The 2026 MLS SuperDraft ASA Big (Dash)Board
americansocceranalysis.com - Paul Harvey
The MLS Superdraft in many ways kicks off the offseason, as most teams have yet to make any real signings. Even though many of the draft picks will never play for their respective first teams, it still marks the beginning of a period of excitement and analysis, as hope springs eternal for every team in MLS.As part of that, I have continued my project of analyzing the draft for the best available players. Last year, we divided the best players by data into three tiers. Of the 19 tier one players, 15 were drafted and 6 were taken in the top 10. That cohort saw 5 players play more than 1000 minutes in MLS last season, with players like Manu Duah and Tate Johnson being the highlights. Many went on to dominate in MLS Next Pro or USL, like Michael Adedokun, Nick Fernandez, and Emil Jaaskelainen.

Manchester City Finances 2024/25
substack.com - Swiss Ramble
Manchester City’s 2024/25 accounts cover a season when they finished third in the Premier League and reached the FA Cup final, where they were surprisingly beaten by Crystal Palace.On the international stage, they advanced to the knockout round of the Champions League, where they were eliminated by Real Madrid, while they also reached the last 16 in the expanded FIFA Club World Cup, where they lost to Saudi club Al-Hilal.For most clubs, this would be a more than satisfactory season, but City admitted that this represented a “disappointing outcome”, which was perfectly understandable, considering that they had won the league six times in the previous seven years.
