MLS Fantasy Soccer 2020 GW12

Gameweek 12 of MLS Fantasy Soccer sees four teams – FC Dallas, Nashville SC, New England Revolution and Philadelphia Union – facing a double gameweek. The rest all must make do with one match.

Goalkeeper

Strongly Consider

Joe Willis (Nashville SC) is ideal for anyone running a keeperoo. His two fixtures will have been completed before most of the SGW teams have stepped onto the pitch so put Willis on the bench to start with.

Think About

Sean Johnson (New York City) and Andrew Putna (Real Salt Lake) are possible choices for the second keeper spot should Willis not bring back a decent return.

Defenders

Must Have

Anton Tinnerholm (New York City) is the highest scoring defender in Fantasy MLS this season. A home game against Montreal Impact has the potential for attacking and defensive points.

Strongly Consider

Nashville have managed seven clean sheets this season. Walker Zimmerman ($11.1m) and Dave Romney ($7.5m) will hopefully have two chances to add to that total.

Think About

Brooks Lennon (Atlanta United) is listed as a defender but often plays much further upfield. Definitely worth considering.

Midfield

Must Have

Nicolas Lodeiro (Seattle Sounders) faces a vital top of the table clash against old rivals, Portland Timbers. Expect fantasy points, even if he doesn’t score or assist.

Strongly Consider

Lee Nguyen will start at least one of New England’s two fixtures and can generate points, regardless of the opposition.

Lewis Morgan has delivered 45 points from his last five games and continues to be Inter Miami’s best option. He may even benefit from Gonzalo Higuain’s suspension.

Forwards

Strongly Consider

While El Trafico hasn’t always been kind to LAFC, their attackers will relish a home game against the Galaxy, given the visitors current form. The returning Diego Rossi or Bradley Wright Phillips could be in for a good week.

Think About

Lucas Cavellini (Vancouver Whitecaps) has three goals in his last three games and is worth a look for a home game against San Jose Earthquakes.

In the same match, anyone playing catch up and looking for a differential could go for Andres Rios. The San Jose striker has three goals in his last five games.

Beware

Kacper Przybylko (Philadelphia Union) has gone six games without a goal and has last four appearances have resulted in a total of just 10 fantasy points. Despite being on a DGW, there are better options.
