Soccer Blog - Week 24

Hello, everybody, and welcome to another article of Super Soccer Ian. We had another exciting week with lots of incredible goals and high-scoring games. Let's get things started by reviewing the most recent results.

Round 23 Results

Things started off with a 2-0 win for the Houston Dynamo over the Philadelphia Union.  Then, Real Salt Lake got a 2-1 win over the Seattle Sounders, and the Montréal Impact beat the Chicago Fire 1-
0. The Columbus Crew got a 4-1 win over the LA Galaxy, and the Portland Timbers tied 1-1 with the NE Revolution. Toronto FC lost 4-1 to Sporting KC, and Chivas USA tied 0-0 with the Vancouver Whitecaps. FC Dallas won 5-0 on the road against the SJ Earthquakes, and DC United beat the Colorado Rapids 4-2. Those are the most recent results, and now, let's take a look at the upcoming schedule.

Upcoming Schedule

The first game of the round will be a matchup between the LA Galaxy and the Colorado Rapids. Then, the Seattle Sounders will face the SJ Earthquakes at home, and FC Dallas will play against Real Salt Lake. The NY Red Bulls will play host to the Montréal Impact, and Toronto FC will play the Chicago Fire. The Columbus Crew will play against the Houston Dynamo, and the NE Revolution will host Chivas USA. DC United will travel to play Sporting KC, and the LA Galaxy will host the Vancouver Whitecaps. The Cascadia Rivalry will take place at Providence Park as the Seattle Sounders play the Portland Timbers, and the final game of the round will be between the Philadelphia Union and SJ Earthquakes. That is the upcoming schedule, and now, let's take a look at my MLS Fantasy tips for this upcoming round.

MLS Fantasy Tips

Some teams have a double-game week, so you can definitely get lots of good MLS Fantasy points. I will definitely say that anybody on the LA Galaxy would be a good choice. Even though they got beaten by the Columbus Crew, they have a double-game week with some good fixtures. Robbie Keane, Landon Donovan, and Gyasi Zardes would all be good choices. Another player that might be good to pick up is Clint Dempsey. He hasn't been in top form lately, but he has a double-game week, and he's scored four goals in two games against the Portland Timbers. I think that he'd be a great choice for your fantasy team. One more player that you should get on your team is Bradley Wright-Phillips. He'll be playing at home against a weak Montréal Impact, and I wouldn't bet against him scoring a goal or two in that game.
