Let’s just say 2019 was not kind to the Vancouver Whitecaps or their supporters. Vancouver finished last in the Western Conference, ahead of only FC Cincinnati in the overall MLS standings. There were some positives, such as the development of Derek Cornelius and Maxime Crepeau looking like a decent goalkeeper with the potential to improve. That said, our expected goals model actually suggests that the Whitecaps did better in 2019 than they would have been expected to, picking up 34 points against an expected 30.7, so...not great.
