With unlimited transfers this season, match ups are more important than ever. The question is how to evaluate match ups, especially if you’re only an aspiring Armchair Analyst and not yet the real thing. The answer? Expected Goals (xG). What are expected goals (xG) The idea behind xG is simple. Every shot is awarded a probability of scoring based on the …

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 …

-GK-Saunders-NYCFC-5.4 Mil @ 3.4% Ownership Tough Schedule, but NYCFC is in the top 5 for least goals scored against on the road this season. -DEF-SKC Defense I personally have Ellis, but I think any SKC defender will be a great shout.

-DEF- Angelino-NYCFC-5.0Mil @ 1.0% Ownership I didnt list him last week because I was selfish and it panned out for me 🙂 So this week, here he is! Great attacking fullback with a HUGE amount of potential! -DEF-Ashe-OCSC-6.1Mil @ 1.6% Ownership 2 Assists last week against CLB, and playing away at Tor and Home against Phi looks pretty tasty to …

The MLS Fantasy Manager game has finally opened and now it’s time to get down to the business of picking players. I’ll kick things off with my 2015 early keeper picks and then work my way through the other positions. I’ve already made a few recommendations in my Preseason Picks article at MLSsoccer.com, so this article will cover others and go into a …

It’s been a while eah? Sorry for not posting one of these sooner, it’s down to just me at KFC and with starting a new job recently, I’ve not had quite as much time as before. But you all did not come here to read some sob story did you? Let’s get on to the good stuff. There are two …

If you decided to go defender heavy last week, you should have ended with a good result if you took some of our advice.

This week, …

*Breaking News* If you have not heard, the game for Montreal v Columbus has been postponed until Sunday the 14th. This is good news for all of you, including KFC, who own Higuain and are waiting to hear about his starting status. Week 6 summary Oof, what a rough week. Fantasy MLS can be harsh some times, but this is …

If you’re like me, deciding on your captain can be one of the hardest decisions of the week. Especially since everyone’s favorite go-to captain, Zusi, will not be playing this week.
