Some teams are still adding players, but we’re far enough into the preseason to start BSing our order of finish. East 1. ATL 2. RBNY 3. DCU 4. NYC 5. PHL (Im a Posidelphian!!!) 6. CMB 7. TFC 8. CHI 9. NER 10. MTL 11. FCC 12. OCSC West 1. LAFC 2. PTFC 3. SKC 4. VAN 5. SEA 6. LAG 7. FCD 8. HOU 9. RSL 10. COL 11. SJE 12. MNU LAFC wins MLS Cup SEA wins USOC
WEST 1. LAFC 2. LAG 3. SKC 4. PTFC 5. RSL 6. VAN 7. MNU 8. RSL 9. SEA 10. COL 11. SJE 12. FCD EAST 1. RBNY 2. ATL 3. DCU 4. NYCFC 5. TFC 6. PHL 7. CBUS 8. NER 9. MTL 10. CHI 11. ORL 12. FCC Supporters Shield: RBNY USOC: SKC MLS Cup: LAG over ATL IMO the top 3 in each conference should be set, those teams are just better then every other team. The rest is really a crap shoot, as most of the remaining teams are even (except maybe Orlando and San Jose, those rosters ) or have some significant flaws (FCD lacks proven difference makers, Chicago is thin AF on defense, Can Montreal continue to ride Nacho, can the Diego's stay healthy for PTFC?) .
East: 1. Atlanta 2. DCU 3. RBNY 4. Crew 5. UNION 6. TFC 7. Montreal —————————— 8. NYCFC 9. Revolution 10. Chicago 11. Orlando 12. Cincinnati West: 1. Kansas City 2. LAFC 3. Portland 4. Seattle 5. Galaxy 6. Rapids 7. Houston —————————— 8. Minnesota 9. Vancouver 10. Earthquakes 11. Salt Lake 12. Dallas MLS Cup: LAFC over Red Bull Shield: SKC Open Cup: Rapids over Crew CCL: Atlanta over Tigres Canada: Montreal over TFC Spoon: Cincy
Alright, I'll play EAST 1. ATL 2. RBNY 3. NYC 4. DCU 5. CBS 6. TFC 7. PHL 8. MTL 9. NER 10. CHI 11. ORL 12. CIN WEST 1. LAFC 2. LAG 3. SKC 4. POR 5. VAN 6. SEA 7. FCD 8. HOU 9. RSL 10. MNU 11. COL 12. SJE MLS Cup: LAFC Open Cup: Seattle Shield: ATL I have to think TFC will bounce back and surpass us, even without Giovinco. DCU continue upward curve. 5th - 8th is where we will land, with a road playoff game at somewhere like RB or CBS ending in defeat. Familiar?
He's got to be worth a couple of wins on that team, especially against other bottom/mid tier teams. They were 6 points out of 9th and you have an expansion team that isn't owned by Arthur Blank. Just looking at FCCincy's roster. It's not awful awful, but the midfield needs some work. There's some names there. A front line of Fanendo Adi, Manneh and Darren Mattocks is 3/4ths of a bitching 4x400 relay. Greg Garza has enough in the tank. Don't know about Waston's level anymore. Odds on Corben Bone / Jimmy Mac scoring/assisting/getting a card in our 2 games with them?
This season? Likely zero % chance for Jimmy Mac ............ Embrace reality and deal with it. Successful ACL reconstruction surgery this morning. Massive thanks to Dr. Rubenstein for giving me the best possible treatment. He is the best in the… https://t.co/nb0AGMoTy8— Jimmy McLaughlin (@J_McLaughlinIII) February 13, 2019
