    Dallas has a bye this coming GW, Seattle has an easy home game versus Chivas USA, but the goats have gotten stronger in the past 3-4 GW's, KC's Collin, on of the best fantasy defenders in MLSF, has been suspended due to yellow card accumulation, Keane is still listed as injured and no one has an update on whether he'll play, or not, Camilo continues to score goals like there's no tomorrow, Higuain has a relatively easy away game versus Toronto, etc.

    Additionally, Chicago & Montreal have signed South American DP's: http://www.socceramerica.com/article/52809/fire-and-impact-find-dps-in-argentina.html (how quickly will they be added to the MLSF game, how much will they be worth, and will they be good enough to be added to our teams?) . . .

    What's everyone doing for this GW? Any transfers? Anyone sitting on suspended or bye players? Is anyone making moves getting ready for the following GW 24 (Galaxy has a bye and Portland has a bye the following GW)?

    Inquiring minds want to know!!! ;)

    My team currently is:

    Irwin​
    Klute Olave Goncalves Farrell
    Bernier Zusi (C) Okugo (VC) Morales
    Higuain Fagundez​

    Bench: Bendik (G) Brown Osorio Garbini (bye)

    Can't decide if I want to drop Klute for Rodney Wallace or Deshorn Brown for Jack Mac (Still have 2.3 in the bank)

    Any suggestions for a quality cheap midfielder to replace bernier?

    I'd suggest Vancouver's Russell Teibert for your cheapie midfielder. He costs $5.3, and in the last 5 games he played for VAN he scored 11, 5, 6, 6, 6.

    Wow. That's a nice team!

    I'm saving my 2nd WC until the USMNT boys return for next GW since I really want to play around with my team at that point. Should be interesting!

    I'm still annoyed I did the dumb hit for Earnshaw move and I talked myself out of capping Nguyen last week - but I ended up with an okay score so can't complain too much. I'm also going to wait for next game week to use WC I think. Probably putting armband on Higuain.

    I'm trying to wait until the week 27 to use my wildcard where I can take advantage of the double game week; however, it might be hard to resist picking up Donovan as he is lights out right now

    Thanks, the key has been to build up team value by selecting emerging/good players early, while their price is still rising.

    If it's your "regular" wild card, then you are good waiting until GW27 - It's good anytime during the season. However, if it's your 2nd wild card, that one is only good from GW20 to GW25.

    It is my regular wildcard. I probably should have used it sooner; however, I haven't needed more than 2 transfers any gameweek.

    If there is some way to use your 2nd WC first (because it expires GW25), then you'd still have the 1st one to use anytime for the rest of the season.

    I was allowed to pick which wild card I used during gameweek 21.

    On a side note, has anyone else noticed that premierleague.com has adopted something resembling the mls fantasy point system? (Disclaimer: I am not a eurosnob)

    Yeah - will be interesting to see how that plays out and if it will be very different from last season.
