Week 8 Fantasy Review

Every week I bring my own take on each game and the notable fantasy standouts you should be keeping an eye going into the next week. Elite: Those who did better than their peers Value: Those who punched above their weight class in terms of price and who I expect to have potential moving forward Fluke: There’s not always a …

Week 1 Fantasy Review Pt 1

Value and the Right Spend Going into the week, players were making tough decisions between many of the top premium midfielders and forwards. No one would’ve called you stupid for picking any of these guys. However, the reality is, for the most part, you could’ve found better “valued” players that would’ve given you the same output for far less. For …

2019 Fantasy Newcomers Part 2

  For the Eastern Conference, see Pat 1 Welcome Fantasy Newcomers The general consensus is that the Western Conference is deeper this year than the Eastern Conference. That’s not to say the Supporter Shield winners won’t come from the East, just that more teams will be competitive in the West. Some teams brought in a whole new team (Vancouver Whitecaps) while …

2019 Fantasy Newcomers Part 1

Ibrahimovic, Rooney, Schweinsteiger are all names you know. These names can be tempting for the ridiculous expectations their names entail (Ibra did give us 21 goals & 10 assists in 2018 after all). As we enter MLS 3.0 though, the more common names coming to MLS are lesser known to the average MLS fan, but potentially more valuable to the …

Bold Predictions Round 18

If you followed my advice on picks you were probably a happy camper. Virtually all of Atlanta did well assuming you went with Asad, Almiron, Martinez or any defense. However, they didn’t obliterate their opponents and even lost to DCU, which was appalling, but let’s not kid ourselves, they were dominating that game and then a giveaway cost them the …

Bold Predictions Round 17

My biggest takeaway from 16 is that LA truly suck at home and Alessandrini is the MVP. Moving on we have SKC’s defense is legit (but that attack needs to pull it together) and ATL is going to the Eastern Conference Finals if not all the way to the MLS Cup. Boy did I almost nail that ATL-CLB scoreline. If …

Bold Predictions Round 16

Well Round 14 was a doozy. There may be some angry readers out there who followed my gut, but all I have to say is you win some and lose some. But man was Round 14 rough. I mean RSL got destroyed. I was definitely in need of a break in Round 15 and thankfully there were hardly any games …

Bold Predictions Round 14

Let’s see how last week went. Minnesota and Ramirez did almost exactly as expected and I still think Ramirez could’ve come away with a brace, but let’s not focus on that. Minnesota got a huge win against Orlando at home and if you listened to me and picked up Ramirez you were happy. As for New England, if you listened …
