As most managers are probably starting to figure out, Midfielders are the cash cows of fantasy MLS. You don’t have to worry about the -4 from a goal, but you can still rack up bonus points, goals, and assists. They really can be the whole package, if you are able to pick the right ones. This was a particularly hard …

Just like keepers, defenders had a pretty good this week thanks to several clean sheets. That’s always a good result when your team is worrying about loosing players to International duty. But everyone should be back for week 5, unless injured, and this should help defenses perform more to expectations.  Keep in mind that Columbus and DC are not playing …

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 …

International duty, what a bitch right? A lot of the best go-to captains are either injured, on a bye, or on international duty. The only good thing about that means that the list is short this week.  Keep reading for the list.

If you have not heard by now, LA and Seattle have had their MLS regular season schedule changes a bit so it’s a bit more friendly to that CONCACAF Champions League matches (LINK). I’ve updated the Difficulty Chart and the No Game & DGW charts on the resources page. Of course, here’s the Difficulty chart here. Special thanks to MooseKens …

Forwards have been pretty hit of miss so far this season. In a couple of the fantasy circles we hang around in, people have been talking about the benefits of the 4-5-1 and 5-4-1 formations. It’s worth a look and we’ll try to address it in a future post. For now… there are some forwards who could have some good …

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 …
