Soccer Blog - Week 4

Hello, everybody, and welcome to another post of Super Soccer Ian. We had another exciting week, and there were some pretty big wins and losses. Let's take a look at the results!

Recap

The first game of the round was between the NE Revolution and Vancouver Whitecaps, which resulted in a 0-0 draw. Believe it or not, the Revs are still looking for their first goal of the season! Real Salt Lake tied with the LA Galaxy 1-1, and Toronto FC beat DC United 1-0. The Colorado Rapids beat the Portland Timbers 2-0 and the Columbus Crew won 2-1 against the Philadelphia Union. FC Dallas beat Chivas USA 3-1, and Sporting KC won 1-0 against the SJ Earthquakes. The Chicago Fire tied 1-1 with the NY Red Bulls, and finally, the Seattle Sounders won 2-0 on the road against the Montréal Impact. Those were the results from Week 3, and now, let's take a look at the upcoming fixtures.

Upcoming Matches

Only one team has a bye in Week 4, and that's the LA Galaxy. First up, DC United will host the Chicago Fire, who have Mike Magee back in their lineup. The Montréal Impact will travel to play the Philadelphia Union, and the Colorado Rapids will host Sporting KC. The Vancouver Whitecaps will play the Houston Dynamo, and FC Dallas will play the Portland Timbers. Real Salt Lake will host Jermain Defoe and Toronto FC. The Seattle Sounders will play the Columbus Crew, and the SJ Earthquakes will host the NE Revolution. The final game of the round will be between the NY Red Bulls and Chivas USA. Those are the upcoming fixtures, and now, let's take a look at my MLS Fantasy tips.

MLS Fantasy Tips

At this point in the season, you should definitely be taking a look at which players' values are increasing or decreasing. This can strongly affect your team's overall value. One player that I think can get you points based on his recent performance and upcoming schedule is Mauro Díaz on FC Dallas. He scored a beautiful free kick against Montréal, and I think that he can get you assists, along with goals. Another player that might not be a bad choice would be Jeff Larentowicz. The Chicago Fire are playing DC United, and Larentowicz is a very strong force in the defensive midfielder position, and he might possibly get a goal, since he scored against DC United last season. A player that I would actually suggest trading is Diego Valeri. He had an excellent season last year, but his value is going down, and he hasn't done anything yet. He is worth $10.4 million, and that kind of money can easily get you somebody else that would continue to get you points, such as Mauro Rosales or Kyle Beckerman. That's my advice for this upcoming round with MLS Fantasy.
