It's that time of year again when ESPN releases its anonymous player poll. Also there are two videos of commentary about it,

Things that stood out to me:

Atlanta and SKC have replaced Seattle and Portland as the toughest places to play. Surprisingly, Houston was above us as well, but does appear at least one player said it had to do with the humidity and crap pitch.

Most of the players view VAR as a positive.

Players were pretty unhappy with the salaries/salary structure.

Messi supplanted Ibra as the guy they would most like to see play in MLS and ironically this came out right at the time Ibra as signing.

Piatti (and pretty right on, IMO) was the most underrated player in the game and both videos mention how Nagbe (3%) can be considered underrated when Atlanta flew him out on the team jet for an autograph session.

Most players do not want to see the league to switch to the international calendar.

About 2/3 of the players say playing on artificial turf would affect their decision to sign with a team.

I do always find this interesting. Although there was no question about the dirtiest player this time around.

Here is the second video that was mentioned.

Curious of others thoughts,
