Upcoming Schedule

The first match of the round will be the California Clasíco. The SJ Earthquakes will face off against the LA Galaxy. Then, the Philadelphia Union will play the Montréal Impact, and the Columbus Crew will host Toronto FC. FC Dallas will play the Colorado Rapids, and Real Salt Lake will host DC United. The Portland Timbers will host Chivas USA at home, and the NY Red Bulls will play the Chicago Fire. Sporting KC will play the Vancouver Whitecaps, and the Sounders will then play the Houston Dynamo. Now, let's take a look at my MLS Fantasy tips for this upcoming round.

MLS Fantasy Tips

There are some good opportunities this round to get lots of good MLS Fantasy points, and I have lots of tips to give to everybody. One player that I got on my team is Robbie Keane. He has been in excellent form lately, averaging about eight points per game in his last three. He would be a good player to captain for this round. Another player that you should consider getting is Bradley Wright-Phillips. He's the current Golden Boot leader, and I wouldn't bet against him scoring against Chicago. If you want to get an inexpensive player that's good to have, then I'd get Tesho Akindele on FC Dallas. He scored the winning goal against Chivas USA, and he's a great deal. He's only $4.8 million, has 54 points, and it's crazy that only 7.9% of managers own him. He will be playing at home against the Colorado Rapids. One more player that I just have to recommend is Gyasi Zardes. He's been in top form lately, scoring against the Sounders and Portland, and he's relatively inexpensive at $7.1 million. Those are my MLS Fantasy tips for this round. Be sure to take a look at the fixtures and upcoming schedule, and make smart choices based on that.
