There’s a lot to consider when making your transfers for the week – current fixture, price, double game weeks, injuries, lineup rotation… Every week there are a couple players who rise to the top of the transfer list. I decided to look into these players to see how they performed compared to others in single game weeks. Note: this analysis …

Opening weekend challenge is just around the corner. This will be the first post in a 4-post series where we look at each position to try to find value players who are priced less than what last year’s production says they should be priced. Points Per Start Veterans of my Stats Summary articles will know that I’ve long been a …

Fantasy MLS is all about finding the right combination of players to maximize your points while navigating the budget constraints. This post will look at finding value forwards.

Im back from vacation and ready to finish the year strong!!! -GK-I dont see any possible CS this week, so I wont advise on a GK -DEF-Scott-SEA-6.7 Mil @ 0.8% Ownership Scott has had 11/18 CBIS in the last 2 games. They do play LA, but are at home, and could rack up the CBI’s/Def bonus against LA. -MID-Valeri-PDX-10.6 Mil …

-GK-Kwarasey-PDX-5.9 Mil @ 2.6% Ownership PDX has had B2B CS, and Kwarasey is tied/leads the league with 10 CS. The next 2 games look to be in favor of PDX (rsl/HOU) RSL playing Midweek USOC(throwing a B team in MLS games) and a Hou team that hasn’t impressed. -DEF-Francis-SJ-5.3 Mil @ 1.2% Ownership Francis has amassed 12 pts in 2 …

-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 …

Last month I posted some stats from the 2013 MLS season. Since then, I’ve done a little more work and I’m ready to talk what we can learn from this data. Specifically, I took a look to see which stats were most related to a player’s final total score. The idea was that by identifying the stats that contribute the most …
