then won 2-0 over the NY Red Bulls, and DC United tied 1-1 with the Montréal Impact. The NE Revolution won 5-3 on the road against the Philadelphia Union, and FC Dallas tied 1-1 with Chivas USA. The Houston Dynamo beat the LA Galaxy 1-0, and Real Salt Lake won 2-1 against the Colorado Rapids. The Seattle Sounders beat the SJ Earthquakes 1-0, and the 10-men Portland Timbers come back against the Columbus Crew to tie 3-3. The Chicago Fire then won 2-1 over Sporting KC. Those are the most recent results, and now, let's take a look at the upcoming schedule.

Upcoming Schedule

This will be another one of those rounds when some teams have double games. The first game will be between DC United and the Houston Dynamo. The LA Galaxy will then play FC Dallas, and Sporting KC will host Toronto FC. The NY Red Bulls will host the Portland Timbers, and the Seattle Sounders and Vancouver Whitecaps will clash at BC Place. The Columbus Crew will host the Chicago Fire, and the NE Revolution will play DC United. The Colorado Rapids will play the Montréal Impact, and Real Salt Lake will clash with FC Dallas. The Philadelphia Union will be on the road to play the LA Galaxy, and the final game of the round will be between the SJ Earthquakes and Houston Dynamo. That is the upcoming schedule, and now, let's take a look at my MLS Fantasy tips.

MLS Fantasy Tips

This is another double game week for some teams, which is a good opportunity to get some of those big point earners and rack up the points. One player that I'm definitely looking at is David Horst. He's only $6.6 million, and he's averaged about six points per game in his last three. Plus, he has a double game week. He is someone you should absolutely get on your fantasy team. Another player that you should get is Obafemi Martins. Yes, he's playing on the road, but the Whitecaps will be without Steven Beitashour, who's one of their main defensive generators. He put on a great show against San Jose, and in his last three games, he's been averaging about seven points per game. I would also suggest getting Javier Morales. He will be playing at home against an FC Dallas team that are winless in their last five, and have not been excellent on the road. Plus, Morales has averaged about fourteen points per game in his last three! He's your man to get you good points. Take a look at the schedule, pay attention to who's playing at home, and I think that this week has good opportunities to rack up the points.
