The 2017 season is at about its midpoint for FC Dallas. Expectations were high for the team this season, and although a lot has changed from five months ago when the team started playing competitive games this year, FC Dallas is near the top of the standings with half the season left and pieces starting to fit together. It’s time to take a look back across that period and grade the players.
The grades account for expectations (for example, if a rookie were to get an A and a guy like Matt Hedges or Michael Barrios gets a B, it does not mean the rookie is better, it means they exceeded their expectations by a lot).
