And #FCDallas with three keepers on this...fun. 😅
Several months ago, we introduced QASR (Quality Adjusted Save Rate), measuring goalkeepers by their save rate vs shot quality. Who's the best this year among keepers with 450+ minutes? In MLS, it's Brian Schwake from Nashville SC and in NWSL it's Cosette Morche from Orlando.

So, #FCDallas has gone from a ‘good but under-performing’ team in April into one that is still ‘good’ but is now over-performing.
Five months later, Vancouver and SKC are in the running as the best and worst teams by xPoints since 2013.
Nashville are likely going to win the Supporter's Shield like most teams over the last few years - by over-performing their underlying metrics. Montreal has had rotten luck.

#FCDallas is hosting Kenny Cooper, David Ferreira, Zach Lloyd, Dax McCarty, Ronnie O'Brien and Carlos Ruiz for the club's annual Alumni Night this coming weekend.
Love that this is starting to be an annual thing.

BREAKING: Davy wll miss tonight for family emergency. Terry Boss will lead. TB rejoined #AustinFC staff this summer after leading Lexington SC (USL). Led Oregon St. before joining the 2021 Austin staff. His only MLS appearance (GK) was for Seattle 2010 vs. FC Dallas in Frisco, only conceding a PK.
The only result for #AusinFC in seven all-time trips to Frisco was a 1-1 comeback draw that secured Austin's first MLS Copa Tejas. The acting head coach for Austin that night was Davy Arnaud.

Daniel Job is a really interesting guy and his transfer to FC Dallas raises a lot of questions about process, player evaluation, and league translation. In the closer look, I try to flesh out what a talent eval workflow could look like, and why it's harder than just "this player good."
