Los Angeles FC Tops the MLS Crime Index Table
Average Crime Index per team across every reviewed match this season — how often a team's results diverge from what xG says they deserved. A high average doesn't mean foul play: it can mean a run of goalkeeping heroics, freakishly clinical finishing, or simply a team the stats keep robbing. Only teams with at least three reviewed matches are included — a single outlier match would otherwise skew a team's spot in the ranking. What Crime Index is and how it's calculated — full methodology.

This table is the MLS Crime Index team ranking. Read the average Crime Index to compare each team’s overall result across its listed matches, then use the peak Crime Index to identify the highest single-match anomaly. The ranking includes 17 teams and brings together both team-level averages and match-level peaks.
Los Angeles FC leads both measures
Los Angeles FC has the highest average Crime Index in MLS, recording 76% across 3 matches. That result puts Los Angeles FC at the top of the team ranking by average Crime Index.
The league’s most anomalous single match also belongs to Los Angeles FC. Its peak Crime Index reached 92%, giving the same team the highest reported match-level value.
Average and peak in context
The 76% average summarizes Los Angeles FC across 3 matches. The 92% peak highlights one match rather than the full set of matches. These figures should be read separately: the average indicates the team’s ranking position, while the peak identifies the league’s highest single-match anomaly. Together, they show that Los Angeles FC leads MLS in both the highest average Crime Index and the highest peak Crime Index.
