One of the hardest fantasy decisions I have all year is not who to draft but which MLS Fantasy leagues will I join. We’re limited to 15 private leagues (total Classic and H2H) so it can be a tough decision, especially if you’re looking for tough competition or leagues that offer prizes.
To help make your decision easier, I’ve compiled a list of recommended fantasy leagues. There are new leagues popping up each day, so this is not a comprehensive list, but this will help give new and recurring layers a place to start.
Not all of these leagues offer prizes, but they are all run by well-respected organizations. So feel safe if they ask for info and at least be ready for fun. If you have your own league, or want an even longer list, head over to r/FantasyMLS and check out the private league recruitment and advertisement thread.
Be sure to check back to the recommended fantasy leagues section of MLSFB for any updates.
Remember, a $200 gift card will be awarded to the highest scoring team owners in leagues with 750 or more unique, eligible players before March 29, 2017 at 5:00PM ET.

Just commented on chat but didn’t want it to get lost. I honestly don’t mind not being in the Patreon league but still want to donate. Your podcasts make work a little better every week:
Last year I donated $20 instead of Patreon since I wanted a lump sum instead of a monthly withdrawal. It ended up being a well worth it 20% of my winnings made off friends (I really do enjoy the podcast almost as much as winning). Is that still an option for giving something back? Do I need to up it to get in on the Patreon league?
Ron,
Thanks so much for wanting to contribute to our projects. You should be able to make a donation using the PayPal donate button near the bottom of the sidebar.
Ah… that’s it. I thought it was on this page somewhere but didn’t initially see it on mobile.
Good luck!
