A huge part of fantasy is picking up a guy just as he’s about to get hot and before others get him, and dropping guys about to go cold. There’s a couple schools of thought about how you can spot these kinds of changes in form. The first question you have to find an answer to is “Did their situation …

I love getting toward the end of the season because we have so much more data to make better conclusions from. We’ve talked a lot about how players score more points at home than they do away – about 25% more. Naturally, there’s variation in the split for individual players. Here’s a table that shows the difference between home and …

Trying something a little different this week that should make bringing a larger volume of stats to you guys a lot easier for me. Here is a link to a series of Tableau graphs (for some reason embedding isn’t working for me and I’m too tired to figure it out right now) that show the average points per game conceded …

The mid-season unlimited free transfers window is here after Wednesday’s games kick off! We can finally blow up our teams and try to forget all the mistakes we made by buying some shiny new toys. We can own a maximum of 4 players from each team, so this week I’ll be throwing some stats at you for my top 4 …

If you’re reading the advice we give here on MLSFantasyBoss, you probably already know that it is good to pick players who take set pieces and PKs. The question is just how much does it account for? The below table looks at PP90 for specific positional roles. The equations I use are now able to pull out midfield set-piece takers …

There are eight teams with a bye this week. It’s here. The dreaded mass-bye week where we’ll be chopping off our limbs with a minus 4 hit to stop the greyscale. I’ve already had a couple people asking if it makes sense to take a hit this week. So, I’m just going to look at all kinds of situations and …

We’re deep enough into the season to where the results of the first couple weeks are getting close to any relevancy in helping us pick any players in a hot run of form. The following table shows us player form from week 5 onward. Giovinco still comes in first despite his double gameweek dud. Drogba and Dos Santos (GDS) come …

I’ve had several discussions with fantasy MLS managers that touch on the idea of consistency. There’s a lot of different ways that a player can be consistent – consistent starter, consistently getting 90 minutes, consistency in role/position, consistency in score, etc. This table contains every player who has played 45+ minutes at least 5 times this season. It then breaks …

This week we’ll examine how many average points per game each team concedes by position. There’s a lot of valuable information that we can glean by looking at points conceded – which teams to avoid playing against and which teams we want to target playing against for each position. You should be able to sort the table below to make …

The dreaded double game week rotation struck again in week 8. We all know that we can’t always count a DGW player by simply doubling their expected output because there’s a good chance they’ll get rested. About 30% of starters are rotated in a DGW. During a regular game week, it is about 12.5% of players who get rotated. So …
