the Montréal Impact got a 3-0 win over the NE Revolution. Orlando City SC won 1-0 on the road against the Chicago Fire, and Real Salt Lake beat the LA Galaxy 3-0. The Portland Timbers lost 2-0 against the NY Red Bulls, and the Philadelphia Union earned a 2-0 victory over the Houston Dynamo. Now, let's take a peek at the upcoming schedule.

The first matchup of the round will be between the Montréal Impact and the Chicago Fire, and then, the Houston Dynamo will face Sporting KC. The NY Red Bulls will host Orlando City SC, and Toronto FC will play the Chicago Fire. DC United will travel to play the Montréal Impact, and the Portland Timbers will play the Columbus Crew. Then, the NE Revolution will play the Philadelphia union, and the Houston Dynamo will face-off with the Colorado Rapids. The Vancouver Whitecaps will then face NY City FC, and Sporting KC will play the Seattle Sounders. The final matches of the round will be between the SJ Earthquakes and Real Salt Lake, and the LA Galaxy will play FC Dallas. Those are the upcoming matches, so now, let's take a look at my MLS Fantasy tip for this upcoming round.

There are plenty of games coming up, so be sure to get your fantasy team ready when you can! One player that you should definitely take a look at is Kei Kamara. His stats for this season have been excellent, and he's been consistently scoring goals for the Crew. I think that he'd be a great player to have on your squad if you can afford him. Another player to look at is Ethan Finlay. He, too, has been consistently earning points, and his price is actually pretty good at being $9.3 million compared to his statistics. One last player to keep an eye on is Stefan Frei. He earned an incredible ten points against the Vancouver Whitecaps, and I wouldn't be surprised if he continues to keep clean sheets as the season progresses. Those are my MLS Fantasy tips for this upcoming round.

Hello, everyone, and welcome back to the latest article of Super Soccer Ian. Although the last round was very short, it was still quite exciting, and there was an average of about four goals per game. Let's start things off by reviewing the results from the last round.

The first match of the last round was a 3-0 win for the NE Revolution over Orlando City SC. Then, the Montréal Impact got a thrilling 4-3 win over the Chicago Fire, and the Seattle Sounders beat Toronto FC 2-1. The Philadelphia Union won 2-1 against the SJ Earthquakes, and FC Dallas beat the

Columbus Crew 3-0. Those are the most recent results, so now, let's take a look at the upcoming schedule.

The next round will begin with a matchup between the Vancouver Whitecaps and the Colorado Rapids. Then, the Portland Timbers will play Sporting KC, and the NY Red Bulls will host the Chicago Fire. The Columbus Crew and Philadelphia Union will clash at PPL Park, and FC Dallas will play host to NY City FC. The Houston Dynamo will face Real Salt Lake, and the Colorado Rapids will play DC United. The LA Galaxy will host the Montréal Impact, and the Seattle Sounders will play on the road against the SJ Earthquakes. Toronto FC will then play the NE Revolution, and Orlando City SC will host Sporting KC. Those are the most recent results, so now, let's take a look at the upcoming schedule.

This next round will be a busy one, since there are no byes for any team, and some of the teams even have two matches to play. One player that'd be worth looking at is Jesse Gonzalez. Although he's only played in three games for Dallas, he is very inexpensive at $4.2 million, and he's already earned twenty points in those three games he's played in. Another player to keep under your radar is Didier Drogba. He scored three goals to win the game against the Chicago Fire last week, and I think that he'll be very dangerous against the Galaxy next round. He's pricey at $10.2 million, but I do believe that he will score more goals for his team. One last player to consider is Clint Dempsey. He came back with a bang last round, scoring once and adding an assist to his tally, and I think that with him back in the lineup, Seattle could win their next game against the Earthquakes. Those are my MLS Fantasy tips for this upcoming round.

Soccer Blog - Week 23

Hello, everyone, and welcome back to another article of Super Soccer Ian. This most recent round was a great one, and I was very pleased to find out that I had been mentioned on Simon Borg's "Instant Replay" on MLS. You can watch it below.


Let's get things started by reviewing the most recent results.

The first match of the round was a 3-2 win for the Chicago Fire over the NY Red Bulls. Then, the Colorado Rapids beat the Houston Dynamo 2-1, and the SJ Earthquakes defeated the LA Galaxy 1-0.

NY City FC were beaten 2-1 by the Columbus Crew, and Toronto FC won 2-1 against the Montréal Impact. The NE Revolution won 1-0 on the road against the Philadelphia Union, and the Chicago Fire drew 1-1 with Orlando City SC. The Colorado Rapids then won 2-1 against Sporting KC, and FC Dallas beat Real Salt lake 2-0. The Houston Dynamo also won 2-0 against the Vancouver Whitecaps, and the Seattle Sounders defeated the rival Portland Timbers 2-1. The final match of the round was a 3-0 win for the NY Red Bulls over DC United. Those are the most recent results, so now, let's take a look at the upcoming schedule.

The next round will be a brief one, with only five games. The first game will be between the NE Revolution and Orlando City SC. Then, the Montréal Impact will play the Chicago Fire, and the Seattle Sounders will host Toronto FC. The SJ Earthquakes and Philadelphia Union will face off, and the Columbus Crew will play host to FC Dallas. That's the upcoming schedule, so now, let's take a look at my MLS Fantasy tips.

You should definitely be sure to make substitutions as soon as possible and transfer wisely, since this will be a very short round. One player that I would recommend getting is Brad Evans. He had a great game against the Timbers, scoring once, and he might be able to do more of the same against Toronto FC. Another player that you should take a look at is David Bingham. He's been very consistent this season, and I think that the Quakes have a good chance of getting a shutout at home against the Union. One more player to consider adding to your fantasy squad is Obafemi Martins. I've recommended him many times before, but I seriously think that he'll be a great player to keep on your team for the rest of the season. He played very well against the Timbers, and I wouldn't bet against him doing it again against Toronto. Those are my MLS Fantasy tips for this upcoming round.
