Hello, everybody, and welcome to another article of Super Soccer Ian. With the playoffs coming up, the competition to get above the red line is intense. Let's get things started by reviewing the most recent results.

Things started off with a 2-1 win for the NE Revolution over the Houston Dynamo. Then, the Portland Timbers tied 0-0 with Real Salt Lake. Toronto FC tied 1-1 with the Montréal Impact, and FC Dallas beat the Colorado Rapids 1-0. DC United won 2-1 against the Chicago Fire, and the Philadelphia Union won 2-1 against Sporting KC. The Vancouver Whitecaps and SJ Earthquakes tied 0-0, and the Columbus Crew won 3-1 against the NY Red Bulls. The final game of the round was a 2-2 draw between the Seattle Sounders and LA Galaxy.

This will be the final regular-season round of 2014. The first game of the round will be between Real Salt Lake and Chivas USA. The Chicago Fire will play the Houston Dynamo, and the Seattle Sounders will once again play the LA Galaxy. This game will decide who wins the Supporter's Shield.

MLS Fantasy Tips

There are some good opportunities and games that you could earn lots of Fantasy points in. One player that I would recommend getting on your team is Ethan Finlay. He's been in excellent form lately, and he's only worth $6.2 million. I think that his final matchup against the Philadelphia Union is a good opportunity to finish the season strong, and he's a reliable player. Another player to look at would be Obafemi Martins. He got two assists against the LA Galaxy, and he will be playing at home against the LA Galaxy. Plus, the Galaxy will be without Omar Gonzalez, and I think that the Seattle Sounders will get a goal or two. One more player that I would definitely recommend adding to your squad and possibly giving the captain's armband would be Pedro Morales. He's been in good form, while the Colorado Rapids have not. The Rapids are winless in their last thirteen games, and I think that he might get goals and/or assists in that game.
