Here are projected PPG based on xG record to date, ignoring H/A. xG record produces more average PPG since there are basically no ties. Specifically, East teams' actual points are about 90% of their xG record points. So, I took the xG record points over 34 games and haircut it to 90%. Still produces atypically high point totals.
NYCFC - 74.5
Orlando - 62.1
Chicago - 59.9
Toronto - 55.9
New England - 55.9
NYRB - 43.5
Atlanta - 43.0
Columbus -40.7
Philadelphia - 39.9
Montreal - 38.8
DC United - 20.0
My overall take on the East at this point is as follows. Obviously injuries, July transfers, etc. could change a lot, but here's how I see it.
- Toronto, NYCFC and Chicago are, at least to date, a cut above.
- Orlando has constantly had the benefit of a heavily home schedule. They are +3 home. They do, however, have a very strong xG record, so it is not a total mirage. But, I think they'll continue to fall back a bit.
- New England is better than their record. I would not be surprised if they finish fourth.
- Atlanta has had a tough road heavy schedule and sometimes looks amazing, but its not immediately clear to me that they will actually improve record-wise. I would still probably pick them for the sixth playoff spot.
- NYRB, Columbus and Montreal are on the fringe.
- Philadelphia is a step below.
- DC United is atrocious. Their awful record is actually better than their xG record by a lot and they are +2 home.

Thanks! Super-busy Spring so while I've continue to spend way too much time watching this team, I fell out of the loop on the forums. Looking forward to getting back in the flow and, of course, to the forums outing to the derby on 6/24. Our group is 19 people strong!Fancy seeing you back on here

I have tickets for 6/24. And I appear to be on the forums. What am I missing out on?
We had solicited interest on here a few months back and bought a block of tickets. We are up in Section 222 rows 18 and 19 if you(or anyone else) are nearby and want to come by and say hello.
On that note, something came up for me that weekend and I am no longer able to attend
. If someone else from the forums is interested, feel free to let me know (I'll post this in a more appropriate thread later).
Ah, cheers. I'll be with the TR block, but will come say hi
Not a whole lot to see here, but I think a lot of the stat/graph nuts will love it:

Yes. I knew it was Brillant, too. No idea why I wrote Chanot.
This is why I shouldn't check my records on a phone. Too easy to miss things. You are correct about TMac at Dallas and Villa against Orlando.
For corners, besides the Chanot and Callens goals you listed, I have Chanot again against Vancouver and Villa against Columbus at Citi Field.
Irregardless of a few forgotten instances, the correct answer to the question is, "not @#$% enough of 'em."
