re: David Beckham wants to scrap MLS salary cap

At a certain point having too many DPs just deepens the big gap between an MLS star and then 23rd man on the bench. This is why MLS teams typically get throttled in the CONCACAF Champions League because there's a enormous gap between starting Robbie Keane or even someone like Will Johnson and rotating in someone like Peterson Joseph or Péguy Luyindula.

Yep. Teams can't afford quality depth with the system now.



You could argue that transfermarkt undervalues MLS/American players, which I do think is a small part, but this difference is the reason no MLS team has won the CCL.
