Cooper could realistically break 20 with the better service/less attention he'll be getting in the 2. Bundesliga. I'm guessing both Davies and Altidore will start around 40-60% of league games and scratch double digits.
Cooper's in the easiest league and will probably get the most PT. Seems like a clear winner. Alsohealreadyhasone.
Yep. Then it comes down to playing time between the other two. Coop just showed up, already got a start, and already has a goal. He's going to get playing time. And the opposing defenders are not going to be as good.
cooper had 3 clearcut chances today. No competition. It seems that although he could have gone to a better team, his dad and him decided he'd like to continue being the focus of the attack, and as long as he keeps scoring, he'll become a bigger fan favorite than in Dallas (which isnt that hard considering what, 15 people, show up to Dallas games?)
i think it is cooper-davies-alti. cooper, as has been pointed out is in the easiest league, with not as good defenses. altidore will be on a team that is fighting relegation the majority of the year, and will not be able to use his size to his advantage in the epl. I think Alti ends up between 6-8 goals, Davies (with something like 9-14) will be in the middle of Cooper and Altidore
If Cooper scores 20, he'd score more than any other player in 2.Bundesliga last year (3 players tied at 16), so I doubt he gets that, but double digits should be expected, and I think he'll be around the league leaders. Double digits for Davies would be a definite success in the low-scoring French league, and if Altidore breaks double digits, he would have to start close to every game (to give an idea, 11 players scored 12 or more goals in the Premiership last season and 8 of them play for teams that are in Europe).
Cooper will score .5 goals a game. that's what he does. doesn't matter what team. Charlie will shock an athletic league and go well past 10 goals. Jozy will start almost all if not all Hull's league matches. He will have no service at all so 6-8 goals would be huge.
we've been treated to some great goal outputs from Dempsey in the midfield. I'd be happy if Jozy got at least 10 goals.
i see this as simply pointing out which league is easier... i think Cooper-Davies-Jozy, simply b/c i think Cooper will have more opportunities against easier opposition.... davies will see weaker opposition then Jozy.... however, if Jozy starts and Davies doesnt, its quite possible for Jozy to push ahead of Davies...
