    Similar system to the Premier League one, anyone interested in increasing their stateside interest a tad?

    I'm going to Orlando in June and will get to see 2 games while there so I'll be up for them aswell as my usual New England Revolution. There are 2 games on the box tonight, more reasonably timed than last season also.

    Watching the Chicago v NYC game on Sky. This could end up being any score. They don't like to defend in this league. And NYC have this bizarre tactic of playing lateral goal kicks. Every goal kick completely sideways to one of the defenders who are on the edge of the box. Already conceded one goal by doing it, so you'd think they'd stop. Nope.

    It's certainly not boring that's for sure!!! Finally Diaz with an assist to get me some points on the board!!

    So much of this confuses me. I get the price change thing based on performance.....but I didn't expect it to happen so soon!

    Larin is now $9.2m, Giovinco $11.7!

    Yeah it's mad, you can't make transfers mid-gameweek also.

    There's all sorts of mad bonus points for attacking and defending. I have Valeri, and he has 3 points for 'attacking' and another bonus for taking 4 shots. Goodson (defender) got me 2 'defending' bonus. Might take a while to figure this out.

    Also, in terms of transfers, there's 2 FTs every week. You can carry 1 transfer.

    I think I'll be adopting a 1-punt, 1-safe approach, should make it fun!

    11pts. Yup 11.

    Maybe autoselect wasn't the best option.

    They like to score goals these soccerball teams.

    I can't wait for Pulisball to go stateside and get us some of these defending points!

    If I end up knowing the rotational pattern of the Revolution's fullbacks then things will have gone badly wrong here!

    Is there really a chainsaw at the timbers game?! :pac:

    There is. I was wondering what the fook the noise was. I thought a swarm of bees had entered the stadium, but nope. Just a burly American on the sideline cutting a tree with a big chainsaw, as you do.

    The defending is comical.
