What is the Best XI? Every week, I search the MLS Fantasy League database for the best statistical performances from players. I then compile the best team that is possible within the rules of the game. (Which means I have to follow the formation rules.) I then provide a list of players and post it here. Q. What happens in the case of a tie with players points? I then take into account salary. Whatever player had the lowest salary at the beginning of the game day is the one who gets the nod. Q. What formats are legal in MLS Fantasy League? I have tested through and found the following formats to be legal: 5-4-1 5-3-2 4-5-1 4-4-2 4-3-3 3-5-2 3-4-3 And of course you always have to have a Goalkeeper. Q. What formation do you suggest using? I am not the one to be asking... I just know things, I don't win. But I will tell you that there are pros and cons to each lineup. Just remember that the people who end up getting paid off big are your guys who score or who help score. When picking a line-up, remember that. When picking midfielders, avoid midfielders who play only a defensive role. When picking defenders, pick defenders who are consistently being pulled up for Corner Kicks and those who take a very offensive attitude at points in the game. Q. What formation do you use? I am currently using a 3-4-3. -------------------------------------------------------
