OTFATT 2011: Update #2

Previous Updates

#1 4/11 66 players remaining


In these updates throughout the season, I'll be keeping track of which MLS players have played every minute of every game in the regular season. That feat has been accomplished only 42 times in 15 seasons. Click here for the complete list.

This month, three more teams have exhausted their supply of remaining OTFATT players. They are DC, Vancouver, and KC. As it stands now, there are 26 players left spread across 13 MLS teams. Eight keepers remain, along with 18 field players.

One player who will certainly be dropping off the list is Chicago's Marco Pappa, who was called up by Guatemala for next month's CONCACAF Gold Cup. Houston's Lovel Palmer, however, was not named in Jamaica's squad. It's likely that Andrew Hainault will join Canada, while there's an outside chance for several Americans to be named in Bob Bradley's squad (to be announced later today).

My picks for last remaining keeper (Nielsen) and field player (J.Hernandez) are already out. On average, about three players survive each season, but this year it seems like it could be fewer with the combination of the international callups and the longer schedule. Will there be a sole survivor, or even none like in 1998?

Remaining Candidates (26)

1 CHI Pappa
1 CHV Pearce
3 CLB Hesmer, James, Marshall
4 COL Kimura, Larentowicz, Moor, Pickens
3 DAL Hartman, Hernandez, John
3 HOU Hainault, Hall, Palmer
1 LA Dunivant
1 NY Solli
3 PHI Le Toux, Mondragon, Valdes
2 POR Brunner, Jewsbury
2 SEA Alonso, Keller
1 SJ Busch
1 TOR Frei

Order of teams being totally wiped out for 2011, with last surviving player:

1. RSL - Kyle Beckerman, Nat Borchers, Javier Morales, Nick Rimando, Chris Wingert (4/9)
2. NE - Pat Phelan (4/9)
3. DC - Marc Burch (5/4)
4. VAN - Alain Rochat (5/14)
5. KC - Jimmy Nielsen (5/14)

Alonso won't last. Sigi will play Carrasco in a less-important game at the tail end of some busy and/or important stretch.
