road against the SJ Earthquakes, and the Seattle Sounders won 4-1 against the Colorado Rapids on the road. The Chicago Fire tied 0-0 with the Montréal Impact, and Chivas USA got a shocking 1-0 win over Real Salt Lake. Now, let's take a look at the upcoming schedule.

MLS Fantasy Tips
There are some good opportunities to get lots of points, but be sure to look at which players will be questionable and/or unavailable due to international duty. One player that should be on your radar is Obafemi Martins. He's earned an average of about eleven points per game in his last three, and if you get him, he should definitely be wearing the captain's armband. Another player to look at is Bobby Boswell on DC United. He's been consistent lately, recently getting a clean sheet against Sporting KC. I think that DC will have a tougher matchup on the road against Houston, but their defense has been consistent, and I think that he might get some points on their back line. One more player that you should consider is Ethan Finlay on the Columbus Crew. The Crew will be playing against the Philadelphia Union, who have not been in the greatest form lately. Finlay has been in good form, and I think he might get a goal or an assist against the Union.
