Week 9 line-up change
jleppig made a good suggestion, I am going to get Keller instead of Ralston and move Frei to the bench. I really already had more midfield depth than I needed and who knows how fit Ralston is yet.
I hope that works out for you. I toyed with the idea of adding Keller, but after seeing that a keeper only gets 2 points per save and only 20 for a clean sheet, I decided to go with an extra midfielder this week. I took your advice about getting rid of Alonso. I'm just stuck now trying to find a good midfielder. Mids have more than twice as many assists and get 50% more points from them than fwds.
What do you think of going 3-5-2 this week? Any thoughts on a promising mid for $393K? I was looking at New England since the bookies have them as the favorite. RSL is favored even more over KC.
I like to keep three up top if I can. Forwards generally get points more consistently than midfielders. But you can rack up some huge points if you hit on your midfielders.
I'd tentatively recommend Ralston in the mid-300's, but who knows how much he'll play. I don't really like anyone right in that ball park, there are good additions cheaper (Pappa) and more expensive (Morales, DeRo).
Welcome to my guide for the 2009 Major League Soccer Fantasy Challenge. Why should you read what I have to say? Here's my resume, as an intern for the league office last year, I finished first in our league. So I beat out a whole bunch of people who are supposed to be the most knowledgeable about the League (Garber didn't have a team, but he's no expert about the on-field product). Anyways, I decided to start blogging about my thought process for picking a fantasy team.
