  • Fantasy Pro: Multiple magic in MLS

    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. ...

  • Fantasy Pro: The good, the bad, and the ugly

    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. It was the second time in as many matches that the Argentinean provided all the scoring in a Crew ...

  • Fantasy Pro: A week of firsts

    The highlights from Week 11 in Major League Soccer included a number of season firsts. Why is this significant to the fantasy game? Because those firsts should give you reason to be hopeful about the future of some of those involved. Here's my take. - Taylor Twellman (Forward, New England Revolution) made his first appearance of the season on ...

  • Fantasy Pro: Random thoughts and observations

    - Josh Wolff (Forward, Kansas City Wizards) is on the prowl.  With goals in his team's last three games, the Georgia native has the Wizards just one point back of Eastern Conference co-leaders Chicago and D.C. Take notice, Bob Bradley. - Andre Rocha (Midfielder, FC Dallas) scored a lovely goal for the Hoops in their draw with Seattle on ...

  • Soccer notes: Back to business in MLS

    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. That means the focus is renewed and it's full speed ahead in Major League Soccer, and it's no different in the fantasy game. Lets get to the news -- and more importantly, the effects. The news: MLS All-Stars defeat West ...

  • Survivor Pro: Rapids find balance

    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. ...

  • Fantasy Pro: Playmakers to build a team around

    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 ...
