Hello, everyone, and welcome back to the latest article of Super Soccer Ian. We had a very exciting final week of MLS regular season soccer, and now, the playoffs have begun. Let's get started by reviewing the most recent results in the playoffs.

The first match was a 2-1 win for DC United over the NE Revolution. The Seattle Sounders then got a shocking 3-2 win over the LA Galaxy, and the Montréal Impact beat Toronto FC 3-0. The final match of the round was the game between the Portland Timbers and Sporting KC, which Portland

First, DC United will play the NY Red Bulls. Then,  the Portland Timbers will play the Vancouver Whitecaps, and the Montréal Impact will play the Columbus Crew. The round will conclude with a matchup between the Seattle Sounders and FC Dallas. There's the upcoming schedule, and there is no MLS Fantasy apparently in the playoffs anymore, so that will conclude today's article.

Soccer Blog - Week 28

Hello, everybody, and welcome back to the newest article of Super Soccer Ian. It was a short and somewhat dull round recently, but excitement is guaranteed next round, since several teams will have double-headers, and no teams will have byes. Let's get things started by reviewing the most recent match results.

The first match of the round was a 2-1 win for the NY Red Bulls over the Montréal Impact. Then, the Vancouver Whitecaps tied 0-0 with FC Dallas, and the Colorado Rapids lost 1-0 to the Montréal Impact. Those are the most recent results, so now, let's take a peek at the upcoming schedule.

The next round will begin with a matchup between Toronto FC and the NY Red Bulls. Then, FC

Dallas will play the Vancouver Whitecaps, and Real Salt Lake will face the Portland Timbers. Orlando City SC will host NY City FC, and the SJ Earthquakes will playa against Sporting KC. The Columbus Crew will travel to play Toronto FC, and the NE Revolution and Montréal Impact will face off. Then, Real Salt Lake hosts FC Dallas, and DC United will face the Chicago Fire. The NY Red Bulls and Philadelphia Union will face off at Red Bull Arena, and the Houston Dynamo will play the Seattle Sounders. The match will conclude with matches between the LA Galaxy and Portland Timbers, and Sporting KC versus the Colorado Rapids. That's the upcoming schedule, so now, let's look at my MLS Fantasy tips for this upcoming round.

Because of the fact that there are plenty of double-headers, this could be your lucky round. One player that you should keep under your radar right now is Sacha Kljestan. In his last three games, he's earned seven points in each game, and I think that the Red Bulls' schedule looks favorable. Another player to take a look at is Evan Bush. He's earned an average of six points per game in his last three, and I think that for just $5.5 million he's a great deal. He may not have a double-header, but he's definitely a solid starter, or maybe a good backup goalkeeper for your team. One more player that I'd recommend adding to your squad is Matt Hedges. FC Dallas has had good defense lately, and he's definitely their main man on the backline. Not only that, but he could definitely get forward and score some aerial goals for his team. I think that he'd be a great defender to have on your fantasy squad. Those are my MLS Fantasy tips for this upcoming round.

Soccer Blog - Week 26

Hello, everyone, and welcome back to the latest article of Super Soccer Ian. We had a very exciting week with lots of games to watch and lots of goals, too. Let's get started by reviewing the most recent results.

The first match of the round was a 2-1 win for the NE Revolution over the NY Red Bulls. Then, NY City FC won 2-0 against Toronto FC, and the Montréal Impact tied 1-1 with the SJ Earthquakes. Sporing KC beat FC Dallas 3-1, and Toronto FC won 3-1 against the Colorado Rapids. DC United lost at home 2-1 to the Columbus Crew, and NY City FC won 3-2 over the SJ Earthquakes. The Seattle Sounders got a 3-0 win over the Vancouver Whitecaps to take home the Cascadia Cup, and

the Montréal Impact got a 3-0 win over the NE Revolution. Orlando City SC won 1-0 on the road against the Chicago Fire, and Real Salt Lake beat the LA Galaxy 3-0. The Portland Timbers lost 2-0 against the NY Red Bulls, and the Philadelphia Union earned a 2-0 victory over the Houston Dynamo. Now, let's take a peek at the upcoming schedule.

The first matchup of the round will be between the Montréal Impact and the Chicago Fire, and then, the Houston Dynamo will face Sporting KC. The NY Red Bulls will host Orlando City SC, and Toronto FC will play the Chicago Fire. DC United will travel to play the Montréal Impact, and the Portland Timbers will play the Columbus Crew. Then, the NE Revolution will play the Philadelphia union, and the Houston Dynamo will face-off with the Colorado Rapids. The Vancouver Whitecaps will then face NY City FC, and Sporting KC will play the Seattle Sounders. The final matches of the round will be between the SJ Earthquakes and Real Salt Lake, and the LA Galaxy will play FC Dallas. Those are the upcoming matches, so now, let's take a look at my MLS Fantasy tip for this upcoming round.

There are plenty of games coming up, so be sure to get your fantasy team ready when you can! One player that you should definitely take a look at is Kei Kamara. His stats for this season have been excellent, and he's been consistently scoring goals for the Crew. I think that he'd be a great player to have on your squad if you can afford him. Another player to look at is Ethan Finlay. He, too, has been consistently earning points, and his price is actually pretty good at being $9.3 million compared to his statistics. One last player to keep an eye on is Stefan Frei. He earned an incredible ten points against the Vancouver Whitecaps, and I wouldn't be surprised if he continues to keep clean sheets as the season progresses. Those are my MLS Fantasy tips for this upcoming round.

Soccer Blog - Week 24

Hello, everyone, and welcome back to the latest article of Super Soccer Ian. Although the last round was very short, it was still quite exciting, and there was an average of about four goals per game. Let's start things off by reviewing the results from the last round.

The first match of the last round was a 3-0 win for the NE Revolution over Orlando City SC. Then, the Montréal Impact got a thrilling 4-3 win over the Chicago Fire, and the Seattle Sounders beat Toronto FC 2-1. The Philadelphia Union won 2-1 against the SJ Earthquakes, and FC Dallas beat the

Columbus Crew 3-0. Those are the most recent results, so now, let's take a look at the upcoming schedule.

The next round will begin with a matchup between the Vancouver Whitecaps and the Colorado Rapids. Then, the Portland Timbers will play Sporting KC, and the NY Red Bulls will host the Chicago Fire. The Columbus Crew and Philadelphia Union will clash at PPL Park, and FC Dallas will play host to NY City FC. The Houston Dynamo will face Real Salt Lake, and the Colorado Rapids will play DC United. The LA Galaxy will host the Montréal Impact, and the Seattle Sounders will play on the road against the SJ Earthquakes. Toronto FC will then play the NE Revolution, and Orlando City SC will host Sporting KC. Those are the most recent results, so now, let's take a look at the upcoming schedule.

This next round will be a busy one, since there are no byes for any team, and some of the teams even have two matches to play. One player that'd be worth looking at is Jesse Gonzalez. Although he's only played in three games for Dallas, he is very inexpensive at $4.2 million, and he's already earned twenty points in those three games he's played in. Another player to keep under your radar is Didier Drogba. He scored three goals to win the game against the Chicago Fire last week, and I think that he'll be very dangerous against the Galaxy next round. He's pricey at $10.2 million, but I do believe that he will score more goals for his team. One last player to consider is Clint Dempsey. He came back with a bang last round, scoring once and adding an assist to his tally, and I think that with him back in the lineup, Seattle could win their next game against the Earthquakes. Those are my MLS Fantasy tips for this upcoming round.

Answer to Last Week's Question of the Week: Carlos Bocanegra

Soccer Blog - Week 23

Hello, everyone, and welcome back to another article of Super Soccer Ian. This most recent round was a great one, and I was very pleased to find out that I had been mentioned on Simon Borg's "Instant Replay" on MLS. You can watch it below.


Let's get things started by reviewing the most recent results.

The first match of the round was a 3-2 win for the Chicago Fire over the NY Red Bulls. Then, the Colorado Rapids beat the Houston Dynamo 2-1, and the SJ Earthquakes defeated the LA Galaxy 1-0.
Photo Credit: mlssoccer.com
NY City FC were beaten 2-1 by the Columbus Crew, and Toronto FC won 2-1 against the Montréal Impact. The NE Revolution won 1-0 on the road against the Philadelphia Union, and the Chicago Fire drew 1-1 with Orlando City SC. The Colorado Rapids then won 2-1 against Sporting KC, and FC Dallas beat Real Salt lake 2-0. The Houston Dynamo also won 2-0 against the Vancouver Whitecaps, and the Seattle Sounders defeated the rival Portland Timbers 2-1. The final match of the round was a 3-0 win for the NY Red Bulls over DC United. Those are the most recent results, so now, let's take a look at the upcoming schedule.

The next round will be a brief one, with only five games. The first game will be between the NE Revolution and Orlando City SC. Then, the Montréal Impact will play the Chicago Fire, and the Seattle Sounders will host Toronto FC. The SJ Earthquakes and Philadelphia Union will face off, and the Columbus Crew will play host to FC Dallas. That's the upcoming schedule, so now, let's take a look at my MLS Fantasy tips.

You should definitely be sure to make substitutions as soon as possible and transfer wisely, since this will be a very short round. One player that I would recommend getting is Brad Evans. He had a great game against the Timbers, scoring once, and he might be able to do more of the same against Toronto FC. Another player that you should take a look at is David Bingham. He's been very consistent this season, and I think that the Quakes have a good chance of getting a shutout at home against the Union. One more player to consider adding to your fantasy squad is Obafemi Martins. I've recommended him many times before, but I seriously think that he'll be a great player to keep on your team for the rest of the season. He played very well against the Timbers, and I wouldn't bet against him doing it again against Toronto. Those are my MLS Fantasy tips for this upcoming round.

Soccer Blog - Week 21

Hello, everyone, and welcome back to another article of Super Soccer Ian. We once again had a very exciting week of soccer, and the wins and losses are becoming more important, since the playoffs are nearing. Let's get things started by reviewing the most recent results.

The first game of the round was a 3-1 win for NY City FC over DC United. Then, the SJ Earthquakes won 1-0 against the Colorado Rapids, and the NY Red Bulls won 3-0 over Toronto FC. The NE Revolution earned a 2-0 win over the Houston Dynamo, and the LA Galaxy pulled off a 2-1 win over

FC Dallas. Sporting KC won 4-3 in a thrilling game, and the Portland Timbers got a late 1-0 win against Real Salt Lake. The Seattle Sounders defeated Orlando City SC 4-0, and the Philadelphia Union tied 3-3 with the Chicago Fire. Those are the most recent results, so now, let's look at the upcoming schedule.

The next round will begin with a matchup between the Columbus Crew and NY City FC. Then, Sporting KC will play the SJ Earthquakes, and the Portland Timbers will host the Houston Dynamo. Toronto FC will host Orlando City SC, and then, DC United will play the SJ Earthquakes. The Columbus Crew will play Sporting KC, and the Montréal Impact will face the Philadelphia Union. The Chicago Fire will play host to the Colorado Rapids, and Real Salt Lake will face the Seattle Sounders. Then, the Vancouver Whitecaps will face FC Dallas at BC Place, and the LA Galaxy will play NY City FC. That's the upcoming schedule, and now, let's look at my MLS Fantasy tips for this upcoming round.

Because of all of the double-headers, there are some better opportunities to get a lot of points in MLS Fantasy. One player that should be on your watchlist is Kevin Ellis. He's been very consistent this season, and he got nine points last game even without a clean sheet. I think for just $6.6 million, he'd be a great deal. Another player to look at would be Obafemi Martins. He's very pricey at $11.8 million, but he is back scoring goals for Seattle, and the Sounders' upcoming schedule looks very favorable. One more player that you should take a look at is Pa-Modou Kah. He didn't have the greatest game against Kansas City, but I still think that he's extra reliable for earning fantasy points, and he's earned an average of nine points per game. He's not terribly expensive at $6.9 million, so be sure to get him while you can! Those are my MLS Fantasy tips for this upcoming round.

Answer to Last Week's Question of the Week: Tottenham Hotspur

This Week's Question of the Week: Sounders striker Obafemi Martins played simultaneously with teammate Andreas Ivanschitz for which club?

Soccer Blog - Week 20

Hello, everybody, and welcome back to another article of Super Soccer Ian. The MLS Playoffs are nearing, and the games are starting to become more and more important now. Let's get things started by reviewing the most recent results.

The first game of the round was a 1-1 draw between the Montréal Impact and the NY Red Bulls. Then, Toronto FC won 4-1 against Orlando City SC, and the Portland Timbers got a 1-0 win over the Chicago Fire. Then, Sporting KC won 3-1 against Toronto FC, and Orlando City SC tied 0-0 with the Philadelphia Union. DC United won 1-0 against the Montréal Impact, and the Columbus Crew earned

a 2-1 win over the Colorado Rapids. The Houston Dynamo won 2-1 against the SJ Earthquakes, and the Vancouver Whitecaps defeated Real Salt Lake 4-0. The Seattle Sounders lost 3-1 against the LA Galaxy, and the NY Red Bulls defeated NY City FC 2-0. Those are the most recent results, so now, let's look at the upcoming schedule.

The next round will start with a matchup between NY City FC and DC United. Then, the SJ Earthquakes will play the Colorado Rapids, and the NY Red Bulls will face Toronto FC. The NE Revolution will host the Houston Dynamo, and FC Dallas will play the LA Galaxy. Sporting KC will play host to the Vancouver Whitecaps, and Real Salt Lake and the Portland Timbers will clash at Rio Tinto Stadium. The Seattle Sounders will play Orlando City SC for the first time ever, and the Philadelphia Union will host the Chicago Fire. That's the upcoming schedule, so now, let's look at my MLS Fantasy tips for this upcoming round.

With all of the new transfers that have been made, I think that there will definitely be some more goals to be scored and points to be earned. One player that everyone should definitely look at is Sebastian Giovinco. He's the most expensive player in the game right now, worth $12.9 million, but I had him as my captain last week, and he earned me a total of 56 points. I think that he'd definitely be worth the money. Another player that you should consider adding to your squad right now is Chris Rolfe. He's earned an average of eight points per game, and Chicago's upcoming schedule looks favorable. One other player that I'd recommend getting is David Ousted. Vancouver's defense has been solid lately, and Ousted's made plenty of saves and earned clean sheets. He's only worth $5.8 million, and I think that he'd be an excellent player to have on your fantasy team. Those are my MLS Fantasy tips for this upcoming round.

Soccer Blog - Week 19

Hello, everyone, and welcome back to another article of Super Soccer Ian. We had one of the most exciting weeks ever, with a ton of goals and thrilling games. Let's get things started by reviewing the most recent results.

The first game of the round was a 2-3 win for the Montréal Impact over NY City FC. Then, DC United beat Real Salt Lake 6-4 in an incredibly thrilling game, and the Philadelphia Union lost 3-1 to the NY Red Bulls. Then, the NE Revolution beat Toronto FC 3-1, and Orlando City SC won 5-2 against the Columbus Crew. Sporting KC tied 1-1 against the Houston Dynamo, and the LA Galaxy won 3-1 against the Colorado Rapids. The Vancouver Whitecaps beat the Seattle Sounders 3-0 at CenturyLink Field, and the SJ Earthquakes tied 0-0 with the Portland Timbers. The final game of the

round was a 2-0 win for the Chicago Fire over FC Dallas. Those are the most recent results, so now, let's look at the upcoming schedule.

We have a busy round coming up because four teams will be playing two games. The first matchup will be between the Montréal Impact and the NY Red Bulls. Then, Toronto FC will play Orlando City SC, and the Portland Timbers will host the Chicago Fire. Toronto FC will play against Sporting KC, and Orlando City SC will face the Philadelphia Union. Then, the Montréal Impact will host DC United, and the Colorado Rapids will face the Columbus Crew. The Houston Dynamo will clash with the SJ Earthquakes at BBVA Compass Stadium, and the Vancouver Whitecaps will host Real Salt Lake. The LA Galaxy will play the Seattle Sounders, and the round will finish up with a matchup between the NY Red Bulls and NY City FC. Those are the upcoming matches, and now, let's look at my MLS Fantasy tips for this upcoming round.

There were a few players who scored big last week, and the same could definitely happen again, since there are some double headers. One player that you should definitely look at is Pa-Modou Kah. He scored two goals against the Sounders last week, and he got a total of 19 points. Plus, he's only worth $6.8 million right now, so you should get him while he's hot, since his price will rise. Another player to look at right now is Benny Feilhaber. His upcoming schedule looks good, and he's earning a solid eight points per game. He's pricey at $10.5 million, but he'd definitely be worth the money. One last player to consider adding to your squad is Nick DeLeon. He's earned about seven points per game, and DC United's schedule looks favorable. He's only worth $6.6 million right now, so he'd definitely be a good player to have for little money. Those are my MLS Fantasy tips for this upcoming round.

Answer to last week's Question of the Week: Roy Lassiter

This week's Question of the Week: Vancouver Whitecaps defender Pa-Modou Kah has ten appearances and one goal for which national team?

The final game of the round will be between the Chicago Fire and FC Dallas. That's the upcoming schedule, so now let's take a look at my MLS Fantasy tips for this upcoming round.

There are no byes in this upcoming round, meaning that every team will get a chance to play and possibly earn you big points. One player that you should definitely look at is Javier Morales. He's earned 23 points in just two games, and I think that he'll definitely be able to make something happen in the next game against DC United. Plus, Real Salt Lake's schedule looks good. Another player that you should consider right now is Laurent Ciman on the Montréal Impact. He's only $7.9 million, and he's earned an average of seven points per game in his last three games. I think that he'd be a steal right now. One last player that you should consider adding to your squad is Mauro Díaz. He got ten points against Portland, and I think that he'll definitely be able to earn more points in the next few games. Those are my MLS Fantasy tips for this upcoming round.

Answer to Last Week's Question of the Week: Jeff Cunningham

Soccer Blog - Week 17

Hello, everyone, and welcome back to the newest article of Super Soccer Ian. We once again had a very exciting week of soccer, with lots of goals and big wins and losses. Let's get things started by reviewing the most recent MLS matches.

The first match of the last round was a 2-0 win for the Houston Dynamo over the SJ Earthquakes. Then, the NY Red Bulls knocked off the NE Revolution 4-1, and the Philadelphia Union beat the Portland Timbers 3-0. FC Dallas beat Orlando City SC 2-0, and the Montréal Impact shut out the Columbus Crew 3-0. The Chicago Fire got a late 1-0 win over the Seattle Sounders, and the Colorado

Rapids won 3-1 against Real Salt Lake. New York City FC and Toronto FC tied 4-4 in a super exciting game, and Sporting KC pulled off a 1-0 win against the Vancouver Whitecaps. Those are the most recent fixtures, and now, let's take a look at the upcoming schedule.

The first game of the next round will be between the Chicago Fire and the Columbus Crew. Then, the LA Galaxy will host the SJ Earthquakes in the California Clasico, and Toronto FC will play the Philadelphia Union. The NE Revolution will play host the NY City FC, and Orlando City SC will play the NY Red Bulls. The Montréal Impact will play Sporting KC on the road, and FC Dallas will host DC United. Real Salt Lake and the Houston Dynamo will clash at Rio Tinto Stadium, and the Seattle Sounders will play the Colorado Rapids. Then, the Portland Timbers will play the Vancouver Whitecaps, and the Columbus Crew will face the Chicago Fire. Those are the upcoming matches, and now, let's look at my MLS Fantasy tips for this upcoming round.

In my opinion, there are definitely some excellent opportunities to get lots and lots of points this round. One player that should be under anyone's radar right now is Sebastian Giovinco. He scored a stunning 20 points against NYCFC, and I think that he'll definitely be able to do it again at home against the Philadelphia Union. Another player to look at right now is Kevin Ellis. He's scored an average of eight points per game in his last three, and only 4.7% of MLS Fantasy players have him on their squads. To me, that's ridiculous. He'd be a great player to pick up for little money, and Sporting KC's upcoming schedule looks favorable. One more player to look at is Mauro Díaz for FC Dallas. He's earned an average of about ten points per game, and FC Dallas have two home games coming up, so I wouldn't bet against him doing more of the same. Those are my MLS Fantasy tips for this upcoming round.

Seattle Sounders had an exciting 3-0 win over FC Dallas, and Orlando City SC won 1-0 against DC United. Those are the most recent results, and now, let's take a look at the upcoming schedule.

The next round will start off with a a matchup between the Colorado Rapids and FC Dallas. Then, the Seattle Sounders will play the SJ Earthquakes, and the NY Red Bulls will face the Vancouver Whitecaps.

LA Galaxy will face the Philadelphia Union at StubHub Center, and the Portland Timbers will host the Houston Dynamo.

There look to be some good chances to get points in this round, so be sure to take advantage of them. One player that should be on your watch list now is Tyrone Mears. He's been earning a solid five points per game in his last three, and Seattle's upcoming schedule looks favorable to them. Plus, he's only worth $7.0 million right now, so be sure to get him when you can! Another defender to consider right now is Kevin Ellis on Sporting KC. He's earned a total of 32 points in just three games, and for $6.2 million, he's definitely a steal, so get him on your team as soon as possible! One more player to consider adding to your squad is Tim Melia. Sporting KC's defense has been excellent lately, and he's averaged about eight points per game. He's a steal at $4.9 million, so he'd definitely make a good starter for your fantasy team. Those are my MLS Fantasy tips for this upcoming round.

Hello, everyone, and welcome back to the latest article of Super Soccer Ian. We once again had a very exciting round, with lots of games and great goals. Let's get started by reviewing the most recent results.

The first game of the round was a 1-0 win for the Seattle Sounders over the Colorado Rapids. Then, the LA Galaxy also won 1-0 over Real Salt Lake, and the Portland Timbers also pulled off a 1-0 win over DC United. Sporting KC won 4-0 over FC Dallas, and Toronto FC won 3-1 over the SJ Earthquakes. The Vancouver Whitecaps beat Real Salt Lake 2-1, and the Philadelphia Union lost 2-1 to DC United. New York City FC tied 1-1 with the Houston Dynamo, and Orlando City SC tied 2-2

with the Columbus Crew. The Chicago Fire won 3-0 over the Montréal Impact, and the Portland Timbers won again, this time 2-1 over the Colorado Rapids. The Seattle Sounders won 2-1 late over the NY Red Bulls, and the NE Revolution tied 2-2 with the LA Galaxy. Those are the most recent, results, so now, let's take a look at the upcoming schedule.

The next round will start with a matchup between DC United and the Chicago Fire. Then, the Philadelphia Union will play the Columbus Crew, and the Montréal Impact will play the Vancouver Whitecaps. The Houston Dynamo will play host to the NY Red bUll, and DC United will face Toronto FC. The Philadelphia Union will play New York City FC, and the Columbus Crew will play the Montréal Impact. The Chicago Fire will host Orlando City SC, and Sporting KC will play the Seattle Sounders. Then, the LA Galaxy will host the Vancouver Whitecaps, and the Portland Timbers will face the NE Revolution. The Rocky Mountain Cup will take place as Real Salt Lake hosts the Colorado Rapids, and the SJ Earthquakes will play FC Dallas. That's the upcoming schedule, so now, let's take a look at my MLS Fantasy tips.

There are once again some double-headers, meaning that you can get even more MLS Fantasy points than normal. One player to consider getting onto your team is Kei Kamara. He's been playing very consistently this season, and based on the upcoming fixtures, I wouldn't be surprised to see him get a goal or two. Another player to watch right now is Marco Pappa. He's scored in two consecutive games, and he's only owned by 4.6% of MLS Fantasy managers right now. I think that he'll get some good points this round, and Seattle's upcoming schedule also looks good. One last player to watch is goalkeeper Stefan Frei. He, too, has been playing consistently lately, and he's averaged approximately seven points per game. Plus, he didn't get a shutout last week, and he earned five points alone. I think that he'll likely get a solid amount of points, and again, Seattle's upcoming schedule looks favorable for them. Those are my MLS Fantasy tips for this upcoming round.

Hello, everyone, and welcome back to Week 12 of Super Soccer Ian. Last round was once again quite exciting, and there were some big wins, losses, and draws. Let's get things started by reviewing the most recent match results.

The first game of this round was a 4-2 win for Sporting KC over the NE Revolution. Then, the Columbus Crew pulled off a 2-2 draw with the Chicago fire, and the LA Galaxy beat the Houston Dynamo 1-0. Toronto FC also got a 1-0 win over the Portland Timbers, and the NE Revolution tied 1-1 with DC United. The Montréal Impact achieved a 2-1 win over FC Dallas, and the Colorado Rapids won 1-0 over the Vancouver Whitecaps. The Seattle Sounders and Sporting KC ended up tying 0-0,

and the Philadelphia Union got a 2-0 win on the road against the NY Red Bulls. The final game of the round was a 1-1 draw between the SJ Earthquakes and Orlando City SC. Those are the most recent results, and now, let's take a look at the upcoming schedule.

The opening match of Round 13 will be a matchup between the Seattle Sounders and the Colorado Rapids. Then, the LA Galaxy will play host to Real Salt Lake, and the Portland Timbers will play against DC United. Sporting KC will host FC Dallas, and Toronto FC will play the SJ Earthquakes. Real Salt Lake will travel to play the Vancouver Whitecaps, and DC United will face the Philadelphia Union. NY City FC will play the Houston Dynamo, and Orlando City SC and the Columbus Crew will clash at the Citrus Bowl. Then, the Chicago Fire will play against the Montréal Impact, and the Colorado Rapids will host the Portland Timbers. The Seattle Sounders will play the NY Red Bulls, and the NE Revolution will close the round with a matchup against the LA Galaxy. That is the upcoming schedule and now, let's take a look at my MLS Fantasy tips.

For this upcoming round, there are LOTS of opportunities to get points and climb higher up the standings tables. Several teams have double-fixtures, and no teams have byes. One player that I will once again recommend getting on your squad is Axel Sjoberg. He's been playing very consistently this season, and he's been averaging about five points per game. Plus, he's only worth $4.8 million, and his team has a double-fixture this week. One more defensive player to consider adding to your team is Chad Marshall. He, too, has been playing very consistently this season, and the Sounders will be playing two games this round at home. I wouldn't be surprised to see him get lots of points and make the leaderboards this round. One more player to consider getting is Jairo Arrieta. He hasn't been the strongest striker in the league recently, but I do think that DC United have a good schedule coming up, and I wouldn't bet against him getting some goals in this round based on the fixtures. Those are my MLS Fantasy tips for this upcoming round.

Soccer Blog - Week 11

Hello, everybody, and welcome back to another article of Super Soccer Ian! This recent round was an exciting one, with some rivalry matches, and some big wins and losses. Let's get things started by reviewing the most recent results.

The first match of the round was a 2-1 win for DC United over Orlando City SC. Then, New York City FC tied 2-2 with the Chicago Fire, and FC Dallas tied 0-0 with the NY Red Bulls. The Montréal Impact won 4-1 over Real Salt Lake, and the Seattle Sounders got a 2-0 win over the Vancouver Whitecaps on the road. The NE Revolution drew 1-1 with Toronto FC, and the Houston Dynamo earned a 3-1 win over the Portland Timbers. Then, the SJ Earthquakes won 2-0 over the Columbus Crew, and Orlando City SC got a shocking 4-0 win over the LA Galaxy. The final game of the round

was a late 1-0 win for the Philadelphia Union over DC United. Those are the most recent results, and now, let's take a look at the upcoming schedule.

This next round will start with a matchup between Sporting KC and the NE Revolution. Then, the Columbus Crew will play the Chicago Fire, and the LA Galaxy will host the Houston Dynamo. Then, Toronto FC will play the Portland Timbers, and the NE Revolution will face off at home against DC United. The Montréal Impact will play FC Dallas, and the Colorado Rapids will host the Vancouver Whitecaps. Real Salt Lake will play New York City FC, and the Seattle Sounders and Sporting KC will face off at CenturyLink Field. The NY Red Bulls will face the Philadelphia Union, and the SJ Earthquakes will host Orlando City SC. Those are the upcoming matches, and now, let's take a look at my MLS Fantasy tips.

Because of the double-headers and some of the good matchups, I think that there are lots of opportunities to get points and climb higher up the standings table. One player that I think might be good to get on your team is Axel Sjöberg on the Colorado Rapids. He's been playing consistently lately, earning about five points per game. Plus, he's only worth $4.7 million, meaning that he'd be an excellent player to either have on your bench or put onto your starting backline. Another player to consider would be Chris Wondolowski. He's a very dangerous striker up top as we know it, and his upcoming schedule looks good. I think that he'll likely get some goals and/or assists in the upcoming games. One more player to consider adding onto your squad is Chad Barrett. He had a great game against the Vancouver Whitecaps, and he'll likely play at home against Sporting KC, since Obafemi Martins is out with a tibia injury. I wouldn't bet against him scoring a goal or maybe getting an assist of two in the upcoming matchup between the Sounders and Sporting KC. Those are my MLS Fantasy tips for the next round in MLS.

Soccer Blog - Week 9

Hello, everybody, and welcome back to another article of Super Soccer Ian. We once again had a great and exciting week of soccer, and there were some extremely exciting games to watch. Let's hope for more of the same in this upcoming round, and let's also get started on reviewing the most recent results.

The first match of the round was a 1-1 draw between the NY Red Bulls and the Colorado Rapids. Then, the Houston Dynamo lost 4-1 to FC Dallas, and Real Salt Lake tied 1-1 with the SJ Earthquakes. Toronto FC won 1-0 over the Philadelphia Union, and DC United beat the Columbus Crew 2-0. The NE Revolution won 2-1 over the NY Red Bulls, and the LA Galaxy tied 1-1 with the

Colorado Rapids. The Portland Timbers drew 0-0 with the Vancouver Whitecaps, and Sporting KC beat the Chicago Fire 1-0 in the Game of the Week. The final game of the round was a 3-1 win for the Seattle Sounders over New York City FC. Those are the most recent results, so now, let's take a look at the upcoming schedule.

The next round will begin with a matchup between the Houston Dynamo and the SJ Earthquakes. Then, Real Salt Lake will play the LA Galaxy, and Orlando City SC will host the NE Revolution. The Colorado Rapids will play the SJ Earthquakes, and the Chicago Fire will play Real Salt Lake. The Montréal Impact will host the Portland Timbers, and DC United will host Sporting KC. The Vancouver Whitecaps and Philadelphia Union will face off, and the Columbus Crew will host the Seattle Sounders. FC Dallas will then play the LA Galaxy, and Toronto FC will face the Houston Dynamo. The final game of the round will be between the NY Red Bulls and New York City FC. Those are the upcoming matches, and now, let's take a look at my MLS Fantasy tips.

There are some good opportunities to get lots of Fantasy points because of the fact that a few teams have double-headers this round. One player to consider getting on your team is Kendall Waston on the Vancouver Whitecaps. He will be playing at home against the Philadelphia Union, who have not been in the best defensive form this season. I think that he'll likely get a shutout, and he may even put in a set piece goal, or two. Another Vancouver player to consider for this round is Octavio Rivero. He's been scoring lots of goals for his side this season, and I wouldn't bet against him scoring in the Whitecaps' next game. He's a bit pricey at $8.9 million, but I think that he'd be well worth the price. One last player to think about getting on your squad is Sebastian Giovinco. He's a very expensive player to add to your team, but I think that his matchup at home against the Dynamo might be a great opportunity for him to add to his goal count. Those are my MLS Fantasy tips for this upcoming round.

Soccer Blog - Week 8

Hello, everybody, and welcome to another brand-new article of Super Soccer Ian. We had another exciting week with lots of goals and some very exciting matches. Let's get started by reviewing the most recent results.

Round 8 Results

The first game of this round was a 1-0 win for the Chicago Fire over New York City FC. Then, the Colorado Rapids tied 1-1 with FC Dallas. The Columbus Crew won 4-1 over the Philadelphia Union, and the NE Revolution beat Real Salt Lake 4-0 at home. The Houston Dynamo and Sporting KC tied

in an exciting 4-4 draw, and DC United beat the Vancouver Whitecaps 2-1 on the road. The NY Red Bulls drew 1-1 with the LA Galaxy, and Toronto FC beat Orlando City SC 2-0 at the Citrus Bowl. The final game of the round was an exciting Cascadia Rivalry between the Seattle Sounders and Portland Timbers, which finished in a 1-0 win for the home side. 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 between the NY Red Bulls and Colorado Rapids. Next, the El Capitan Rivalry will take place as the Houston Dynamo will host FC Dallas. Real Salt Lake will face off against the SJ Earthquakes, and the Philadelphia Union will play Toronto FC. DC United will host the Columbus Crew, and the NE Revolution will play the NY Red Bulls. LA Galaxy will host the Colorado Rapids at StubHub Center, and more Cascadia Rivalry will take place as the Portland Timbers will face the Vancouver Whitecaps. Sporting KC will play the Chicago Fire, and the final game of the round will be a matchup between the Seattle Sounders and New York City FC. Those are the upcoming fixtures, and now, let's take a look at my MLS Fantasy tips.

MLS Fantasy Tips

For this upcoming round, there are lots of opportunities to get lots of fantasy points and to climb higher up the standings table. One player that would be one to watch is Bradford Jamieson IV.  He scored a beautiful goal against the NY Red Bulls last round, and he will likely be in the starting lineup against the Colorado Rapids at home. I wouldn't be surprised if he gets a goal or an assist in that game. Another player to look at would be Joevin Jones on the Chicago Fire. He's been very consistent lately, averaging about 7-8 points per game. I think that he would be a good player to add to your squad, especially since he's only worth $6.5 million. One more player that would be a good choice to get is Ethan Finlay. He got a total of 16 points against the Philadelphia Union, and I wouldn't be surprised if he gets goals or assists against DC United next round. Those are my MLS Fantasy tips for this upcoming round. Be sure to stay up-to-date on the fixtures, injuries, and news, as they may help you decide on who to add or remove from your team.

Soccer Blog - Week 6

Hello, everybody, and welcome to another article of Super Soccer Ian. We had another exciting week of MLS action, which included some big wins and losses and some exciting goals and games. Let's get started by reviewing the most recent results.

Round 5 Results

The first game of the round was a 2-2 draw between the Vancouver Whitecaps and Columbus Crew. Then, the Colorado Rapids got a stunning 4-0 win on the road against FC Dallas, and the NE Revolution tied 0-0 with the Columbus Crew. The Philadelphia Union won 2-1 against New York City FC, and DC United tied 2-2 with the NY Red Bulls. The Houston Dynamo got a 3-0 win over the Montréal Impact, and Sporting KC tied 0-0 with Real Salt Lake. The SJ Earthquakes pulled off a

1-0 win over the Vancouver Whitecaps, and the Portland Timbers lost 2-0 at home to Orlando City SC. The final match of the round was a 1-0 win for the LA Galaxy over the Seattle Sounders. Those are the most recent results, and now, let's take a look at the upcoming schedule.

Upcoming Schedule

The first match of the upcoming round will be between New York City FC and the Philadelphia Union. Then, the NY Red Bulls will play the SJ Earthquakes at home. DC United will host the Houston Dynamo, and Columbus Crew will face off Orlando City SC. FC Dallas will play Toronto FC, and the Colorado Rapids will host the Seattle Sounders. Real Salt Lake will play host to the Vancouver Whitecaps, and the LA Galaxy will play Sporting KC at the StubHub Center. The final two games of the round will be between the Philadelphia union and NE Revolution, and the Portland Timbers and New York City FC. Those are the upcoming matches, and now, let's take a look at my MLS Fantasy tips.

MLS Fantasy Tips

There are some good opportunities to get lots of points and to climb higher in the standings in your MLS Fantasy game during this upcoming round. One player to consider getting on your squad is Obafemi Martins. He will be playing on the road against the Colorado Rapids, who have only won once in nineteen matches. He is pricey at $11.3 million, but he has been consistent this season, and I wouldn't be surprised if he puts in a goal or two in that game. Another player that I'm looking at is DaMarcus Beasley. Since Ike Opara, ($7.3 million) will be out for the rest of the season with an achilles injury, I think that Beasley would be a good substitute player. I think that he will likely get up the wing more, increasing the chances of him getting an assist or two, and plus, he's also relatively inexpensive at $7.2 million. One more player to consider getting on your team is Stefan Ishizaki. Without having a goal or an assist against Seattle, he was still able to get a solid six points in that game. I think that he would be good to have on your squad, since he is inexpensive at $8.0 million, and because he has consistently been earning a solid amount of points per game. Those are my MLS Fantasy tips for this upcoming round.

Answer to Last Week's Question of the Week: Jesse Marsch

This Week's Question of the Week: Timbers striker Gastón "La Gata" Fernández was born in the same city as Timbers midfielder Diego Valeri. Which city was this?

Whitecaps had a late winning goal in a 2-1 win over the Portland Timbers, and ten-men FC Dallas tied 0-0 with the Seattle Sounders. The Houston Dynamo tied 0-0 with the Colorado Rapids, and the Chicago Fire won 1-0 over the Philadelphia Union. The final match of the round was a 2-1 win for Real Salt Lake over Toronto FC.

Upcoming Schedule

The Seattle Sounders will host the Houston Dynamo, and the Vancouver Whitecaps will play the LA Galaxy. The Portland Timbers will host FC Dallas, and Real Salt Lake will face off against the SJ Earthquakes on the road. The final game of the round will be between Sporting KC and the Philadelphia Union. Now, let's take a look at my MLS Fantasy tips for this upcoming round.

MLS Fantasy Tips

There are some good opportunities in this upcoming round to rack up the fantasy points and climb up the standings table. One player that would be good to consider getting on your team is Chris Seitz. He's been playing very well lately, and he's only worth $5.1 million. Get him now while he's hot and his price is low! Another player to consider getting on your team is Jose Villarreal. He's been consistent lately, and his price is very low. One other player that would be a good choice to get on your team is Tyler Deric. He will be on the road, but I think that the Sounders will have a harder time scoring goals since both Obafemi Martins and Clint Dempsey have injuries. I think that Deric will be likely to get lots of action in the game and he'll likely get lots of bonus points. Those are my MLS Fantasy tips for this upcoming round.

MLS Fantasy Tips

There are quite a few byes in this upcoming week, meaning that some of the current stars will not be earning the points for you. One player that I'm seriously looking at for this next round is Benny Feilhaber. He will be playing at home against the Portland Timbers, and I think that he will definitely put in an assist or two, and maybe even a goal. He's sort of pricey at $9.2 million, but I think that he would definitely be worth the money. Another player that I'm looking at is Octavio Rivero. He will be playing on the road, but he has been consistent so far, and I wouldn't be surprised to see him put in a goal or two against Orlando. One more player to consider would be David Villa. He had an excellent last game, and I think that he will continue to be a point-scoring playmaker in the upcoming games. Those are my MLS Fantasy tips for this upcoming round.

Question of the Week: Which college did Sporting KC midfielder Benny Feilhaber attend?

Soccer Blog - Week 1

Welcome to the 2015 MLS Season and to another new article of Super Soccer Ian. Our first week of MLS in the 2015 Season was impressive, with some big goals and some exciting games, including the one between two new MLS teams Orlando City SC and New York City FC. Let's get things started by reviewing the most recent results.

Round 1 Results

The first game of the season was a 2-0 win for the LA Galaxy over the Chicago Fire. Then, DC United beat the Montréal Impact 1-0, and the Philadelphia Union tied 0-0 with the Colorado Rapids.

Toronto FC beat the Vancouver Whitecaps 3-1, and FC Dallas got a late 1-0 win over the SJ Earthquakes. The Houston Dynamo won 1-0 over the Columbus Crew, and Real Salt Lake tied 0-0 with the Portland Timbers. Orlando City SC tied 1-1 with NY City FC in their first ever game, and Sporting KC tied 1-1 with the NY Red Bulls. The final game of the round was an exciting 3-0 win for the Seattle Sounders over the NE Revolution. Those are the most recent results. Now, let's take a look at the upcoming schedule.

Upcoming Schedule

The first game of the next round will be a matchup between the Houston Dynamo and Orlando City SC. The Chicago Fire will play the Vancouver Whitecaps, and the Columbus Crew will play Toronto FC. FC Dallas will play Sporting KC, and Real Salt Lake will play the Philadelphia Union. The Seattle Sounders and SJ Earthquakes will face off at CenturyLink Field, and NY City FC will play the NE Revolution. The final game of the round will be an exciting matchup between the Portland Timbers and LA Galaxy. Those are the upcoming fixtures, and now, let's take a look at my MLS Fantasy tips.

MLS Fantasy Tips

There were some unexpected point earners in this round, and there are also some new faces in MLS that ended up getting quite a few points in the round. One player that you should definitely have on your team for the next round is Clint Dempsey. He is pricey at $11.2 million, but he should definitely be worth the price, and he got a stunning 18 points in his first game of the season. Besides Obafemi Martins, who you should also consider, I would definitely recommend getting Tyrone Mears. He put in a good assist on Martins's goal, and he got ten points in that game. Another player to consider is goalkeeper Tyler Deric on the Houston Dynamo. He got a total of nine points in the game against the Columbus Crew, and he will be playing at home again, meaning that he'll likely get even more. One more player to consider getting on your squad is Jozy Altidore. He put in a great performance against the Vancouver Whitecaps, and he will be playing the Columbus Crew, who just lost against the Dynamo. I think that he could probably get a goal or two for TFC in that game. Those are my MLS Fantasy tips for this upcoming round.

Question of the Week: My favorite new jerseys for the 2015 MLS Season have to be Colorado Rapids' new away kit and Orlando City SC's home kit. Try letting me know what YOUR favorite jersey(s) are in this new season!
