Hell yea let's play some MLS FANTASY 2017! In MLS fantasy, you create a team of your favorite aging Euros, journeyman South/Central Americans, and regular US Americans who could be The Next Big Thing (but won't!) to score fake points based on their real points. You get $100 million to buy 15 players, and (new this year!) you get unlimited transfers every round. Buy your players, watch this dumb league (or don't!), and you, too, could win the pride and admiration of all your peers by being the nerdiest MLS goon on the forum.

Our league is a head to head league, because classic is incredibly dumb and boring.
League Name: SA Goons
Join code: 12267-2483

If the pride and admiration of your fellow goons isn't enough motivation, then check out these sweet prizes!

PLAYOFFS WINNER: I will mail you a Barack Obama postcard!

REGULAR SEASON WINNER: I will ALSO mail YOU a Barack Obama postcard!

WOODEN SPOON: I will mail you a postcard of Donald Trump!

_{(look I bought a bunch of Barack Obama postcards last time I went to the Air and Space museum and I gotta get rid of them somehow. Feel free to volunteer other prizes and I will add them to this post.)}

Go forth and create your teams! Post about them in this thread because the main MLS thread is full of fantasy haters! Fight... and win!

We now have a Classic League for anyone who missed the Head to Head signup!

I can't decide between Higuain and Kevin Molino, and I'm certain that whichever I don't pick will score a hat trick.

Or Adi. I went with an Adi and Giovinco pairing up top. Thankfully I picked Valeri, too. And made him captain.

In week one action I lost against the average. Not a great start.

Wait, they're resetting all the scores for week 2? :wtf:

I haven't been able to figure out if they're just resetting classic leagues or all leagues.

Considering I currently sit in the top 2% of all players (and lead the SA group currently :smuggo:

): gently caress THAT.

Ahhh lame, that must mean they aren't resetting head to head leagues. They should really put that info on the site somewhere instead of the huge banner that says all leagues are getting reset. I'll look into it a bit more tonight and if I can't come up with another explanation I'll remove my post from the other thread.

Me too. Was there a team limit that was hit? Weird.

If anyone missed out on the real league and just wants to be in a dumb classic scoring league with no Barack Obama postcards, I made one. http://fantasy.mlssoccer.com?autojoin-code=25138-4554

I think you can also join this even if you're already in the SA Goons head to head so why not?

The standings after week 2! We're so poo poo that if the league ended today, AVERAGE would make the playoffs! My title defense is off to a wretched start, and I'm feeling very stupid for dropping Miguel Almiron using the logic that he wouldn't score in the snow.

This week's biggest score (80 points!) was put up by Kanye 2020, despite one of his players not playing at all. Well done!

You've got til Saturday at 2pm to get your new lineups in, and don't forget to join the Classic league, too. (Join Code: 25138-4554) You've missed a week, but we're all really bad so you've got a great shot!

What's that? It's an international break but MLS is still playing 3 games for some stupid loving reason? Thank goodness you get unlimited transfers this year!
