It feels bewilderingly quick, but the Whitecaps are just a couple of short weeks away from reporting for their pre-season. This means that it’s time to fire up the sensible transfers machine. In this article, I will specifically be focusing on players who can play in the “2” in a 4-2-3-1. At just about every other position, the Whitecaps are two deep with players I … Continue reading Sensible Whitecaps Transfers: Double Pivot Midfielders
The Vancouver Whitecaps have selected four players in the 2026 MLS Superdraft. It used to be that these articles were largely vibes based but thanks to increased data coverage of NCAA and excellent work by American Soccer Analysis’ Paul Harvey, we have tons of information on these guys. So, let’s see what the ‘Caps got. Zach Ramsey/CM/17th Overall The Whitecaps acquired this pick this morning … Continue reading Deep Dive: Draft Picks (Zach Ramsey, Daniel Lugo, Yeider Zuluaga & Connor Lofy)
Every year, there are a lot of posts about which CPL players might make the jump to MLS. Many of these posts are, frankly, very silly. So, I am once again here to provide you with the definitive, sensible list of CPL players who are potentially interesting. This list is from a Whitecaps perspective, so it’s mostly aimed at filling positions on WFC2 where they … Continue reading CPL Players I Would Take a Punt on (2025)
Things are happening in Whitecaps land. Tom Bogert has reported that the Whitecaps have firm offers for at least 7 players on their roster. So, I want to take a look at some players who could plausibly have interest and try to determine if it’s a better idea to cash in on them or to hold on to them. I will give each player a … Continue reading The Price is Right: Which Players Should the Whitecaps Sell?
As we fast approach the Vancouver Whitecaps’ first MLS Cup Final appearance, I want to take some time to talk about the value of high expectations and a good system. I was inspired by a Glass City tweet which contains the following quote from Kristian Jack: “Bournemouth don’t expect to beat Manchester United when they host them a home, but they do their best…and it’s … Continue reading The Value of High Expectations and a Good System
It is time for another edition of the WFC2 end-of-season report. This article will cover (mostly) every player who played at least 500 minutes for WFC2 and analyse their chances of making the jump to the first team using a mixture of stats and qualitative observations. For the purposes of this article, I am considering Nelson Pierre and Rayan Elloumi to have already graduated to … Continue reading WFC2 End of Season Reports (2025)
The Vancouver Whitecaps are making major changes to the centreback positions with two players coming in and one going out. Joedrick Pupe and Sebastian Schonlau play in leagues I don’t watch and journeymen centrebacks tend to not get as much love in the YouTube compilation or amateur scouting game. So I am relying pretty heavily on the stats here. This is particularly tricky since defenders … Continue reading The Centreback Shakeup
Alright, he is almost here. It’s time to put any trepidation to the side (I get the sense it’s mostly me that has the trepidation) and start thinking about what having Thomas Muller means for the Vancouver Whitecaps. MLS Roster Stuff for Nerds and Losers: Reportedly, Muller will be signing a deal that makes him a TAM player in the first year and a DP … Continue reading How is Thomas Muller Going to Work?
The Vancouver Whitecaps, incredibly, are being linked with German legend Thomas Muller by several extremely credible reporters. Both Manuel Veth and Tom Bogert have stressed that nothing is necessarily imminent, but the Whitecaps are in a strong position relative to other MLS teams that may be interested. In the midst of all the excitement, I am here to ask an uncomfortable question: Are we sure … Continue reading Is Signing Thomas Muller Actually a Good Idea?
We have reached the 2/3 point of the MLS Next Pro Season which means it is time for an update on how the prospective future Whitecaps are doing. The first edition from this season has a long section explaining how all of this works so you can go and read that if you want that information. Additionally, I wanted to briefly touch on who will … Continue reading WFC2 Player Reports – July 2025
