Hello everybody and welcome to Episode 4 of Super Soccer Ian. We had some pretty big matches last round, and there were some pretty big results. The first match of the round was between the Houston Dynamo and Sporting KC. The game produced nothing but a 0-0 draw. The San Jose Earthquakes beat the Colorado Rapids 1-0 because of a Chris Wondolowski goal. The Sounders lost to the Vancouver Whitecaps 4-1 at home, which was pretty bad for them. The Montréal Impact were also beaten at home by the New England Revolution. It was a 1-0 loss. The Philadelphia Union tied 1-1 with DC United, and Jack McInerney ended his goal-scoring drought. FC Dallas fell 3-2 to the Chicago Fire, and the Sounders lost on the road 1-0 to the Portland Timbers. Now, let’s take a look at next week’s matchups. 

The first game will be the LA Galaxy versus the Montréal Impact, at StubHub Center. Sporting KC will host DC United, and the Impact will host the Philadelphia Union. This time, the Montréal Impact have a double header, as well as the LA Galaxy. FC Dallas will host the Seattle Sounders, and the Vancouver Whitecaps will travel to Colorado to take on the Rapids. The New England Revolution will host the Columbus Crew, and Toronto FC will travel to Chicago to take on the Fire. The Portland Timbers will host Real Salt Lake, and the Houston Dynamo will take on the New York Red Bulls. The final game of the round is the California Clasico, the LA Galaxy versus the San Jose Earthquakes. Now, let’s take a look at the MLS Fantasy picks for this coming round. 

If you are an MLS Fantasy member, then you should definitely consider choosing somebody on the Montréal Impact, since they have two games this next round. So, I suggest you choose somebody like Marco Di Vaio because he can definitely rack up points, no matter who he’s playing against. Also, you can consider somebody such as Mike Magee or possibly Sean Johnson. The Fire are hosting Toronto FC, and I think that Magee can score a goal or two against them. With Sean Johnson, Toronto FC is a team that hasn’t scored a lot of goals, and I think that you could expect a shutout for Chicago. Like I said about Montréal, you should also consider somebody on the Galaxy, since they have two games this weekend, as well. Somebody really to consider this week would be Aurélien Collin at home, against DC United. He is a strong defender and also a threat in front of goal. Anybody on Sporting KC would be considerable, such as Jimmy Nielsen, Soony Saad, or Claudio Bieler. They are great choices. Now, let’s take a look at the 3 Goal Monte picks for this coming round.

With 3 Goal Monte this round, I think that there are some pretty good matchups to rack up points. I think, that somebody on Sporting KC would be good, such as Claudio Bieler, or possibly Soony Saad. Marco Di Vaio, at home, against the Philadelphia Union would be a great choice. I think you could expect a goal or two from him. Last time the Impact took on the Union at home, it was a 5-3 win, and Marco Di Vaio had a hat trick. I think that Mike Magee would be a great choice, or maybe a striker for New England, such as Diego Fagundez. A striker for the LA Galaxy would be considerable, I think. Those are my picks for this coming round. That’s all for today, folks! Good luck with your MLS Fantasy and 3 Goal Monte, and I’ll be back next week for the next episode of Super Soccer Ian!
