Player Positional Rankings: MLS Fantasy Round 6

We enthusiastically welcome back a ton of international players for MLS Fantasy Round 6. This is the final round in the first qualifying window for Fantasy Champions League (FCL), and many of us are on the cusp of making the cut. If you’re one of those managers, you’re probably wondering how to differentiate your squad from the rest of the field to help you get in. This is the part where I enthusiastically suggest that you carefully consider one or two sleeper picks for your squad. Remember, each bona fide sleeper pick comes with my personal non-guarantee, along with a healthy dose of risk-induced anxiety. But hey, this is what makes it fun, right?

• Teams on a DGW: None
• Teams on a BYE: None
