MLS Fantasy Boss A Fantasy MLS Community
Unlike Gameweek 18, not *all* of the players you want on your fantasy team are out with injuries or rotation.
[break[- Valeri: Will Start per Porter
- Sjoberg: Broke his wrist in match versus Vancouver BUT is going to wear a cast and should play this weekend because he knows he’s important to our fantasy teams.
- Piatti: Suspended by DisCo for NYCFC match.
- Drogba: Trained today, seems a go for Sunday.
- Dempsey: Suspended for Red Card
- Ciman: Out for NYCFC match for tear in the ankle
- Kaka: Out; didn’t travel with the team.
- Plata/Olave: Cassar says they’ll be available, but was deliberately vague about whether they’ll be starters or subs. Both risky plays.
- Union guys (Sapong, LeToux, Barnetta, Ilsinho): All trained without restrictions.
- Zusi: questionable
- Coelho: reinjured same hamstring and is out this weekend. SKC is concerned that hamstring they thought had healed was reinjured so quickly.
- Loyd: Out with concussion
- Figueroa: Suspended for red card
- Altidore: No clear news, but my guess he’s not playing this weekend based on Toronto’s coyness.
- Mataritta: Did not train on Thursday due to undisclosed injury. Same is true for Khiry Shelton.
Long-term injury updates
- Mattocks: Timeline moved up to 6-8 weeks from 8-10 weeks
- Higuain: back training
- Goodson: out for season with back surgery
- Shannon Gomez (NYCFC): Out for the season with ACL injury.
Yellow Card accumulation
- Brek Shea is out this week.
- A number of big names that are one away: Steres, Villa, Sjoberg, Allen, and Barnetta.
