[Rudi]

Oh shit, I got 77 points :fap:

 

[Chrispy]

Only scored 29. Woulda been 41 if I started Aguero. Still not that good.

Oh shit, I got 77 points :fap:

Got bumped to 64 points now. I think it's just done the Captain/Vice Captain calculations...

Suarez and Silva get the boost

 

[Rudi]

I also forgot to factor in Auto-Subs, thank god they saved my ass! Let me get Aguero in there. And David Silva was my captain, so he got a lotta bonus points.

 

[Chrispy]

Well i am still @ 47.....

 

[calgaryballer]

It also looks like the game has autosubbed in players for the purpose of scoring. Shawcross and Danny Murphy scored for me, meaning an extra 9 points

 

[Sigona]

I don't understand this scoring.

 

[calgaryballer]

For playing up to 60 minutes 1
For playing 60 minutes or more 2
For each goal scored by a goalkeeper or defender 6
For each goal scored by a midfielder 5
For each goal scored by a forward 4
For each goal assist 3
For a clean sheet by a goalkeeper or defender 4
For a clean sheet by a midfielder 1
For every 3 shot saves by a goalkeeper 1
For each penalty save 5
For each penalty miss -2
Bonus points for the best players in a match 1-3
For every 2 goals conceded by a goalkeeper or defender -1
For each yellow card -1
For each red card -3
For each own goal -2

Your captains points are doubled for scoring

Eddie Johnson, who did nothing in 3 years in Europe, is back in MLS.

Where he lands, nobody knows. Chivas has first rights but I've heard they aren't interested, Houston shouldn't be either, Toronto might sign and trade, Chicago might sign...

Should be one of those clubs where he lands.

Major League Soccer is adjusting its designated player rules in the hopes of bringing in more young international talent, an area in which the league has struggled to gain a foothold.

MLS executive vice president Todd Durbin announced Tuesday that the league was lowering the charge against the salary cap for young designated players after hearing from teams about their reluctance to sign young international players at such a high price.

International designated players age 20 or younger will be charged just $150,000 against the team's salary cap. Players aged 21 to 23 will count $200,000 against the salary cap. Both of those numbers are down from the $335,000 charge for all other designated players.

MLS trying to get younger name players to mix in with the Henry, Keane, Beckham, Donovan, Frings, etc, crowd they've built up.

Yay.
