MLS DGW4 Tips – Fantasy Major League Soccer
MLS DGW4 Tips – Fantasy Major League Soccer Are you still playing FMLS? Because if you are, you’re about to encounter one of the worst things about the American league – the nonsensical way in which the MLS handles international breaks. Whereas this coming weekend is a period of rest from club play for (pretty much) the entire world, the MLS still managed to schedule three matches. So 14 MLS clubs get to take the time off and not be affected by international call-ups, but 6 clubs have to navigate around reduced rosters. Makes sense right? Somehow those three matches are so crucial ...[Read More]
Playing the DGWs with a Wildcard in GW33

When the double game-weeks were announced last week I had five players (Hennessy, Cathcart, Payet, Ozil & Aguero) who were set to have a double in GW34. With Kompany injured that number was ...[Read More]

Well, as the season rumbles on, and as your FPL season comes to an end, o...[Read More]
