@thr3esticks @mls_nightowl @_FutboIOscar They didn't. It was before the beginning of the season. But it's so not good that we're still talking about it halfway through the season.

@LineupIQ @mls_nightowl @_FutboIOscar Purely rhetorical but WTAF would you change a vendor in the middle of a season? ffs. #headsneedtoroll

Finally some engagement from this account but yet another glitch with the game. As if the CS issues and Facebook log-in problems weren't enough.

@mls_nightowl @_FutboIOscar Yeah, since MLS has a hard time making money on MLS Fantasy, it's held a low priority for them even since I started playing in 2017. But unfortunately, the people who "run" it have very little control over how much they can do. It's the MLS higher-ups who are to blame IMO.

@LineupIQ @_FutboIOscar Good point - that certainly hasn't helped. But overall, the approach/attitude towards the game, from the people who run it, is letting down the people who love playing it.

@mls_nightowl @_FutboIOscar The new data provider has not been a welcome change for the team analysts either. americansocceranalysis.com/home/2024/6/17…

@mls_nightowl @_FutboIOscar I don't know if this is the issue, but MLS got a new data provider and didn't really plan for how it would affect the fantasy game. That's why the scoring system changed, and this data provider has been causing issues all year for more than just the fantasy product.

@tommerdahl @MLSFantasyBoss @MLSFantasy @MLSFI MLS Fantasy Boss, despite the name, isn't in charge of the rules or affiliated with MLS in that way. The entirety of the MLS Fantasy community, including MLS Fantasy Boss and myself and so many others, were taken by complete surprise by this change.

🚨ATTENTION🚨 Ive seen a lot of chatter about Roldan losing his CS points after being subbed out but before SEA conceded. This IS a confirmed change from previous @MLSFantasy seasons and was mentioned during our Round 2 @MLSFI episode. Sorry ☹️

@troe66 @MLSFantasyBoss @tommerdahl @MLSFantasy @MLSFI MLS Fantasy Boss, despite the name, isn't in charge of the rules or affiliated with MLS in that way.

@MLSFantasyBoss @tommerdahl @MLSFantasy @MLSFI So fix it so that it actually comes with your scoring rules.

@SyzygyCity @MLSFantasy Someone in the @MLSFantasyBoss community can confirm, but I think that was yet another change that was made with the new points system and data provider. No more CS for defenders who sub out and subsequently have a goal scored against their team.

@MLSFantasy any idea where A. Roldán's clean sheet went?

@i80_Sports @tombogert Ooo, sounds like a fun question to ask @AnalysisEvolved. Where does Lodeiro rank on the list of most-fouled players in MLS?

@tombogert Lodeiro also had a ridiculous streak from 2017, 2018, and 2019 of taking the most fouls in MLS. He was #1 all three years because it was the only way you were stopping him. Come to think, he may be the most fouled MLSer of all time.

Seattle Sounders legend Nico Lodeiro: "I feel sad. Many years here with the club, in the city. I feel sad, first because we lost. I feel sad too because it was my last game in front of the beautiful fans and in this beautiful city. I’m really sad. But that’s life."

Idk what, exactly, Matt Miazga did on Saturday. But after watching soccer this weekend, and hearing Mikel Arteta & Vanni Sartini, and seeing subjective calls framed by fans as sinister plots against their team... who the hell would want to be a referee? sports.yahoo.com/soccer-has-a-r…

Wrapping up the #MLSFantasy Round 29 projections with the matchups rolled up by team. Good luck, everyone!

And now for the matchups... We have a bit of a funny double game week in that the only two teams with multiple games are CLT & MIA, both of which are against each other!

The last round of #MLSFantasy 2023 starts tomorrow! Get your lineup ready with some xG rankings and projections! patreon.com/posts/2023-rou…

@MLSGoneWild Uh... I'm only seeing 44%...

> 50% chance the MLS Cup is won by an Ohio team, the birthplace of soccer.

Projections for the last round of #MLSFantasy will be made available this evening!

@tombogert xkcd.com/1162/

@tombogert We're gonna have to change to a logarithmic axis on these charts when the next one drops, aren't we...

Toronto FC officially clinched the Wooden Spoon — lowest point total in the league. 22 points in 33 matches. Highest payroll in MLS as of the summer (Miami likely ahead now). Chart below as of May: - 4 of the top 5 spending teams missed playoffs - 5 of top 6 including MIA

@macles42 @MLSFantasy @FantasySocData

Going into the final @MLSFantasy round, looks like I’m going to be OR #2, 7 pts out from OR1, but 20 pts of OR3. And will be OR1 in the Champions league by 3 pts…gonna be a stressful couple weeks of lineup tinkering to come. Thanks @LineupIQ and @FantasySocData for the xG help.

Here are all the images from the post! Enjoy!
