If you are looking at looking at your team's schedule this is probably what is going through your head. Trying to predict how your team is going to fare in the upcoming season can be as simple as looking at the schedule and guessing what they are going to do in each game.
MLSsoccer.com is here to help. Taking a broader look at each team's schedule, we put together each team's strength of schedule for the upcoming 2015 season. Every team's schedule was laid out with their opponents at home and on the road. Then each of those games was assigned a points-per-game figure based on how their opponents did at home or on the road in 2014. Finally, all those figures were averaged to find the strength of their schedule for the entire season.
For example, if Chicago were playing at LA, home vs. Vancouver, and at SJ, their strength of schedule would be 1.55, since LA averaged 2.35 points per game at home in 2014, Vancouver averaged 1.06 ppg on the road, and San Jose averaged 1.24 ppg at home. Games against New York City FC and Orlando City SC were left blank, as they did not compete in the 2014 season.
Below is the strength of each team's schedule in 2015:
