After a few postponements, the Spring season is now finally over and we will be entering the Fall season starting this week. Despite the many delayed kick-offs (due to freaky summer weather conditions) we witnessed another exciting round with 51 goals scored, including two hat tricks. Zlatan Ibrahimovic scored his first MLS hat trick and his ex-Manchester United team-mate Wayne Rooney scored his first MLS goal. Elsewhere, Bradley Wright-Phillips netted his 100th goal and became the fastest player to score a century in MLS history. https://twitter.com/MLS/status/1023781778308378625 Gameweek 22 Review The second edition of El Trafico finished in a similar fashion to the first. LAFC were 2-0 up until the 82nd minute when the Galaxy came back, this time to draw the game. Vancouver demolished M...[Read More]
Another exciting round, with many goals and surprises, is over and we are heading for another big Double Gameweek (DGW). The highlights were dominated by the sixth hat trick from Josef Martinez, which is a new MLS record. https://twitter.com/MLS/status/1020782516372828160 Gameweek 21 Review The round started and ended well for Minnesota United, who won both their home games (including a 5-1 thrashing of LAFC to round off the gameweek). It was a different story for the other DGW team, New England Revolution, who lost both of their away matches. The Cascadia Cup finished with a clear win (and a home shutout) for Seattle Sounders over Vancouver Whitecaps, while Houston Dynamo and FC Dallas shared the points in a 1-1 draw at the Texan Derby. The Rocky Mountain Cup ended in another 2-2 draw bet...[Read More]

MLS GW19 Tips Fantasy Major League Soccer As the World Cup tournament enters the crucial knockout stage, MLS has decided to impress us with a humongous double gameweek (DGW). 11 teams are playing twice and it all kicks off just two days after the last round finished. That is nothing new for regulars of this fantasy football game and we simply have to go along with it. Because MLS!

MLS GW18 Tips Fantasy Major League Soccer While the world is still shaken by World Cup fever, MLS restarted the season after a short break. To mark the return six red cards were issued in one day across just eight games. That is a staggering contrast compared with just two in ten days for 29 games at the World Cup. Nevertheless, we witnessed 30 goals in this MLS round, while in Russia there were 85 scored in the first 32 games.

MLS GW15 Tips Fantasy Major League Soccer Another big and exciting double gameweek is behind us, with a bumper crop of 45 goals scored in it. That brought big scores for the managers who picked the right players. We witnessed Joseph Martinez equal the MLS record with his fifth hat trick (in a mere 34 games it must be said, compared to 55 and 124 for the other joint record holders). We also saw bad boy Zlatan return from punishment to score a brace. NEW FF247 MLS LEAGUE For anyone who missed it we have decided to start up a fresh FF247 MLS league beginning in GW13.

MLS GW14 Tips Fantasy Major League Soccer It was another strange round with quite a few unexpected scores. Some of the most popular choices (and especially captain picks) failed to deliver, which disappointed many managers. Once again we witnessed more misery for the highly rated 2017 winners and runners-up, Toronto and Seattle. On the positive side, despite not playing this week due to an injury, Luis Robles was honoured with the longest Ironman streak in MLS history, for 183 consecutive appearances between the sticks for the New York Red Bulls.

MLS GW13 Tips Fantasy Major League Soccer Once upon a time we all fell in love with MLS fantasy football. We’ve since been through a messy break-up period for various reasons. One being that they took the best fantasy game out there and decided to ruin it completely! We did manage to turn the other cheek on that one and kept playing but then our MLS guru Guy Sanchez, who skilfully guided us through each week, had to take a break from writing for a bit. And as a result we haven’t had an article on it since. Until now! For anyone who hasn’t kept up since the FPL season finished then in short one of our website friends Fantasy Football First has called it a day and that left their brilliantly talented MLS writer Ivan a bit homeless. It therefore felt like a no brainer to inv...[Read More]
MLS GW20 Tips Fantasy Major League Soccer We have to face facts here and acknowledge the obvious: the FPL season is close, and the FMLS season means just that much less now in comparison. Add to the fact that anybody living in the UK can’t actually win a prize from FMLS (that still bothers me to no end), and you have perfect environment for people to start to drop off on playing the MLS game and focusing more on the game that we all know and love. But for those of you out there that are still keen on setting a lineup this week in FMLS, we have you covered regardless. And we have an especially MLS-y type of round for you this week. The games start tomorrow on Wednesday; and since we have a massive DGW, more games will follow on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. No fewer than fourteen teams will ...[Read More]
