Week 10 Recap Week 10 was the best week for the Behind the Numbers team in their history. The team posted a 114 which was good enough for week rank 65 and propelled the team up to 235th overall. Not bad considering we were ranked 694th overall just 3 rounds ago. The team also had a healthy +$3M up to …

Week 9 Recap The surge back to respectability for the Behind the Numbers team continued in Week 9 with a respectable 128. This brought the total score to 840 on the season and cracked the top 400 at OR 392. Magically/Disappointingly, the team value treaded water at a +0 keeping the TV at $121.8. A last-second pivot away from Metairie …

MLS Injury News: Gameweek 8 Injuries can have a big impact on a fantasy lineup. Not only can they impact your score by providing under the radar options, but replacements often come in at a lower price point and can make it easier to field a full roster.

Week 8 Recap FINALLY. A good week for the Behind the Numbers team. A week like the days of old when we were in the top 100 just the top 500. A score of 133 was good enough to catapult the Behind the Numbers team into OR 456 and a health $4.0 price rise up to a budget of $121.8. …

Week 7 Recap The Behind the Numbers team continues to more or less tread water here at the beginning of the season. The Behind the numbers team put a respectable, but unremarkable 107 points in round 7. I didn’t have the right DC or MTL defenders which ended up really hurting as well as my irrational love of Victor Rodriguez …

Week 6 Recap Week 6 could have been better, could have been worse. In summary, never trust my Captain choices. The BTN team scored 77 with a 2 point contribution from Captain Valeri. In summary, POR is bad and should be avoided until they get home. The Behind the Numbers team slipped to 682 overall, with 472 points. That’s 100 …

With only 90 points on the round, the Behind the Numbers team fell to OR 649. Nothing really went particularly wrong, but Loderio over Vela captain …

Week 4 Recap Week 4 continued a string of decidedly meh games for the BTN team. Just haven’t quite been able to get a complete grasp on 2019. Something feels different and we don’t quite have the data yet tell what that could be. The BTN salvaged a 54 on the week. It was Keeperoo, autoroo apocalypse this week with …

Week 3 Recap Week 3 had a bit of bad luck and a bit of trying to be too smart for the Behind the Numbers Team. The team scored a fairly pitiful 78 points putting us at 251 on the season, dropping to OR 369. If you’re a newer player and you scored in that ballpark, you’re doing great! If …

Week 2 Recap Week 2 was definitely a step in the right direction for the Behind the Number team, with some gut calls going right. Choosing Vela over Martinez was risky, but paid off. Watching lineups on Saturday made the Pomykal value dream a reality. Not to mention Barath coming through in a big spot for killer value. The BTN …
