We’ve made it – the final week of the MLS Fantasy Soccer Season. A season that started in February is finally coming to an end.

For managers it’s the last chance to make a big climb up the standings or to cement a strong overall rank. With so many teams having so much to play for, there are plenty of great options this week, including twelve teams with a double gameweek.

Goalkeeper

Strongly Consider

The fixtures have bee kindn once again to anyone looking to play a keeperoo. Select Pedro Gallese (Orlando City), Joe Willis (Nashville SC) or Eloy Room (Columbus Crew) and have two shots at a clean sheet before some of the single gameweek keepers have taken to the field.

Think About

Tim Melia (Sporting KC) is one of those backup keepers worth thinking about.

Defenders

Strongly Consider

Nashville SC have managed nine clean sheets in this shortened season. Give serious thought to Walker Zimmerman or, if you’re budget doesn’t extend that far, Dave Romney.

With a home fixture against FC Cincinnati, Inter Miami appear to be one of the better SGW options. Leandro Gonzalez Pirez is a very reasonable $6.1m.

Think About

Portland Timbers and Seattle Sounders coverage could be useful as both aim to finish as top seed in the Western Conference.

Despite a tricky match at home to New England Revolution, don’t rule out a Philadelphia Union defender either.

Midfield

Must Have

Nicolas Lodeiro (Seattle Sounders) has double digit returns in four of his last seven fixtures and two favourable match ups – simple.

Strongly Consider

Diego Valerio (Portland Timbers), Pedro Santos (Columbus Crew), Alejandro Pozuelo (Toronto FC) and Lewis Morgan (Inter Miami) are obvious choices but consistently manage big scores.

Randall Leal’s form has improved significantly over the past four weeks, providing fantasy returns of 14, 6, 10 and 6. Games against FC Dallas (home) and Orlando City (away) provide two decent opportunities for more from the Nashville midfielder.

Think About

Chris Mueller (Orlando City) has had an impressive season with six goals and six assists. He also managed 10 points last time out against Atlanta United.

In his past two games, Yimmi Chara (Portland Timbers) has fantasy scores of 15 (including four assists) and 9 and could be a differential option.

There haven’t been many genuine fantasy options from DC United this season but Julian Gressel and Yamil Asad have recently shown signs of the form that made them so important in previous years.

Forwards

Strongly Consider

With five goals and three assists from his last six games, Raul Ruidiaz (Seattle Sounders) continues to be one of the most effective strikers in the game.

He’s went under the radar for much of the season but Robert Beric (Chicago Fire) is a consistent scorer with 8 goals from 11 games.

While doubts remain about Carlos Vela’s gametime, Diego Rossi is the best LAFC attacking option.

Beware

For much of the season Kacper Przybylko (Philadelphia Union) and Gyasi Zardes (Columbus Crew) would have been amongst the first players included in many fantasy teams. However, inconsistent form means that they are now a bit of a gamble. Take one, but not both.
