only 17,000 entries. Seems pretty small.

[Abou Sky]

Well 34 points but all 3 strikers and Beckerman haven't played yet so hopefully I get a boost after the end of the day.

hmmm....gonna have some interesting lineup rejigging this weekend, as I loaded up on players for week 1 whose teams all happen to have byes because of the CCL. Wish I'd known about that beforehand, haha!

[Abou Sky]

Well my 8 year old spanked me in the last round, I got 49 and he got 69!

I guess the fact that he watches the replays of all the games on MLS Live probably helps.

That said, the international duty thing is going to be a pain, I think half my team is gone and best players defo gone.

Good article on it:

Thanks for that.

Some good suggestions in there.

Damn I messed up this weeks picks...

I didn't notice Philly was on a bye week and left Le Toux and Park on my team.

Waste of two players right there. Tabernac!

If you have guys whose games are tomorrow sitting on the bench, you can sub them in. They changed the rules this year.

Unfortunately I don't... I got Earnshaw, Cahil, and Omar Gonzalez on the bench.

I really knackered the picks this week. I should have used a wild card and paid better attention.

Unfortunately, I only noticed at 4PM that I had Rimando and Nyassi, both on international duty, in the starting lineup. It can't be changed until after today's games have ended, which include LA (I have Cudicini on bench) How annoying.

[Abou Sky]

I got uber screwed because I bought Perkins but left Rimando in net... Grrr...

Son is spanking me again so far this week. Bieber doing jack for me and him choosing Di Vaio as his cap put nail in that one. His team is now worth $101.7m and this is his second round!

It really amazes me his knowledge of the game, he instantly called the DC offside interference today vs Columbus. (yelled it not called it)

Using your wildcard doesn't make sense now because you will want those players back next week, best to bite the bullet and have an off week, most people will too. The few who don't will likely have poor seasons.

Pekduck/Kev makes a move to 11th place for TFC supporters!

Congratulations sir.

Armen with the honourable mention at 19th!

Good little show on Fantasy League:

http://www.mlssoccer.com/video/2013/...fantasy-week-5

I disagree on the Rimando OR Perkins debate, I have both and they aren't much money so I think it is worth keeping a trade open for future rounds and be able to switch if one is on a bye week/international duty etc.

I got kind of screwed as I picked Espindola and now he may be injured.

I am going to wait until Saturday morning before making any changes but SKC are at home so it might be worth bringing Bieler back in.

[Voodooman]

ughh my team just sucks haha

Yeah me to. Damn it I took a 4 point hit to get him out for Ryan Johnson, I have a feeling with all the chances he's had lately that he's due for brace or something.

I'm liking my team this week.

[Abou Sky]

Dammit!

http://www.bigapplesoccer.com/teams/...ticle_id=33204

Espindola is out, guess I am taking the hit and putting in Bieler

My son's team now worth $102.3m and he joined in Rd 3!?

[Abou Sky]

Marco Di Viao and Todd Dunivant out, Frederico Higuan and Josh Williams in.

Colombus is playing Philly at home so I think they can come away with a clean sheet and hopefully a couple of goals for Higuan. (Whom if you didn't know IS in fact the brother of THAT Higuan! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gonzalo_Higua%C3%ADn )

Good video on this week's pics,

m.mlssoccer.com/video/2013/04/04/starting-lineup-mls-fantasy-week-6

I have zusi BUT with 40% of teams holding him it makes it hard to outperform. I have the armband on Higuain

[Stouffville_RPB]

already made a bunch of these moves already. there goes weeks of work. thanks mlssoccer.com

[Abou Sky]

Ya, but did you have that Dallas defender?

[pekduck]

didn't plan that well.. most of my starters play against each other this week.... gonna be a painful outing

That happened last week with me and I came away with 66pts,it isn't all bad. Especially if those playing each other are your mids and forwards

[Technorgasm]

shit ! I havent logged in since week 2 (when I signed up, so I missed a week of juicy points!)

[Stouffville_RPB]

Have Michel and Hedges from FCD

[Alonso]

Have Michel and Hedges from FCD

Haha me to.

I thought the same thing after watching that episode... fuck... why am I crunching these numbers when they'll do it for me?

[Stouffville_RPB]

I'm more pissed that now everyone will have these guys and therefore make it almost impossible for me to distance myself/make up ground.

BTW if you need to be told to get Graham Zusi on your squad or to make him your captain by now you really haven't been paying attention.

Agreed.

I think half the league has him as captain by this point.

[Alonso]

Although there is a bright side to all this.

I bought Michel at $5M only this week... after that episode he's worth $5.3M now...

I bought Robert Earnshaw day 1 when he arrived for $7.5M .... after that episode he's at $8.2M

These guys are talking up my stock :-)

[Canary10]

Agreed.

Zusi gets points for putting his shirt on the right way and his boots on the right feet.

Graham Zusi conspiracy theory?!?
