We here at ASA are lucky enough to be given a ballot from MLS to vote on all the major awards. We take such an honour very seriously, as a chance to vote for the best players analytically. By the numbers. This is that ballot.

I’m not gonna lie, I wrote the Western Conference and I liked it. I liked it so damn much that I didn’t want to write about the Eastern Conference and you know why, because there is so much more going on. It’s twice as deep and a mile wide.

But what the hell, Kieran wants both halves and what Kieran wants, Kieran gets. Just like the Supernatural theme I went with in the first half of this, it has dragged on far longer than it should have and while most of it doesn’t work just be kind to me for old time sake.

This year has been … wild. I’m not even just talking about the MLS season. Just within ASA itself it’s been wild and once or twice it’s been exactly that meme between Liz lemon and Jack Donaghy on 30 Rock where Liz looks at Jack and sighs exasperated saying “what a week, huh” and Jack casually strolls away while saying “Lemon, it’s Wednesday”.

What to know about the newest ASA platform

Have you ever wished that you could picture the game in front of you? Not as a broadcast, or a highlight video, but on a sheet of paper? All of a midfielder’s passes, your striker’s shots, an opponent’s tendencies, visualized? Previously, that required access to data, coding knowledge, and hours spent reinventing the wheel, just to see the most fundamental aspects of our game in graphic form. Not anymore.

Introducing American Soccer Analysis’ newest public platform: ASA VizHub. Making use of ASA’s extensive database, VizHub does the hard work for you, allowing for easy generation of industry-quality graphics.
