Rayados should bring in Zardes. Even he'd have finished 1 of these dozen chances that have fallen to Funes Janssen, albeit probably by accident.

apparently the whitecaps have only sold like 9k season tickets this year, lowest since they've been in mls


i'd be kinda worried the team might move if they weren't expanding by 8 every season

maybe it wasn't smart to sell alphonso davies for ~10m and replace him with like nothing idk

Should've just kept Davies and brought in Jonathan David and paid them each 8 million a year.

lost in all of the excitement of CCL is that mls starts it's season tomorrow.

crapids vs. now rooney-less dc united to kick things off.

wonder how many snow outs we'll get with the season starting a bit earlier now.

atl united vs. nashville is a fox game tomorrow night.

chichirito at houston probably the best matchup tomorrow.

Shitecraps and Crapids in action, who will be less crappy this year?

Chicharito and Nashville making their debut vs. ATL are the big stories imo. Nashville has already sold a ton of tickets.

I am flabbergasted at the Impact/Revs line. Revs can be had for +225. The Impact are super banged up and exhausted both emotionally and physically. I can't imagine they'll be too pumped for this one and there always seems to be a team or 2 that has the start of their season torched by CCL and I fear the Impact will be that team this year. The Revs were also a damn tough team once they got Bou last season.

I also really like ATL at +120. I suspect them coming off CCL has a lot to do with this, but Nashville's roster looks very unimpressive to me, basically just a ragtag collection of average MLS journeymen. They better hope this Mukhtar chap is MVP level, but even if he is I'd be surprised if they aren't bottom 2 in the West.

Thus the VAR GOAT in parentheses. All VAR decisions were correct and it's why VAR is more good than bad even if idiots in England cant use it correctly

Only USA guys are cowards who shy away from Europe. That would have been the worst possible outcome for the career/development of Davies. Obv money > getting better/prestige but that's why MLS can be so detrimental to player development

Dont know anything about the Revs but I like your logic.

Was just looking at lines before I came in here and happy to see the discussion. Arent the Rapids like one of the worst non-expansion teams and DC one of the favorites in the East? Why is DC + money to win at home against Colorado then?

Also leaning towards:
Houston +114 (Darwin GOAT)
ATL +112
NE +209
DC +114

I've posted the latest odds for each conference. The Crapids will probably be in a battle for the cellar, yes. They've lost Howard (might be a plus) and seem not to have done much to improve apart from bringing in Namli from Krasnodar.

DC are expected to be in a large group battling for the last playoff spots. They lost their 2 best players, Rooney and Lucho Rodríguez, but seem to have done a decent job replacing them. They spent a lot on attacker Edison Flores from Morelia, added Gressel from ATL, and Ola Kamara late last season.

Maxed out a couple props on BOL.



SJE is mostly a play based on Almeyda being able to bring in a few more of his players and being an elite coach.

Chicago's new ownership group seems much more ambitious and I think they'll bring in a big name or 2 during the Summer window.

Chich I think gets 20+ easily as long as he doesn't miss over a quarter of the season. Line was -130 when I started and they moved it to -145 on me after 3 bets lol.

Revs line just changed drastically. Now down to +165 so I did very well to lock it in at +225.

LFC has Houston so I'll pull for a Houston 4-3 final and Chicharito hat trick to start the season.

No strong opinion in the season opener, which starts in a half hour, so I will take the over 5.5 goals +1063 for a fun sweat.

BTW, Nashville in the West is gonna have a brutal travel schedule.

Are those prop bets reg season or playoffs? Fire and Quakes seem like lighting money on fire. I realize that's the point at those odds

NYCFC missing some dudes? Comfortable second favorites to win the East and dogs @ Columbus tomorrow?

Also, I say this every year but we should do a super low stakes MLS fantasy league for community experience, bantz and keeping interest

Columbus are supposed to be pretty good too and I'd assume the teams playing CCL also are having that factored into their odds.

I'm assuming regular season.

Fire were trying to sign a huge name for $15 million. If they can pull it off during the Summer window they'll be a completely different team.

Almeyda won a couple titles at Chivas when they were a complete dumpster fire and now he's been able to build his own team.

Obviously they're both pretty longshots.

Decent idea but seems like we only have 5-6 guys who ever even check the thread.

RAPIDS are your Supporter's Shield leaders

LOL DC

LOL MLS

perfect start

Revs are gonna have a good year

is quioto on big money? otherwise not really sure why houston let him go

Galaxy are gonna be so fun to watch. CH14, Pavón, and added Katai. PavGOAT already with a golazo and Katai hit a post.

OTOH, one of their starting CBs was an Impact 3rd string striker 2 seasons ago, can't make this up.

No Darwin for Houston

When you have a chance to get journeyman defender Victor Cabrera and 100k GAM you can't pass it up.

But yah Impact got super lucky w/that deal and I think he's only on like half a million a season.

**** man did Turner just tear his ACL

edit nvm alive

how the **** is this no goal? VAR lol

Offside on the header right before the goal, good call
