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.
