MLS Fantasy Manager: Week 2

I knew this week would be tough after seeing how my lineup faired during week 1. I hoped that switching my team's captaincy from Landon Donovan to Chris Wondolowski would be a smart move, and I hoped that transferring Michael Boxall for Tyler Polak would bring in an extra point.

Starting 11:
I started Josh Saunders in goal over Bill Hamid because I felt that LA would win versus DC, and did not want to risk losing points by starting Hamid. Hunter Jumper, Chris Wingert, A.J. DeLaGarza, and Tyler Polak started on defense, with Luis Silva, Lamar Neagle Graham Zusi, and Landon Donovan starting in the midfield. Chris Pontius and Chris Wondolowski started up top.

MLS Fantasy Manager: Week 1

Running a blog and going to school full time don't always work out perfectly, as evident by the recent decline in articles. I have finals this week and then a week of relaxation and hopefully catching up on soccer! Although I was unable to write about MLS First Kick or any of my prematch predictions, I was able to find the time to pick an MLS Fantasy Team, and I will be doing a weekly recap of that team if time permits.

Week 1 Roster:

I wanted to draft some of my favorite players, while still diversifying my roster and remaining under the salary cap limit. I picked up Chris Pontius, Chris Wondolowski, and Sam Garza to fill the 3 forward spots. I felt Wondolowski and Pontius will put up consistent numbers, and wanted Garza because of his low Salary and Big West affiliation.
