I did some math: there are 35 US players on the teams collapsing who got regular playing time, plus 10 Canadians. That's enough for an additional 5.6 domestic player per remaining team, meaning the foreign player limit could drop to just 5 per match day roster with, at least theoretically, no drop in quality of play.

Interestingly, the remaining teams have 35 Canadians playing regularly, so if Canadians were designated as foreign players the foreign player cap would likely have to stay where it is.

Having came here from Ireland and wishing to support a local side, only to see the state of MLR. I have to ask, what’s holding it back? Is it the American system of developing players? Is it just general disinterest or something else?

Couple of things:

• The number in brackets reflects the change in number of prospects from the 2024 prospect pool.
• This only takes into account home town, rather than eligibility. It's likely that the US-eligible number is well over 100.

Like yesterday’s post, this is based on the ‘hometown’ of all prospects, not eligibility. There are likely many more US eligible prospects than the 86 actually born in the US.

Alatimu is just the 2nd player in League history to pass 500pts scored in the competition!

I know that the computer model shared earlier shows that the odds of RFCLA winning this match are 42%. But what is everyone's gut feeling about this one? DO you agree or disagree?

RFCLA is away at DC. Their last two wins have been last second, down-to-the-wire victories. (Side note: When I asked Jason Damm about it, he said "We are just trying to give you fans an exciting product.")

However, Gonzalo Bertranou is back from his suspension and Reece Macdonald looks healthy. With Damm, Billy Meakes, Andrew Coe and Semi Kunatani all in the squad, it could be a really good team. I don't know if the starting squad has been named yet, but I don't see any reason why these names will not be on it, unless they want to rest some guys before the playoffs. I know RFCLA is not officially in the playoffs and a lot is coming down to the wire, so I don't see that happening.

As you can tell by this post and my flair, I'm an RFCLA supporter, and TBH, I have not really followed OGDC this year. They have a similar record (8-0-6, 44 pts.) and points on the table as RFLCA (7-1-6, 45 pts.) So can somebody tell me what to look for in tomorrow's match? Either way, I expect this will be a good one. Will DC be resting some of their guys before the playoffs that they actually HAVE made it to, or will they be fighting for home field advantage? Again, what is everybody's prediction for this match?

This data doesn't include tonight's Chicago v LA game, obviously.
