Points per Game + Goal Diff (MLS)

It's not unusual for Major League Soccer's regular season schedule to be interrupted by one event or another (example: Montreal won't play their 5th game until week 10 of the season). As such, looking at normal standings doesn't tell you jack squat (same with most other North American leagues, to be honest - giant pet peeve of mine). It makes it hard to determine who is doing well and who isn't.

Yesterday, everybody in the league passed the ever important 5 game mark (except for Montreal). Below is each team's Points per Game + Overall Goal Difference avg. I like looking at it this way to give teams some separation and paint a better picture of who is doing well this early in the year.
