    JDG still tops at this point. If Elliott gets cracked in the head at some point, then we'll be able to make a better comparison. Poor JDG was never the same.

    Jack Elliott has already made more Union appearances.

    JDG also never was involved in a shut-out, and the team only won 1 game.

    If we're talking all-time best to wear each number, few teams other than the Union would have the same player at both 9 and 11.

    I tried to keep up, but it was becoming a mess. I was pulling stats from MLS directly and they were grossly inconsistent with assists, secondary assists, and things of that nature. Half of the time their stats didn't even match up from one page to the next.

    It was awful.

    ETA: A lot of the times when I see stats being thrown around by the teams and their media departments, I wonder if they're even correct.

    I've done an analysis of the stats that the team has used this season and I found that only 41% of the time they are at least 62% correct regarding more than 55% of the stats stated when using at least two of the three major social media platforms (Twitter, Insta, Facebook). When factoring in Snap as well, however, that percentage ranges between 0-100%.

    Is there an opposite roster?

    I’ll submit the GK who came in from Morocco or wherever is the captain.

    He was the Ryan Leaf of MLS.

    Maybe Freddy is the alternate?

    Wow we have had a lot of turnover over the years. One comment by Jim was that it would somehow be a failure if we aren't able to sell on some of our younger players eventually. I get that maybe in the "now" but it would be nice if the MLS eventually started to be one of those "better" leagues that better young players go too instead of leave.
