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.

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.

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 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.

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.
