MLS Fantasy Soccer 2021 GW17

It’s another quick turnaround and another double gameweek for the 17th round of MLS Fantasy Soccer. Nashville SC and LAFC have one game, everyone else plays twice.

Goalkeeper

Strongly Consider

Take Jonathan Bond (LA Galaxy) or JT Marchinkowski (San Jose Earthquakes) for one game on the bench. If it doesn’t work, then move onto a keeper with two games still to play.

From those later fixtures Matt Turner (New England Revolution) has two home games against DC United and FC Cincinnati.

Think About

Kenneth Vermeer (FC Cincinnati), Carlos Coronel (New York Red Bulls) and Brad Stuver (Austin FC) all have clean sheet chances this week.

Defenders

Strongly Consider

DeJuan Jones (New England Revolution) managed 8 points at Toronto FC last week and has two home games. His team-mate, Brandon Bye, is also a good option.

Aaron Herrera (Real Salt Lake) has two clean sheets and 20 points in his last three home games.

Think About

Other defenders for this week include Kyle Duncan (New York Red Bulls), Julian Araujo (LA Galaxy) and some Philadelphia Union or Sporting Kansas City cover.

Midfield

Strongly Consider

Tajon Buchanan is another strong New England option this week.

Albert Rusnak (Real Salt Lake) has 16 points from his last two games and the home game with Houston Dynamo looks like a chance for more points.

Think About

Despite only five points against LAFC, Marcelino Moreno (Atlanta United) is worth considering and Hany Mukhtar (Nashville SC) is a promising SGW option after 12 points against DC United.

Forwards

Strongly Consider

Gustavo Bou and Adam Buksa (both New England Revolution) are amongst the best striker choices this week.

Likewise, the Sporting Kansas City due, Daniel Salloi and Alan Pulido, should be in your thoughts.

And if you need someone to save your gameweek, Carlos Vela (LAFC) plays his only match in the final fixture of the round.
