Soccer Blog - Week 30

Hello, everybody, and welcome to another article of Super Soccer Ian. We had another thrilling week of soccer, and we have another exciting one coming up! Playoffs are nearing, and there's lots to get to, so let's get started by reviewing the most recent results.

Round 29 Results

The first game of the round was a 5-1 win for Real Salt Lake over the Colorado Rapids. Then, the Portland Timbers won 3-0 against the Vancouver Whitecaps, and the Philadelphia Union tied 0-0 with the Houston Dynamo. The Columbus Crew won 1-0 against the NE Revolution, and the Montréal Impact got a 2-0 win against the SJ Earthquakes. The Seattle Sounders lost 4-1, and BWP

got his third hat-trick, and the Chicago Fire tied 3-3 with DC United. The LA Galaxy won 2-1 against FC Dallas, and Toronto FC beat Chivas USA 3-0. Now, let's take a look at the upcoming schedule.

Upcoming Schedule

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

MLS Fantasy Tips

There are a few good opportunities to get points, and there are also some important and good fixtures coming up. One player that I think would be a good choice this round is Clint Dempsey. He's pricey at $10.5, but he's gotten good points lately, and I think because he has a double-game week, I think he might get extra points. Another player that may be sort of a risky yet effective choice would be Fanendo Adi. He's only $6.1 million, and he got two goals against Vancouver. I think that he would be a good choice for the little money. Another good choice on the same team would be Diego Valeri. He's gotten an average of about thirteen points per game in his last three, and I think that he would be a good player to captain. One more player that I think would be a good choice is Robbie Keane. He got twelve points last week against FC Dallas, and I think that he might get even more at home against the NY Red Bulls. Those are my MLS Fantasy tips for this week.

Soccer Blog - Week 28

Hello, everybody, and welcome to another article of Super Soccer Ian. We had another exciting week of soccer, and there were some big and notable games in MLS. Let's get things started by reviewing the most recent results.

Round 27 Results

The first game was a 2-2 draw between the Montréal Impact and the LA Galaxy. Then, the NY Red Bulls beat DC United 1-0, and the Vancouver Whitecaps won 2-0 against the SJ Earthquakes. Sporting KC beat Chivas USA on the road 4-0, and the Seattle Sounders won late against 10-men Real Salt Lake 3-2. The Philadelphia Union tied with the NY Red Bulls 2-2, and the NE Revolution got a 2-1 win against the Montréal Impact. The Chicago Fire tied 1-1 with Toronto FC, and the Vancouver Whitecaps lost 2-1 to FC Dallas. The Houston Dynamo tied 2-2 with the Columbus Crew, and the Portland Timbers also tied 2-2, tying with the Colorado Rapids. The final game of the round was a 1-1 draw between the SJ Earthquakes and LA Galaxy. Now, let's take a look at the upcoming schedule.

Upcoming Schedule

In the next round, things will start off with a matchup between Real Salt lake and the Colorado Rapids. Then, the Portland Timbers will play the Vancouver Whitecaps, which will not only be an exciting game, but it will likely determine which of those teams makes the playoffs. The Philadelphia

Union will play the Houston Dynamo, and the Columbus Crew will play the NE Revolution. The Montréal Impact will host the SJ Earthquakes, and the Seattle Sounders will travel to play the NY Red Bulls. The Chicago Fire will play DC United, and the LA Galaxy will play FC Dallas, another important playoff game. The final match of the round will be between Toronto FC and Chivas USA.

MLS Fantasy Tips

There are some good opportunities to get lots of MLS Fantasy points, and I have a few tips to share with everybody. One player that I think should be on your team is Jermaine Jones. The USMNT star has gotten 15 points in his three games with the Revs, and for only $8.4 million, I think he's a steal. Another player that you should consider getting is Sebastien Le Toux. He's been in great form lately, and he's only worth $8.2 million. With twelve goals and six assists on the season, I think that more people should own him by now. One last player that I will suggest getting is Javier Morales. He got a goal against Seattle, and he's averaged nine points per game in his last three. He's pricey at $10.8 million, but he's still a good player to have on your team at home against the Colorado Rapids. Those are my MLS Fantasy tips for this upcoming round.

Answer to Last Week's Question of the Week: Dillon Powers

This Week's Question of the Week: Which Real Salt Lake player played in Lanús at the same time as Portland Timbers players Norberto Paparatto and Diego Valeri?

MLS Fantasy Tips

We have another busy round coming up, and this will be a double-game week for lots of MLS teams. One player that I think would be a good choice would be Obafemi Martins. He got two goals against Chivas USA, and I think that he might get some good Fantasy points at home against Real Salt Lake. Another player that should definitely be on everybody's team by now is Landon Donovan. In his last three, he's averaged 17 points per game! If you don't have him on your team as your captain, then you're probably making a mistake. He's arguably the hottest and in-form player in MLS right now. Staying with the LA Galaxy, Gyasi Zardes would also be a good player to have on your team. In his last two games, he's gotten 28 points. He'd be a great player to get for $8.1 million. One last player that might be a good choice is Alvas Powell on the Portland Timbers. While he's only gotten 33 points this whole season, 25 of them have been in his last two games. He's scored two in two, and I think he might get assists, too because he gets forward so much. Those are my MLS Fantasy tips for this upcoming round.

Soccer Blog - Week 26

Hello, everybody, and welcome to another article of Super Soccer Ian. We had a great week of soccer, with lots of goals and great games. Let's take a look at the most recent results.

Round 25 Results

Things started off with a 4-1 win for the LA Galaxy over DC United, and 3-1 win for the Houston Dynamo over Sporting KC. Then, the Seattle Sounders got a 1-0 win over the Colorado Rapids, and

the NE Revolution won 3-0 over Toronto FC. The Montréal Impact got a 2-0 win over the Columbus Crew, and FC Dallas lost 1-0 to the Chicago Fire. The SJ Earthquakes tied 1-1 with Real Salt Lake, and the Portland Timbers beat the Vancouver Whitecaps 3-0. DC United won 2-0 over the NY Red Bulls, and the LA Galaxy got a 3-0 win against Chivas USA. Now, let's take a look at the upcoming schedule.

Upcoming Schedule

The first game of the next round will be between the Philadelphia Union and Toronto FC. The NE Revolution will then play Sporting KC, and the Seattle Sounders will travel to play Chivas USA. The LA Galaxy will play the Colorado Rapids, and Toronto FC will host the Philadelphia Union. The NY Red Bulls will play Sporting KC, and the Houston Dynamo and Montréal Impact will face off. Real Salt Lake will play FC Dallas, and the Vancouver Whitecaps and DC United will clash at BC Place. The Columbus Crew will host Chivas USA, and the Portland Timbers will play the SJ Earthquakes. The final game of the round will be between the Chicago Fire and NE Revolution. Now, let's take a look at the upcoming schedule.

MLS Fantasy Tips

There are some good opportunities to get lots of Fantasy points this round. One player that I'm thinking would be a good choice would be either Chad Marshall or Stefan Frei. The Sounders got a clean sheet against the Colorado Rapids, and Chivas USA will be without Erick "el Cubo" Torres, meaning that they may not score goals easily. I'd expect a shutout from the Sounders in that game. Another player to consider would be Landon Donovan. He's pricey at $11.6 million, but he's very reliable with getting points, and he's earned 29 points in his last two games! I think that he'd be a great choice at home against the Colorado Rapids. One more player that I recommend getting is Brad Davis. He had two assists against Sporting KC, and the Montréal Impact defense has not been good. I think that the Dynamo might get a goal or two in that game, and Brad Davis will likely make something happen. Those are my MLS Fantasy tips for this upcoming round.
