Kreis: NYC FC can take four Man City players on loan: http://bit.ly/1jgFtCG

NYCFC is going to become the second most isolating team in MLS history. It is a mistake going down the road as MC lite. They better build a boss ass stadium inside the metro and become a super club otherwise you're isolating a lot of non-MLS fans who don't like City.

They'll probably be players like Luca Scapuzzi fwiw. Can't imagine tons of non-City fans know who that is.

Becks basically said he's had lots of phone calls from great players that he used to play with wondering when they team will enter the league and they can come over.

Not saying they will be getting big time players on loan, I'm just saying the way they're aligning themselves and the way it looks like they are going to brand themselves they are isolating themselves from non-city fans that have an EPL team.

Agreed. I think they should have a completely separate brand. No light blue.

They are going to be the same blue. Also everything I have said in this thread goes for the rumor of the LA gunners proposal.

Agreed, but at least Arsenal is extremely popular here. Probably the second most popular EPL club in the US behind United. They really should have their own identities though, and I think fear that they won't is warranted.

you know enough to know you're terrible at it so you're basically guaranteed to kick my ass

Not that preseason MLS is exciting to watch by any means, but Michael Bradley is about to make his TFC debut: http://www.mlssoccer.com/live

EDIT: No audio yet, and you can't rough ridin' see. Looks like some awful fog.

Maybe not knowing is better, like how the office bball bracket is won by the woman that picks the games based on the mascots or team colors. 

Putting my team together now. Couldn't resist putting Zusi in.

Zusi is a great fantasy player, but I didn't spend big money on any one player yet. Him, Collin, Wallace, and Valeri drove my team to victory all last season. Now, they're too expensive. Wallace was great last season because he was a defender on fantasy and actually played left winger and scored lots of goals and had lots of assists.

Only SKC player I have at the moment is Soony, and I'm not going to start him week 1.

My current team is high priced starters and minimum priced guys in the backup roles

Good luck with that. Those players who don't ever plays' values will go down. It's all about growing your team value.

I sacrificed one back-up spot each at D, M and F. At first I had a really balanced team but then made some changes because I really wanted a couple total studs. Still not sure out of Higuain and Magee who I will end up going with. Zusi is my captain. 

[sunny_cat]

So, we have four, so I'm going to go ahead and create a head-to-head league assuming we'll get some more people. I'll come back and post details when I'm done.

[sunny_cat]

League name is "goEMAW."

Code: 256-302

Just click "Create or Join Leagues" and enter the code.

Hopefully it gets up to at least 8 people.
