MLS Fantasy Challenge: Week 16 line-up

Sorry, this post is out sooooo late that it will be useless to everybody. That might not be such a bad thing though, because I don't have a very good team this week. I already missed the RSL v. SJ match, so clearly I can't use players from that game (lucky break for me, 1-1 tie).

I had some unexpected injuries and I wasn't thinking about Gold Cup rosters, as a result, I have three people in my line-up this week that probably won't play: Frei (off this week), Marshall (Gold Cup) and Mac Kandji (injuried, though he is questionable, so he might play). Toronto, Seattle and Chivas are off this week. DC United, New York and Real Salt Lake are off next week. Make sure you check Gold Cup rosters for missing players next week:

So here's what I've got this week:

Changes:
In: Omar Cummings, Landon Donovan, Marco Pappa
Out: Juan Pablo Angel, Kasey Keller, Stuart Holden

Landon is back after a stellar Confederations Cup for him. I can't remember why I specifically chose Cummings, but he has been playing well lately, too bad I'm an idiot and he is on Jamaica's Gold Cup roster. Macro Pappa was one of the few good, reasonably priced midfielders not playing in Gold Cup. Juan Pablo Angel is listed as questionable and may not play this week and is off next week. Keller doesn't play this week or the week after next, so he is gone. Holden is going to be involved in Gold Cup, so he won't be available to the Dynamo for a while.

I'm going to skip the break-down of my line-up this week because it will be too late to help anybody anyways. So straight the best line-up this week starting from scratch and with no salary limits, in my opinion:

GK- Josh Saunders (LA)
At home v. NE who have been decimated by injuries (Joseph, Twellman and Ralston are all out), Landon's back too.

Defense-
Omar Gonzalez (LA)
see above
Gino Padula (CLB)
Home game v. DC, who will be without Fred, Quaranta, and Emilio, not as dangerous as usual.
Drew Moor (FCD)
At home v. NY who will probably be without JPA and Mac Kandji, there two most dangerous weapons.

Midfield-
Emmanuel Ekpo (CLB)
Home v. DC
Cuauhtemoc Blanco (CHI)
Away v. Colorado. He's not on the gold Cup roster so I'll take him.
Dave van den Bergh (FCD)
At home vs. his old team missing important players.
David Arturo Ferreira (FCD)
The only week ever I will pick three guys from FCD (especially since Kenny Cooper isn't one of them)

Forward-
Guillermo Barros Schelotto (CLB)
At home v. DC, who are missing there usual center back.
Landon Donovan (LA)
At home v. seriously weakened NE team (Captain).
Edson Buddle (LA)
see above.

Coach- Bruce Arena (LA)
I think LA with Landon can handle the injury depleted Revs.
