Gang: The MLS has allowed me to create a separate division for Burn fans to compete in the MLS Fantasy Challenge, and the winner of this division (regardless of overall standing in the game) will receive a 2003 BURN GAME JERSEY. All you need to do is sign-up your team (or an extra team) at: http://fantasygames.sportingnews.com/mls/fantasy/ And then put your team in the official division: Burn 03 There is also talk that we'll offer the winner the ability to be a "GM for a Day" but this has not yet been confirmed. Setting up this team-specific division is just another way that the MLS and TSN want you to get excited about the 2003 season, and to build fan interest in our fantasy game and the MLS. -ESB GM/TSN Games ebarmack@sportingnews.com
I thought I saw Stewart in there. For sale at like $231,000. Not sure if he's listed under strikers or mids, though. No Brian McBride? Did anybody see Frakie Hejduk?
You're right stopper4, I looked past Earnie. He is listed as a midfielder. Brian McBride is there, but no Frankie Hejduk.
That's the first thing I noticed... heh, shows how much of a ROB supporter I am... Don't understand why he's not listed... Freakin Fantasy people!
Watch out for scofflaws! It seems to me that one of the most intriguing players in the draft is Countess. He's priced at a rock bottom $100K which could be steal of the highest order if the Dallas D plays well. I didn't take him, but I certainly considered it when trying to cobble together a potential Ruiz/Ralston teamup. Don't bother, it's impossible.
I seriously considered that as well. I think there's a good chance that he might start for us early this season, and if he got a few goals right off the bat, his value might skyrocket. I went for a more veteran lineup, but a team of high-risk/high-reward players like Countess and Johnson could score big.
Geez, they still haven't fixed the Ronnie O thing? Preseason jitters? I just dropped Eddie Johnson and Chris Klein and added Edson Buddle and Manny Lagos.
Never took EJ, but have Morrow, Davis, and DJ. Have a Dallas Team though in another league I am in though.
I've count DJ, too. Plus Kreis. Chivas, and Suarez. Most fantasy leagues will only let you take 4 players from the same squad.
Not this one for some reason. here is the roster: Kreis Rhine Davis Deering Stone Pareja Morrow T-Bone Broome Suarez Countless
I warned all of you about scofflaws! Stopper, I think you might be making a mistake in dropping Klein, but I sure can't argue with Buddle and Lagos. I dropped Ruiz at the last minute due to his massive salary requirements, but I'm not sure if it was the right thing to do. I'd like to know how players who were not even active on Saturday can rise in value and also second the call, where the hell is Ronnie O'brien? Has anyone emailed mlsnet.com to ask?
