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.

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.

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.
