MFLS Week 4 Results

I am confident that I rocked the house and am now beating Carlee. Unfortunately I cannot prove that because MFLS has been down all day. Damn them.

MFLS Week 3 Results

To give you a sense of how bad I am at fantasy soccer, my roster for week 3 had a lot of blue in it. Here is the best 11 from week 3. Looks like I should have banked on red. I am ranked 1512 out of 2311 teams.

As far as game predictions go though, I am 162 out of 2311 teams. It must be dumb luck. Perhaps I should learn more about the scoring system or do some better research on player/team stats. Carlee is beating me down. She had 32 points this past week. After 3 weeks in the league, I have less than 30. She beat 3 weeks of my team in one week.

MFLS: Roster Week 3

I decided to be active and make some trades for this week's roster. I picked up Ralston, Altidore, and Pierce. I am making a play on New England this week and thinking that they will beat Columbus on the road. Columbus has yet to score but also has not given up any goals either. Banking on New England contradicts my defensive trade to pick up Pierce (who plays on Columbus). I think he is a long term addition to my roster though. Altidore is my new forward - I am hoping the Red Bulls turn it on. Keeper change in net since DC United has a bye. Chicago needs to be stingy this week.

MFLS Week 2 Results

Week 2 of the MFLS competition is over and my game predictions continue to outshine my player roster. Obviously I should try synching up the roster with the predictions. Right now I am ranked:

• 162 out of 2241 in the prediction league
• 1817 out of 2241 in the fantasy pool

Here's how my roster did in week 2. Almost any New England player was a sure thing this past weekend (see Cristman) as they slaughtered Toronto. Ralston and Twellman were the NER players that would have brought home the big bucks - Ralston had two assists to Twellman. Its starting to look like banking on big Toronto losses may be a decent strategy. Not sure what is going on with DC United but I think the might be offloading some of the DC players from my roster if the team can't pick up the pieces soon. Eddie Johnson had a great weekend, in contrast to his US MNT performances. I won't hop on the bandwagon yet though - one game does not indicate that he is out of his slump just yet.

MFLS Week 2 Predictions

Here are my picks for week 2 in the MLS. Last week I ended up with 2 out of 6 picks right with 1 exact scoreline. This translates to 10 points and has me ranked at 342 out of 2160. Not bad! It's a pretty good ranking compared to my player/roster score, which is currently 1364 out of 2160...ugly.

I May Not Be Good At This

I signed up for MFLS (Major Fantasy League Soccer) this past weekend. This happened about 15 minutes after we purchased MLS Direct Kick which gets us access to almost all of the local MLS soccer feeds around the country. MLS Direct Kick will pretty much guarantee that I will be able to watch more MLS soccer then I ever thought possible. In fact, this past weekend I think I watched 5 MLS games, 1.5 EPL games, and 1/2 of an Italian game. At some point I decided I was even a little upset that I couldn't get watch LA Galaxy game. No, I do not have a problem.

MFLS: My roster for week one probably didn't do well. I signed up at the last minute, felt a little rushed and had a little too much weight on one or two teams. Despite pressing refresh on my browser, the scores have yet to be posted so it remains to be seen just how bad I did. This afternoon I played a little bit with transfers and have the following roster headed into week two.


I've never been good at stats. I've never tried any kind of fantasy league for any sport because of that very fact. So I think I am pretty much going to get my ass handed to me by Carlee...she signed up too. Before she signed up though, she researched which players and teams had the best goals for/against ratios. So yeah, I'm gonna be losing pretty quickly here. But at least I know I married the right woman.
