Last season, toward the bitter end, I screamed out to him "Medhi Ballouchy, you are not forgotten!" He couldn't stop smiling, I think he was impressed someone realized he still was on the team. Hopefully he'll have his 5 minutes of fame for us this year, but bout time you got him off your fantasy roster!

He got a couple run outs at forward during the preseason, so I thought I had me a genius sleeper pick. Oh well.

Took Joevin Jones out. Replaced with a cheap defender. Seattle is cold right now and Jones isn't balling. Thinking about transferring Larin because Orlando is injured plagued this week. But I'd like to keep three transfers for next week considering four teams play twice and I want to stock up on points. It's a marathon, not a sprint.
 
With $3.4 in the bank after last week's trades, I switched out spot-filler forward Salloi for Amerikwa, making Tony Taylor my 4th forward and leaving me with only one player on my roster who has no chance of playing in any given week. I like having good bench coverage for unexpected injuries or random DNPs.

Anyone else notice Accam is out with a knee injury!!! Love how it's only announced at 1pm today. Typical MLS. I guess I'll just have to wait for the auto sub.
 
Welcome to MLS Fantasy. Can't tell you how many times I got burned last season because of situations like that.

Same here. That's why I usually keep a starter or two on the bench. Played it a little coy this week and now have to hope rookie Kip Colvey gets the start again.
 
Anyone know what happened to Clarence Goodson? Now I will have an empty spot in my lineup. Unless they allow a 334 formation. I mean if NYCFC can play it...

I'd like to know too. I'm losing points, because once again Loyd isn't in the starting line up for Dallas and Goodson didn't even make the trip to L.A..

I'm going to assume they allow for two auto subs. Badji is the 1st guy off my bench, so I hope he has a big day vs DCU tomorrow. Vincent is the 2nd off my bench, so I'm looking at 6 points if he's subbed in.

I also have Badji, but since i play a 343 there's no way to sub him in. Making me reconsider holding onto a 4th F who plays, I'm better off with my 4th F having a minimum cost with a M who is a value but starts just in case to go along with my starting D player on the bench.

And as I type this SJ is given a straight red in injury time before the half. Not sure if Colvey & co can keep the clean shirt vs LA after that.

Started off the week great with a brace from Bruin, Felipe and Zardes. Then I find out Accam didn't even make the 18 and I get a 0 in that spot. So now I'm having an average week

I've been playing a 442 for the first three weeks. I've been thinking of going 352, but it's tough trying to get that 5th MF who can contribute. Perhaps I should just stick with the old "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" mantra.

LOL, for all the pissing and moaning I do, it looks like both my H2H opponents have it worse this week. Right now I'm sitting on 45 points (without any possible sub points from Badji or Vincent) and one opponent has 23 and the other 33.

So Colvey played 90 minutes and got 2 points. -1 for his team conceding 3 goals. And the -1 defending bonus????? Is this a glitch? How do you get a negative defending bonus?
 
Was he the one who committed the foul to give L.A. the PK in the 91'? Pretty sure you lose points for that.
