MLS Fantasy Challenge: Week 3 line-up

Here is the line-up for week two. I have three and my coach from Columbus because they are playing twice this week. Remember that the Rev's are off next week, so be cautious add Rev's players and think about replacing some.

Rogers got the boot because I didn't think he'd play this week, and I wanted three active player from Columbus. Preki's gone so that I can ger Warzycha, Columbus's coach. Same with Thorton, he's out and Hesmer is in.

Changes:
In: Will Hesmer, Robert Warzycha, Brian Mullan
Out: Zach Thorton, Preki, Robbie Rogers

Goalkeeper:
Will Hesmer - He's got two games, but both are away against some of the toughest teams in the western conference, RSL and Chivas USA. He could be big points or no points at all.

Defenders:
Jonathan Bornstein - He has been doing pretty well, instrumental in the shut-out last week at FC Dallas. Although he has yet to get any offensive points. It will be a tough game at home against Columbus this week.
Gonzalo Segares - Fire at home this week against the Red Bulls, this could definitely be a chance for a shut-out. Segares also scored against the Red Bulls last year, so maybe there's a chance for offensive points too.
Kosuke Kimura - Not looking good, away against Landon. This could be more negative points from Kimura. I would have made a change here if I had the luxury.

Midfielders:
Emmanuel Ekpo - He had a nice shot last week, but would probably prefer playing out on the wing instead of in the middle. I think I will probably unload him after this week. Hopefully he can do something in two games.
Brian Mullen - Houston is up against a still injury plagued D.C. United (who have played well considering). I'm not really sure about this pick, I would have liked to add Ralston, who looks like he is coming back from injury, but who know how long he will play and he is off next week. I also considered Holden instead, but I'm going to go with my gut.
Sainey Nyassi - I was trying to decide which of the Nyassi's was more likely to play, both are listed as probable. Sanna didn't play last week, and Sainey was subbed at half-time. In the end I decide on Sainey because of the match-up. New England is home against FC Dallas, as opposed to Seattle away at Toronto, a much tougher match.
Darren Huckerby - Kansas has struggled on defense, conceeding five goals in two games. I want to see Huckerby score on them. I thought he would be a points gold mine considering last year's performance.

Forwards:
Guillermo Barros Schelotto - Captain for me again this week. With two games this week let's hope that he can keep up the goal a game average. He's facing two tough opponents, but I have faith in him.
Juan Pablo Angel - I considered some complicated juggling to get rid of Angel and get
Donovan back on the team, but in the end I decide to stick with Angel (mostly because I didn't like the changes a move for Donovan would have caused). He is up against a good Chicago defense who are at home. Hopefully he'll rise to the challenge.
Fredy Montero - First away game for Seattle, and in a tough environment. BMO Field will be packed as usual, and this year TFC is fielding a good team. Being able to score away from home is what seperates the good strikers from the great ones.

Coach:
Robert Warzycha - Two winnable away games for Columbus, though I'm expecting a win and a draw. Columbus really need a win with only two draws so far.

Bench:
When I get a chance I think I am going to replace Vitti with a 175K player to free up some cash for starters. He played last week, but I'm not sure he'll play unless people are away on national team duty or injured.

Omar Gonzalez, Sanna Nyassi, Pablo Vitti

Tips:
Columbus plays twice and New England is off next week, plan accordingly. Especially since Columbus will be off the week after that (and you may have a bunch of them because of the two games this week).

Here is a list of relatively inexpensive player that have been performing well to fill out your roster around the big names:
Forwards: Cam Weaver 250K, Chris Wondolowski 250K (will Kamara replace him though)
Midfielders: Mac Kandji 251K, Osvaldo Alonso 250K, Chris Pontius 175K
Defenders: Zach Scott 250K, Jhon Kennedy Hurtado 250K, Chris Tierney 175K, Kevin Alston 175K (-1 points so far, but I think he's got potential)

Now here is, in my opinion, the best line-up this week starting from scratch and with no salary limits:

GK-
Will Hesmer
Two games.

Defense-
Chad Marshall
Two games, lots of set piece opportunities.
Gonzalo Segares
Playing against NY, whose only goal so far has been an own goal.
Bakary Soumare
Against NY (I hope Angel proves me wrong) and a threat on set pieces.

Midfield-
Dwayne De Rosario
At home, Seattle's first road game.
Amado Guevara
ditto
Javier Morales
First home game, even if it is against Columbus. He put up awesome numbers last year.
Darren Huckerby
I like his chances against the KC defense.

Forward-
Brian McBride
Home game against NY.
Landon Donovan
Scoring at home is practically automatic for him.
Kheli Dube
I think NE will win against FCD at home, so someone has to score for them.

Coach-
Robert Warzycha
Two games, at least one win right?
