MLS Fantasy: Round 27

[Jack]

Very tricky week coming up. Deadline is Thursday 7pm. 8 out of 20 teams are on byes and a number of international call-ups.

MLS international call-ups article detailed below (from 8/29). It is important to read this because MLS or rotowire haven't acknowledge these players as unavailable, yet:

Use your Gio Dollars wisely.

I really need to learn to be more patient. Transferred Kljestan on to my team after the initial USMNT roster was released and since then he's been added.

This is at least the third time I've been stung by making moves too soon (and honestly I don't think I'm going to learn my lesson quite yet).

Perhaps you wait till after this week. Take a -4 if needed. Then, load up on the teams that have week 28 doubles (LA, Montreal, Orlando, RSL)

Anyone know why Steres only played 47 minutes last week? Also, if any of you have Robles at GK, he is now questionable to play this weekend.

Pulled up the game on MLSLive and it appears that Steres was going to be given a night off and didn't start (Leonardo started in his place), but he ended up coming in before halftime after Van Damme hurt his knee. Steres should be back this week, especially with Van Damme and De Jong gone

I had to take -8 this week to field a team due to some unforeseen absences. Oh well. I think I can still get a reasonable amount of points. Trying to save that wild card for Week 32 or whichever one is crazy right before they give you unlimited transfers

I'm kicking myself for not changing my captain from Villa to Dos Santos.

I chose my captain, Ethan Finlay, based on the site's EPNR estimate, and what a damp squib. It's nice to collect 35 points from dos Santos, but 70 would be better.

Important takeaway here for anyone who likes the USA is don't count on a guy who runs fast and has no touch.
