sorry I’m a Sounders fan, but seriously, for some reason people can’t wrap their heads around the idea of Lamar Neagle being a dangerous scoring option. With Dempsey, Martins and Neagle all on the field at the same time, the Rapids didn’t stand a …

New York City FC 1 vs. Philadelphia Union 1 Highlights Not what anyone expected going into this. I didn’t foresee the guy, who skyed a beautiful lay off from Villa early in the game, scoring NYC’s only goal, nor the scoreless Sapong coming on for my main man Ayuk to score Philadelphia’s only goal. Villa and Hernandez’s injury put an …
