Hello, everybody, and welcome back to this year's first episode of Super Soccer Ian. I'm glad to be back, and the MLS sure had an exciting transfer season! Week one's schedule is pretty exciting. Let's take a look at the upcoming schedule.
Three teams have byes for this week, and they are Toronto, San Jose, and the Colorado Rapids. The first game will be the Seattle Sounders hosting the 2013 MLS Cup Champions, Sporting KC. Then, DC United will host the Columbus Crew, and the New York Red Bulls will travel to Vancouver to take on the Whitecaps. FC Dallas will host the Montréal Impact, the Houston Dynamo will host the NE Revolution, and Real Salt Lake will travel to play the LA Galaxy. Possibly one of the most exciting games will be when the Portland Timbers play the Philadelphia Union, and Chivas USA will host the Chicago Fire. Those are the games that will happen in week one. Now, let's take a look at my MLS Fantasy tips.
This is the first week of the 2014 season, and the first week for MLS Fantasy! Now is one of your best chances to rack up the points and hit the leaderboards! I would suggest getting Donovan Ricketts on your fantasy team. He had lots of shutouts next season, and they actually have back-to-back home games, and as we know from last season, the Timbers went on a home shutout streak. Another Portland defender that's on my team and that I think will have a great season is newcomer Norberto Paparatto. He's a physical defender with lots of size, and I think that with Valeri's excellent service, he could score from set pieces. Somebody that would be good on your fantasy team would be Obafemi Martins. He's got two home games coming up, and he has actually been predicted to be a 2014 MLS MVP candidate. He is worth quite a bit of money, at $9.5 million. Kenny Cooper wouldn't be bad, either. He's worth $7.5 million, and he'll likely get lots of playing time. Other good players that would be good for week one would be Diego Valeri, Mauro Rosales, Mike Magee, or Robbie Keane. Those are some fantasy tips from me. That's all for today, folks! Good luck with your MLS Fantasy, and I'm looking forward to an excellent 2014 season! Thanks for reading, and have a great day!
