This is it for another year. We are closing the season with the always-exciting Decision Day, in which the fate of many teams will be decided. It was a very busy round last week, especially on Sunday in which some teams were left happy, others disappointed and a few still hopeful. Portland Timbers and DC United booked their tickets for the post-season, while Vancouver was eliminated. Montreal, Col...
The quick and short round is in the books and now we are heading towards the last big double gameweek (DGW) for this season. Three of the four matches followed expectation as home wins, but many managers were left bitterly disappointed after the surprise defeat of Minnesota at home by the usually travel-sick Rapids. It was a good week for LAFC, whose win left them tied with Chicago Fire’s record f...
We expected it to be an exciting round as the season approaches its final stages, and it was! Fantasy-wise, many managers had to swallow disappointment as the two most popular captain picks, Martinez and Almiron, failed to deliver the expected results. Nevertheless, 39 goals were produced including 5 braces from Rooney, Blanco, Picault, Diomande and Rodriguez. Philadelphia, LAFC and SKC clinched p...
As the end of the season is fast approaching, every week is getting increasingly tense in the fight for a post-season place. The last week was no exception, with some big results. FC Dallas became the first team in the Western Conference to clinch a playoff spot. Amongst the many goals, we witnessed five braces (two of them from former Man United players, Rooney and Ibrahimovic). The latter said t...
The end of the season is fast approaching and the battle for the playoffs proved exciting in the last round, with some surprises as always. Atlanta United clinched a bye in the first postseason round, while LAFC became the third MLS team to cross the 50 points mark in an inaugural season. Gameweek 30 Review Portland Timbers started the round with a win and then suffered a surprising defeat at the ...
Another exciting round is behind us. We witnessed some real goal-fests, with two five-goal thrillers, two six-goal stunners and an incredible eight-goal extravaganza (in total 47 goals, including 5 braces and a hat trick)! Bradley Wright-Phillips scored the hat trick while Zlatan Ibrahimovic made the headlines again by scoring a stunning 500th career goal. With the regular season moving towards it...
The small round is over. It wasn’t what many fantasy football managers were hoping for, as New York City FC suffered their first home defeat when New England Revolution managed only their second away win of the season, through a first MLS goal from Wright. Without playing this week, Atlanta United became the second team to clinch a playoff place, thanks to DC United dropping points. Gamewee...
Another big double game week is behind us. As expected there were quite a few rotations, which led to the usual frustration of single game week players like Rusnak (20pts), Vela (19pts) and Kreilach (18pts) outscoring many of the chosen DGW players like Valeri (5pts) and BWP (2pts). Nevertheless, we witnessed 55 goals including six braces and a hat trick. The highlight of the week went to Seattle ...
Before everything else, I would like to thank Chipster for his excellent coverage for the last two weeks while I was away on my summer holidays. We had an exciting Rivalry round with six famous derbies. Some went quiet and other produced the usual fireworks. With his latest goal, Ibrahimovic is now just one strike away from his 500th career goal. The big story of the week was the new MLS goal scor...
After a long wait the Fall season finally started, but its arrival brought both pleasure and pain to fantasy managers. While those with underperforming teams may have been glad of the opportunity for a fresh start, everybody else felt robbed as they lost the luxury of their massive bank balances. It was a day of levelling when all managers woke up with a reset budget and newly priced players with ...
