A small tidbit on how such a schedule change would affect NWSL as well (largely the same, somewhat more positively due to fewer cold markets and more hot markets and lunch time kickoffs)
Been a lot of chatter about how the upcoming MLS schedule change is going to affect play on the field. @kierdoyle.bsky.social decided to look exactly how. www.americansocceranalysis.com/home/2026/10...

We know about the hot hand, but what do we think about hot feet? 😈 @kierdoyle.bsky.social tried to port the hot hand theory over from basketball to soccer and it's maybe sorta kinda a thing www.americansocceranalysis.com/home/2026/9/...

The Tacoma Defiance have had some very productive No. 9s. But Mark Bronnik’s 2026 stands out for reasons that go beyond scoring a bunch of goals. ✍️: @timostlundfoss.bsky.social www.sounderatheart.com/2026/09/mark...

hadn't fully appreciated the Stars' woes, which is saying something. The worst NWSL season ever per @americansocceranalysis.com data (from 2016) by almost 0.5 xGD/game. A chance to have the worst xG/game and xGA/game on record, too. Only 2016 Orlando's 0.72 xG/game is worse and there's still time.
75points.americansocceranalysis.com Draft mode is now live for everybody (if you watched it on @xowngoals.com), also a bug that the blind modes had every position sorted by g+ anyways, so you could just pick the "top" player, is now fixed. Naughty naughty.
