Six teams were able to keep clean sheets this week, which make it pretty decent for keepers.  The International call-ups really hurt many defenses, especially those who lost keepers, yeah I’m looking at you Chicago…OUCH! A couple of the big names are on bye this week and a few tough matches makes it hard to find some standout picks. Big …

Originally I said I would not be updating the values for team difficulty on this chart. But I have reconsidered that and plan to update some of the lower teams after week 6. If anyone would like to participate in this process, there will be a post on the r/FantasyMLS subreddit about it in the coming weeks. This chart displays …

I saw several posts this week (on various subreddits) where people were talking about how hard they got hit by the International call-ups. We were lucky enough avoid injuries and were able to field a full team this week, but it took a trade last week to ensure that. Planning for future weeks is definitely an important part of fantasy …

Oh what a difference a day can make. In the first draft of this post, Brad Davis was listed as one of the “Big 3” picks below. It only made sense since he, surprisingly, did not get called up to the USMNT. Then… he got called up. SO! After a quick revision, the new list is ready to go. My …

  Several teams have taken a beating this week when it comes to their defenders (Thanks WCQ!) and Real Salt Lake leads that list. The loss of defenders could be a big blow to managers this week, but forwards have also left, so some teams may not be a strong on the attack. Checkout the list here! Big 3 Aurélien …

A lot of 1-1 games this past week left many people cursing their TVs this week as they watched their clean sheet points disappear. But that happens. There are a couple of things I want to point out before we get into the article, 1) International duty is here. So make sure you keeper is not off representing his country …
