I can’t believe that some people aren’t familiar with Sogut’s elite LinkedIn posting
Erkut Sogut LinkedIn post:
“Eating Fufu in Ghana 🇬🇭. By hand. With respect…

During my time in Ghana, while giving a lecture…”

So what does Recovery Differential say about MLS 2026 so far?

We’ve talked about GAM inflation a lot. In a unique league with this unique currency, it means that last year’s price is quite literally not equal to this year’s. Historically, we need to adjust our expectations for the valuation of assets. We dive into the Wild West of GAM Inflation:
A world without transmasc lesbians is like a summer day without the sun. A meadow devoid of daisies. A reef with no coral.
Tacoma is a beautiful place because why did I just see a lawn sign advertising universal basic income
Though the announcer just said Tash Flint worked her way “back to the top flight” of professional women’s soccer by signing in the NWSL…her former team, the Tampa Bay Sun, are in fact part of the *other* top flight women’s league in the U.S.

Friday Stat Dump: xG categorization

Since it's international break and
@catabush.com has updated the public MLS (and NWSL!) "How Your Team Scores" dashboards for 2026, let's revisit these concepts taken mostly from the Where Goals Come From series and see what they are telling us so far.

This week’s blog post isn’t really a post. It’s a tool that everyone can use to analyze their team’s current GAM situation based on the trades teams have made.

All in one place.

Introducing…. GAM Is Fun
I maintain that people want moneyball until they see it. Then they want a new GM.
The NWSL xG dashboard is back for 2026!

For those who weren't here last season, the dashboard uses
@jamonm.bsky.social & @carloncarpenter.bsky.social's WGCF principles to break down NWSL shots.

Built using
@americansocceranalysis.com data.
