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.
