MLS Fantasy: Round 25

Having 3 Free Transfers helped me this week. I've been in a funk the last several rounds, so hopefully this line up gets me back on track:

G: Bono

D: Morrow, Moor, Campbell

M: Piatti, Pontius, Alonso, Lodeiro, Accam

F: Gio (C), Dempsey
 
I'm not completely content with my current roster for this week, but attempting to play the transfer game and navigate fielding full rosters this fantasy round, as well as in 2 rounds when there are more byes and some players leave for international duty:

G: Blake
D: Moor-Steres-Campbell-Bernardez
M: Piatti-Bedoya-Lodeiro
F: Dos Santos-Giovinco (C)-Morris
 
I lucked out tonight.

When I checked the starting line ups, I saw Morrow was on the bench for Toronto tonight. I panicked and brought it Bernardez for a -4. I really flipped when I saw Dempsey didn't even make Seattle's 18.

Fortunately both opponents in my H2H leagues seemed to have missed the fact there are mid-week matches this round. One guy has 5 eligible players on his roster and the other only 4.

It looks like it's going to be a blood pressure medicine round, because along with Dempsey, Keane and Gerrard were also left out. I also noted other starters like Morris, Cole, de Jong, dos Santos are on the bench.
 
Is Blues Clues an active poster on this site? Guy ignores the team from early April to late August, then makes three transfers this week, including bringing in 2 players who aren't playing this week.

I didn't realize come Round 27 there's another shitload of byes.

I've got 8 starters out in 2 weeks. I finagled with my roster all morning and with a little luck the hurt won't be too bad. It's not hurting the cause that one match in Round 26 is against a guy who gave up weeks ago (checked his roster and he still has Poku in his starting line up) and the other guy is at mid-table. I'm going to take the -8 this week and hope for the best.

With a little luck I won't have to take minus points in Round 27, but that's going to depend if Rowe can get back into the line up for L.A.. Since I'll have one player off the bench eligible to be subbed in, the worst case scenario would be a -4 if Rowe is a no go.

I still have my second half Wild Card, but I want to save that for Round 32 when 14 teams take the week off.

adam adam and I prepared this. We use it in the Forums Head to Head fantasy league. Utilize it going forward, big help.
 
I went with Dempsey for this round over Dos Santos, not thinking that there was a strong possibility Dempsey would be rested before the third and final derby with Portland. Still came out with 57 pts though

Not rested. Irregular heart beat.
