We are targeting Thursday specifically as our release days. As mentioned at the end of the podcasts the amount of time that went into planning and producing these podcast were significant. A big thanks to Ian, Drew Olsen, Jamon Moore, Sean Steffen, Harrison Crow and Simon Thwaits for their respective help in getting this off the ground as well as the many other ASA Staff who were bugged, poked and variously surveyed for their thoughts and feedback.As always, we do this not for ourselves but for the community and as such we expect that you do your part and give us feedback.

This weeks episode was actually recorded a little over a week ago. But no matter much of the content is still relevant because the reality is that MLS teams don't really fluctuate from week to week as much as some people try to make it seem in power rankings.Jared Young once again joins the cast and we talk about the two more unlikely teams that sit on top ... or near top (Philadelphia still leads the Eastern conference in PPG) of their respective conferences.

It's been a few weeks but Sean and Harrison are back with a new guest this week. We recorded this last week so if there are a few odd references (such as NYRB "struggling") just ignore it.This week's a bit different as we're talking about Fantasy Soccer and not specifically players but the functions of leagues, creating them how we've managed our own private league with at ASA and how others have created their own. We talk about unique point systems, the difficulties of balance, intensive and how micro and macro economics have come to influence acqusitions.A big shout out to our guest Seth Goodman. This is a bit of an unusual podcast on the whole but I'm sure in the next week we'll be back with more arguments about Seattle and LA and Colorado and how much we both are frustrated about something.Visit americansocceranalysis.com for more analytically based content. You can follow ASA (@analysisevolved),  Harrison Crow (@harrison_crow), Sean Steffen (@seansteffen) and Jared Young (@JaredEYoung) on twitter and find us on facebook. 

Jarred Young takes time out of his busy schedule to join Harrison and Sean in discussing our thoughts on the U-23 and USMNT matches. We then transition to the Eastern Conference and discuss some of the results and what little we really know about the season at this point. Lastly we Jared talks about one of his latest projects in a new passing metric and we throw around some ideas on how we might improve upon it.Visit americansocceranalysis.com for more analytically based content. You can follow ASA (@analysisevolved),  Harrison Crow (@harrison_crow), Sean Steffen (@seansteffen) and Jared Young (@JaredEYoung) on twitter and find us on facebook. 

Harrison and Sean return to talk about the changes to the Colorado Rapids, how much better it's made them and if they're going to be able to compete for a playoff spot. Then they shift gears to talk about the USMNT and how they might use the pool to optimize the line-up using Jurgen Klinsmann formational propensities. Visit americansocceranalysis.com for more analytically based content. You can follow ASA (@analysisevolved),  Harrison Crow (@harrison_crow) and Sean Steffen (@seansteffen) on twitter and find us on facebook.

He also provides some perspective on the soccer panel.After that round-up is complete Justin, Sean and Harrison dive into week two results and gap about oddities of DC United, disappointments with the Sounders shot generation and of course we hate on San Jose.Visit americansocceranalysis.com for more analytically based content. You can follow ASA (@analysisevolved), our friend, Kareem Williams (@kareemw9 ), Harrison Crow (@harrison_crow) and Sean Steffen (@seansteffen) on twitter and find us on facebook.

Harrison and Sean take a haphazard approach to recalling key moments through the first week of MLS games. They wander through the shot ratio disaster of Colorado, talk initial results of the Nerd League with a few winners and one specific loser then engage on a few other casual observances of Sunday. The podcast finishes with a discussion on Audi and their new "awesome" revamped version of the castrol index (spoiler alert: we don't think it's awesome).Visit americansocceranalysis.com for more analytically based content. You can follow ASA (@analysisevolved), Harrison Crow (@harrison_crow) and Sean Steffen (@seansteffen) on twitter and find us on facebook.

Once again Sean and Harrison join forces to discuss things that are some what relevant to US Soccer, MLS and nerds. Harrison talked about his game plan for reading the Harry Potter series to his son and that led to dealing with player loss and attachment in a business driven world.Getting to the matters at hand, Sean and I broke down Darren Mattocks impending transfer to...  somewhere not in Vancouver and utilized a Risk Matrix to discuss whether he'd be a smart buy for anyone else in MLS.We kind of ranted on CONCACAF Champions League touching the four clubs (RSL, DC United, LA Galaxy and the Sounders) and their (unlikely) possibilities for getting to the next round.Lastly, we talked a bit about Tim Howard and though it's not official we talked as though it was mentioning some fun keeper stats that are sure to make our friend Bill Reno green with envy.Visit americansocceranalysis.com for more analytically based content. You can follow ASA (@analysisevolved), Harrison Crow (@harrison_crow) and Sean Steffen (@seansteffen) on twitter and find us on facebook.Subscribe to ASA on iTunes and Stitcher, and give us as many stars are you can!

Harrison, in usual fashion, talks to us in his goofy form. He was worried about his audio quality, so make sure to ridicule him about it until he buys an iPhone. We talked about a really cool project he did at American Soccer Analysis, and the impact of Deandre Yedlin’s eventual departure. Follow Harrison on […] The post 34: Hercules, Hercules… and Deandre Yedlin, with @Harrison_Crow appeared first on North and South of Royal Brougham.
