In as Sernie Banders. I think my team is good, but I've never done MLS fantasy before so I'm sure I'll get crushed.

Also, your link is broken. MLS hasn't shelled out for an SSL cert yet, so you gotta drop the HTTPS from the URL.

In. Hopefully I won't be a Spoon contender this time around.

Is it just me or did they make it easier to fill a team with competent players this time around? I have a lot fewer $4.0 guys than I had last time.

Yeah I think guys are more reasonably priced this time around and they gave us extra money.

^^^I swear to God I'm going to cry if I finish 2nd or 3rd again. Both years my season ended by literally the only person in the league to best my point total that week.

Not really unless you're counting on a lower price player doing good this week, but want to buy, like Kaka next week.

The players will go up and down in value all season depending on form as well. Getting a guy early and having him gain value can actually earn value to your squad. I think my squad was worth around $126m at the end.

Yeah last year my MVP was probably Villarreal. Got him in week one for like 4.5 or something ridiculously low, and his form eventually rose him at least 2m. I think.

I decided the gimmick this year would be the players with the most cards as a real team of assholes (with some massaging for known assholes who didn't get a lot of cards). DIE TEUFELSCHAFT! :regd10:

Rimando is the token "good" guy.

The first week is over! Did you win? Did you forget that that guy you picked is old and busted and didn't start?
How about your goalkeeper getting injured 20 minutes into the game after getting scored on?!

Well keep your chin up, you got like 20 more rounds to look like a fool!
