You want to know who's hot? A player who scores multiple goals in a game is hot. This weekend, four different players accomplished that feat. All of them are accomplished goal scorers, though they've had different levels of success this season. But nothing enhances a player's confidence like hitting the back of the net more than once in a game. ...

We’ve made it to the All-Star break, and it will be exciting to watch the best of MLS take on Everton Wednesday. But this website is all about fantasy soccer, so I now present to you my picks for this season’s Fantasy All-Stars.   Remember, this isn’t necessarily a representation of which players I think are best, but rather which are tops ...

There's plenty of material to cover and the headline speaks for itself, so let's get right to it. THE GOOD - Guillermo Barros Schelotto (Midfielder, Columbus Crew) scored twice more on Sunday to give the home side a 2-1 victory over Chivas USA.

The All-Star Game is behind us, several clubs have brought in new blood, and believe it or not, fall is right around the corner.

The news: MLS All-Stars defeat West ...

Here's a challenge for you: Without looking, name the top goal-scorer for the Western Conference leading Colorado Rapids (3-3-0), a team that has scored 10 times in six games. Cue the Jeopardy music. A logical guess would be midfielder Christian Gomez, a former league MVP whom the Rapids acquired in the offseason from D.C. United. ...

It's probably the oldest sports cliché around: Defense wins championships. And there is some truth to it, but not necessarily in the fantasy sports world. Here, points win championships. And who earns the points? Playmakers, that's who. But who is a ''playmaker'' and what makes them so special? In short, these are the team leaders that spur on ...

We’re less than a week away from the start of the 2008 Major League Soccer season, and as the action nears commencement on Saturday, things in the fantasy ranks are already running hot.   Don’t put it off any longer; if you haven’t done so already, now is the time to complete your fantasy team so that when the weekend rolls around (and it ...
