I was on vacation all last week, didnt realize it was a double game week, and didnt bother to work on my team til I was sitting in an airport Friday, not knowing my roster was already locked since Wednesday. Luckily my H2H opponent only put up 41 points and I still managed to get 84 with the prior weeks roster. No complaints. I'll be much better prepared this week!
Week 11 - A Day Late, A Dollar Short, and A Log Jam At The Top Fantasy Moment of the Week The person at the Arbor Day Foundation that woke up and thought it was going to be a good day for trees .... Not that it matters since you know.... we don't actually score goals very often.... Must be a Caleb Porter thing... H2H League Biggest Blowout - Wetmore destroyed Miguel Berry (almost as badly as NYCFC did) Closest Game - A day late in updating their Fantasy Roster due to focusing on my kid's Weekend Soccer Tournament, then panicking and realizing I still had Toronto Players on my Fantasy Squad and swapping out the half of the team that hadn't played yet to focus on Sunday Games..... I came up 3 points short in a loss to the Legendary Gocrew1996 squad 1st Place - 27 Points Wetmore FC "Paddy" WhatsInAName The Best BigSoccerPoster 419 Crew Section 207 New Vienna FC 2nd Place - 24 Points CellarDwellers GoCrew1996 The Man-Zelarayan 34d Place - 22 Points Typhon Inc Open League 1.

Don't be like me and forget to update your roster until Early Saturday Evening.... or on second thought... yeah do that! Play On!
FC Required Field FC got its worst point total of the season after TWO players of my starting 11, uninjured according to major league soccer soccer dot com’s spot-on and up-to-the-minute injury report, failed to start. Oh, if I had the time to do more research ahead of time…

Hey! I found a team that will miss more shots than the Crew does!
The question of the week is: Do I select the Atlanta goalkeeper because Columbus can't score goals or do I select an Atlanta forward because Columbus makes dumb defensive mistakes? This is, of course, in addition to an Atlanta defender and midfielder. Decisions decisions.
Well, take heart in knowing that, no matter what you decide, you'll more than probably maintain your lead at the top of the table... Meanwhile, I'll agonize over data and roster decisions which as usual this season won't pan out and I'll finish mid-table for the week, keeping me locked mid-table in the overall standings. I'm doing basically what I did last year, and it ain't working!
My wife - who has 984 points on the season and is currently in 3rd in our league with our friends - swears by this website for her 45 minutes of weekly analysis: https://mlscheatsheet.com/
Week 13 - Winning Ugly Fantasy Highlight of the Week Montreal - 14 Games Played - 26 Goals Against Cincinnati - 14 Games Played - 25 Goals Against It was bound to be a game of Goalkeeper Dodgeball Glad Montreal rolled another Roundrel though... was worried the league was running those out at this point.

Week 14 - A Long Wait for Nothing It was one of those buildups where you could feel the anticipation. What it ended up being though... well let's just say it is like a kid eagerly waiting for their birthday gifts and when the day finally comes... they get $10 gift card to Bed Bath and Beyond - none of their friends show up - and it rains the whole day.... Teams had so much time to prepare for this week... but it seemed like no teams were actually ready to do anything this week... It was boring across the entire league. A lot of talk. For Nothing!

Week 16 - Maybe Soon We Can Put Crew Players on Our Fantasy Roster Again? Fantasy Player of the Week Had you made this guy your captain this week, his 68 point would have been more than 7 teams in the Fantasy Open League scored the entire week. Luckily we're all in that 4.61% right? Head to Head League Biggest Blowout - Let's just say... That was easy.... Closest Game - No one deserved to lose this one!

@LaMacchia is out here doing Guillermo's work. Hey @DraftKicks - when is Cucho Hernandez going to get added to the #Crew96 roster in @MLSFantasy? You've got all the other big transfers, can Columbus get some love? pic.twitter.com/NItNiU1drq— Chris LaMacchia (@chrislamacchia) July 7, 2022 And the fool has tipped his hand in the process!
