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.
