Ormond Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 How good is this league? In my opinion it’s not near as good as is made out by many. I’m of the belief that Russell has taken a step down. I was also just reading something about Bradley Wright Phillips being the best MLS player “ever”. This is a guy who came from Charlton I think.

Tartan Chris Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 Johnny Russell was decent hard working forward at Derby who chip in with 10 a season. Aside from more goals not much different to Anya. When you think likes of Phillips and Matt Ritchie have struggled to establish themselves for Scotland despite having good runs at premier league level, I'm not sure Russell would be a potential saviour.

Clyde1998 Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 There are a number of good players in the MLS (albeit usually at the end of their career) averaged out by a lot of dross. Once you get past a few good players for each team, I think that most teams would be lower English Championship quality at best. Football Manager (2017) reckons that players like Jamie Mackie and Greg Stewart are better than Bradley Wright-Phillips - which gives a sense of how good the MLS actually is.

According to the squad lists on wikipedia , as things stand, there are 22 MLS players going to the world cup (including 2 Peru players last night), and 23 Championship players going. I would take that to mean the standard in both leagues is roughly the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure you can use that to make a comparison. 13 of the 22 MLS players are from Panama and Costa Rica - which is understandable given the geography - whereas the Championship players are more spread across the board. I'd say that's skewing the numbers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, stupid comparison...almost all of the Saudi Arabia squad play in their national league...I highly doubt that will be on par with the Championship, or MLS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saudi Arabia have got nothing to do with it. USA aren't going to the world cup, and none of the England players play in the Championship. Both leagues have a similar number of foreign International World-Cup-standard players Edited May 31, 2018 by davew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davew Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 I thought Costa Rica looked pretty decent when they beat us in March, and considering that a lot of our players are Championship level... It's hard to imagine Panama are up to much, but they did qualify ahead of the USA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
