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.
