While it’s framed in terms of MLS and the Sounders, I thought the metrics might be interesting to a broader audience, although it’d likely take some tweaking to apply to FFP rather than the MLS salary cap

Before we begin to take a look at these stats, let me frame them with the question you should ask yourself when looking at each one.

TERS+: How stable is a team’s “core” over a period of time (we’ll just be looking at full-seasons)

TER$+: What’s the quality of a team’s “core”

TERP$+: Is a team under or overperforming their true level based on their quality and health of its “core?”

TERP$+ Differential: Should a team have expected to perform the way they?
