To those with Besler and Taylor peay on the bench... Those dudes will probably never play an MLS game. They are good prospects but they probably won't see the field this year. So just sayin.
Under the new fantasy rules, players don't lose value if they don't play. So it may be safer to go with guys like that than those who play over 45 minutes and don't score enough points to keep their value. Last year prices changed based on people adding/dropping players, so it was completely different. I haven't really thought out the implications completely, and as of now I'm still picking players who have a chance to play for my own bench, because not doing so just seems odd...

Didn't know that. Regardless, picking players who won't ever potentially see the field still seems odd. Honestly, I don't know if some of my players are that type. I was salary restrained.
Also, ActStriker. You have players on your bench that are better than your field players. What?

Wait, I thought MLS Live was supposed to be done away with this year and all games were going to be on Watch ESPN or FoxSporstGo? Wwwhhhhaaaa??.?

...3 Brazilians in the LA Galaxy starting XI when they won the last MLS Cup.
I read recently that the average wage for players in Brazil is 3 times higher than for players in Argentina. That's probably the main reason there are so many Argentines in MLS compared to the number of Brazilians.
^ Brazil is one of the BRICs (the B), whereas Argentina's economy is in shambles.

Well then support your local club, DUH.
I've supported Liverpool for many years, but there's no fucking way I'm going to support Gerrard when I see him wearing an LA Galaxy jersey. Having a local club and a local supporters group to be a part of is fucking awesome, and you should support them. It helps that they don't suck.
This, I'm a Revs/Liverpool supporter. I won't boo Gerrard when he comes to Gillette but I will definitely ironically cheer whenever his Hollywood balls go out of play. That'll learn him
Revs man. The whole point of MLS is so we can enjoy our soccer up close and personal.
Tell that to all the LA Galaxy fans in Michigan!

Support your local.
Quakes in at #19 on both of these. Good point in the MLSSoccer rankings, too:
The Quakes were awful last year, but we'll have to see how much of a bump they're going to get from a new coach and, more importantly, a new stadium. If they can remain (relatively) injury free, that'd be a big help, also.
victory goes a long way lol. What will that look like in a couple years with Atlanta and Orlando in the mix? or with LA FC?

I feel good about being lower in the power rankings. Last year at the start of the season we were too high, and well, we all know what happened last year.
I feel good about our depth too, so the next few months without Valeri and Johnson might be a non-issue. Last year our problem was our defense, not our offense and we fixed that. So as long as we don't have another horribly slow start, I feel very good about this team. At the end of last year we were in incredible form and we kept the core of the team stable. Johnson is back in a little over a month, Valeri in a little over two... we'll be okay. Hopefully Nagbe steps up and shows everyone how godlike he can be.
*in Foxborough. Would love if that stadium gets built in the City

I've never heard of the Tijuana team and the San Antonio Scorpions. Are they minor league?

I was just looking at that map up above and thinking about what it'll look like in a year or two with Orlando around now eating into SE Galaxy turf and maybe if they don't do as well this year (+ no more Landon or Beckham anymore).
I wonder if Minneapolis got a team how much of that Sounders/Galaxy/Fire turf would get eaten up.
Closer to you than my MLS team of choice (SKC).
Either way Revs are a good team man, fun to watch and they made it to the playoff final. enjoy

I'm wed to TFC, sadly. Because they were the first Canadian team in the MLS, and because I'm from that part of the country.
Though now I'm geographically closer to Seattle and Vancouver.
What about when he slips at an extremely inopportune moment?

See, if Red Bull did something like this I wouldn't bitch so much.
But nah, we get three stripes on the inside collar.
I think 19th is low, they should be... 17th or 18th.
2015 Playoff and MLS Cup Picks
Only two people have the Quakes making the playoffs and one of them is Simon Borg.
Looks like pretty much everyone has NYRB outperforming NYCFC.
I'd hope a team that was a goal away from the Final is better than an expansion team's first season.
