    On Fifa 20 which uses the 19 schedule. I updated only the Crew roster and simulated the season.

    Zardes was injured for 3 months so I started Hamilton and re signed R Williams for depth

    also sold Trapp to Crystal Palace in the Summer and signed Maciel since he is on our radar

    Preseason 1-1 Final vrs Monarcas Morelia and we lost on PKs 3-4

    Regular Season won the shield with 84 pts ( LAG had 80) we had 27 W -3 D- 4 L

    Open Cup lost 1-2 in Semi to LAG

    Playoffs lost home game 1-1 ( 3-4 in PKs) to 5 seed NYCFC ( who had 47 pts on the season )

    Stats:
    GK:Room started and played all 35 games with 11 clean sheets and also had 2 asst

    ST:
    Zardes 10G in 24 gm ( he didn’t start all those as i eased him back from injury)

    Hamilton 3G in 25 gm

    R Williams 8 games & JJ 4 and both had no goals

    Midfield:
    Trapp - N/A because I didn’t write them done and they disappear once traded

    Pedro was unreal 35 gm , 21 goals ( 1 shy of boot winner Salloi for SKC) 8 assist ( 2 shy of league leaders Rooney & Barrios of FC Dallas )

    Cadden 2 games , 1 goal was in 18 for every game they consider him a RM

    Diaz started the season as the back up until I built up his stamina in training. 11 games 2 goals

    Mokhtar 29 games 3 goals his form was always good but his production was not

    Nagbe ( get ready to laugh ) 35 games 10 goals and 5 asst

    Artur 18 games 1 goal and 1 asst

    Zelarayán 35 games 15 goals and 6 asst

    Deffense:
    Afful 34 games 2 goals 1 asst
    Jimenez 10 games
    Francis. 7 games 1 asst
    Valenzuela 34 games 2 asst
    Vito 35 games 1 goal 1 asst
    Mensah 34 games 1 goal
    Josh Williams 6 games
    Sjöberg 4 games
    Keita 7 games

    Development:
    I focused on 5 players with upside ( that’s the limit ) and never switched the players. The gm insist Cadden is a RM as his primary although it does have Rm/RB/CM listed

    Diaz ( worked on stamina ) 68 to 72
    Cadden ( worked on defending ) 68 to 69
    Artur ( ^) 71 to 75
    Valenzuela (^) 71 to 77
    Keita (^) 64 to 74

    Second breakfast for us.

    Took the kids to Winterfest at KI. We always stay in the IHG brand so Holiday Inn Express breakfast for us.

    Cincy old friends wanted to meet us for breakfast on them so ... second breakfast.

    Haha. I thought I remembered seeing a guy with that name being of interest to "MLS teams" or something, but not specifically us.

    Sounds entertaining.
    Some chuckles and surprises as I read your results—Pedro with 21 goals![emoji1]

    Porter still hasn't won an MLS Cup Playoff game since 2015. Shambolic.

    We won’t finish first place but we might lose our playoff game . But I’ll be happy with a playoff appearance only if we continue to keep upgrading at every position. After our MLS cup final appearance and Easteren confrence final appearance each year ownership did little to nothing to upgrade . I don’t believe you will ever see those type of fall offs again .

    i would love to see us get some young exciting back ups this year at some point at Striker , Winger and central midfield. Doesn’t have to be big money signings

    How was that? We saw a sign for it while driving to Cincy this past weekend and we looked it up online. Looks fun.

    Nice. Not sure if it is worth the ticket entrance without the season passes. With season passes, meal plan, and drink plan that makes our trips a little more doable.

    We are unsure when we will be able to get to KI next because this upcoming year will be full and busy.

    The other day Tim said to me, “with all of the small appliances we have (and we have quite a few), how do we not have a waffle maker?”

    To be fair, I just had frozen waffles. Only need a toaster for that.

    I’d rather eat the cardboard box the waffles were packaged in.

    True, but there’s not much difference between frozen waffles and a cardboard box.

    Came back from Paris several years ago and, of course, had to invest in a crepe maker. Which I have actually used, but not nearly enough to justify the purchase.

    My wife's the waffle maker jockey in our household. I do make a pretty competent pancake, though.
