Already clinched the highest ever #cf97 season attendance, since they have already drawn more fans this year than all of last year.

Already clinched the highest ever #cf97 season attendance, since they have already drawn more fans this year than all of last year.
This keeps the #cf97 average above 26k for the season.
With a penultimate midweek Soldier Field game & a final game in Bridgeview the last week of October, it is possible that average drops below 25k, but it is unlikely since that would require fewer than 26k cumulative across both games.

11 out of 10 analysts agree: Your chances of winning go up if you play have at least as many players as your opponent.
Also thoughts on why Gutman isn't playing and the Fire's center-back pool.
The Fire fizzle out in one of their toughest matches of the year, facing Philly Phenom Cavan Sullivan at Soldier Field, and earning their second red card in as many matches.
Asking Questions: Chicago Fire Lose to Philadelphia Union
-What's with the lineup? Where's Gutman?
-Why don't they sub differently?
-How do you beat Philly in the playoffs?
...and more!

Caveats: this isn't really statistically significant, small samples, all that.
Either way, whether it's him, the players around him, or the coaching (and the buck stops at the coach, or the sporting director. Oh wait...), this team isn't better for his addition.

The Fire are 1-3-2 (W-D-L) when Lewandowski has played a full 90 minutes, 4-3-4 when he's played >45 minutes, and 2-1-1 when played less or didn't feature at all.
Statistically, every Lewy minute redeuces the Fire's PPG by 0.013, or 1.13 per 90.

Chicago Fire FC: 1 (0.84 xG) vs Philadelphia Union: 3 (2.23 xG) #CHIvPHI | #CF97 | #DOOP | #MLS | 🤖⚽
Just over here arguing with myself about Lewandowski's heat map vs. Philly.
Point: He's playing too deep.
Counterpoint: Gameplan was to get the ball to the wingers, and a deep lying Lewy allows MHS freedom in the box.
