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.
