Totally missed LAFC bringing Walta in on loan

Paul Harvey @paulharvey.theoutfield.nyc · 17/10/2026

The lone bright spot for NYCFC has been current draftee Ransford Gyan absolutely tearing it up for Clemson this year. They can’t bring him in soon enough.

While Yagudayev's save rate has normalized a little, it's still an impressive 87.5%. 13 goals allowed, 90 saves. The only other goalkeeper in NCAA D1 with more saves (Jabullie Mooketsi, Chicago State, 106 saves) has let in 41 goals.

For style of play, Mehmeti is incredibly well rounded; roughly even in his ability to win the ball, keep possession and move play forward, and about 72-75th %ile in all three. The closest player style and quality wise in MLS is a personal favorite, Keaton Parks.

Two Adri Mehmeti factoids: - For his MLS career so far, he has completed 96 progressive actions above his positional expectation. That's more than any player under the age of 19 except Busio, who hit that mark just short of his 19th birthday. Mehmeti is 17 and a half.

The story of Cavan Sullivan is a story about American soccer idols, and by extension, a story about American soccer itself, both the good and the bad. 20 years after Freddy Adu, American soccer has its prodigy. For @scoutedftbl.com, the tales we weave about Cavan and all that came before (🎁 link):

Cavan Sullivan, American mythmaker

Two decades after Freddy Adu, the United States finally has a new soccer icon. Now the nation must learn how to cope with the superstar it's craved.

When NYCFC II made their deep Open Cup run a few years back, there was a lot of after the whistle action. My working theory was that their opponents REALLY hated losing to a bunch of kids. Seems to be the case on the international stage too

If the hammer comes down Cavan Sullivan can always simply not go to Manchester City. He is not contracted to them. He and Philadelphia may have preemptively agreed to terms but I don’t know that it would be enforceable.

Contextually, Feli Rauch grabbed Dudley’s jersey towards the small of her back and may have also gotten some hair with it. She got a foul for the jersey pull but that was it. Jordynn Dudley has long hair as do many other players. I don’t think the commentary was particularly unfair towards her.

It’s that but it’s not only that - there’s a certain level of belief in magic that seems to be protective as a player and then survives to being a coach

Former NYCFC academy GK Alex Yagudayev is mentioned in this article; currently, he’s allowed 2 goals in 33 shots on target this season for an unreal 94% save rate. He missed Villanova’s last game and they gave up 3 goals on 9 shots on target.

The 'excused' status for a player on the availability report strikes again. Paul is a rookie forward out of Alabama. Didn't get much run in KC so far, but what minutes she got were at the 9, so more depth there. Had Reilyn Turner as a comp on @paulharvey.theoutfield.nyc's NCAA scouting dashboard.

My guess would be GK positioning being the big difference (which imo shouldn’t be part of the xGOT). Pretty sure ASA is GK position naive

that's true, imagine if FBRef could just get the data straight from broadcast tracking themselves instead of relying on a fickle provider. At the same time you need a trusted shared institution setting definitions, like you originally said

Paul Harvey @paulharvey.theoutfield.nyc · 09/09/2026

I don't know that AI tools are going to be what changes that, though. There's good work being done in the space already, cutting edge analysis by actual humans. Pointing a bunch of computer vision tools at the games is not in and of itself going to bring in that public engagement.

I felt like the initial coverage of the proposed playoff change in MLS was negative, but mostly out of confusion. The more I sat with the proposal (which was admittedly difficult to parse) the more I saw the vision and believed it could be exactly what we want the playoffs to be.

Paul Harvey @paulharvey.theoutfield.nyc · 09/09/2026

The real juice here, for me, is the proliferation of Veo etc cameras at all levels of soccer. You're not getting anything out of a Man City game that hasn't been done 1000 times, but if you can get "good enough" data on 10s of thousands of youth players all at once... game changer for recruitment.

If I ran a club I would simply hire then fire Caleb Porter and Bradley Carnell in quick succession. The resulting boost would turn any team from bottom feeder to elite in less than a month.
