Scraping the bottom here this year. Worst part: I was actually trying when I picked my team.

I've been trying every week I've lost. I'm making all my transfers and it looks like my magic from last year has vanished.

Oooh. THAT'S embarassing.

Full disclosure: I'm also losing in an informal competition with my 7-year-old who picked his team based on names he recognized. Whatever I did that worked last year was clearly short-lived.

Dude.

You're being beat by the MLS All-Star Team of Craven, Doody and Bush.

That should be a law firm: Craven Bush & Doody.

False. I also have Doody (and Peay), so I'm really just losing to Craven/Bush.

Yeah. I've been slacking. They made it super hard to copy/paste tables this year and I've been mad at them so I haven't taken the 10 minutes per week. :(

But I'm up to 11th considering I've not changed my lineup for 2 months!

If you are Buttzilla Butts, then yes. Also, Duty Free FC wins the Supporters Shield mk2 for having the most fantasy points in the regular season. And Qu Appelle wins the Spoon this year again while kind of trying.

The thing about words is that meanings can twist just like a snake, and if you want to find snakes, look for them behind words that have changed their meaning.
Oh hey, I snuck into the playoffs somehow.

PROTIP: Hitching your team's fortunes to a couple of guys who are gone all summer for the Gold Cup, then ignoring your team during said stretch so you don't fix the problem, is not a recipe for success.

And the final standings with the top 16 moving on to the PLAYOFFS! This was surprisingly well fought considering last year had a giant gap between playoff bound teams and the sorry dregs making up the rest of the table. Condolences to Peay And Doody and Black Panthers FC who lost out on point difference.

My reward for an upset victory is having to cobble together a coherent fantasy roster on an international break week where only three games will occur. :negative:

Just like the real league, MLS Fantasy Goonball is all about squeaking into the playoffs and making a run from there. I haven't touched my team in a month or so. Without realizing the playoffs had started, I tried to check on it at work this week but had login issues (I have a Chrome plugin that kills it, not sure which, don't care too much).

Here I am happy to see that by having Robbie Keane captained, I made it through to the next round.

And these are your matchups for the Quarterfinals:




Since there's only 3 games this week, I have no idea what the gently caress is going to happen in terms of transfers/wildcards etc. Looks like this poo poo is really up for grabs. I hope that one guy on your team who plays scores like 10 goals I guess.

You have unlimited transfers this week. There are 2 games tomorrow and 1 on Saturday. Get your lineups set.

Duty Free kicking rear end! whoop whoop! FYI, led the league in points by about 250 points for but lost a lot of high scoring matchups.
