MLS Fantasy is back!

Marco_PreseasonMTL

With the 2019 Major League Soccer kicking off at Talen Energy Stadium as Philadelphia Union host Toronto FC, not only is everyone's favorite sport back but so it MLS Fantasy!


With everyone preparing for their first lineups of the year, here are some Union players that are worth the investment of your overall fantasy budget.


Marco Fabián- Midfielder
Valued at $9 million, Fabián is being given the keys to the Union offense which means expect a lot of key passes and the ever-growing chance of a goal or assist. Fabián needed two matches to find the back of the net with the Boys in Blue and expectations are high for the Mexican International wearing the No. 10 kit. While nothing is a guarantee, there is certainly room for high returns for MLS-newcomer.


Andre Blake- Goalkeeper
Saves by Dre. There is a reason for all the highlight and jaw-dropping saves from the Jamaican captain. Valued at $5.5 million, some analysts say it's better to spend your salary cap on attacking pieces. Blake is coming off a career-best 10 shutouts and while he will miss time for the Gold Cup there is no way Dre isn't between the sticks for the Union when healthy and available.


Fafa Picault- Forward
Ten goals and five assists from the salsa-dancing phenom, Picault has moved inside with the Union's new formation. With the move inside, Picault still can utilize his blazing speed to beat defenders and create plays. Whether for himself or other, Picault is quite a bargain at $8 million while giving the salary cap flexibility for the rest of your starting lineup.


Auston Trusty- Defender
When picking a defender for your lineup you look for a few things. Minutes on the pitch is near the top and Auston Trusty was that in 2018 and is expected to be that once more. He also brings the added bonus that he contributes on set pieces, picking up a goal and assist. For counting just $5.5 million on the salary cap, hard to find a player that will consistently pick up fantasy points with every single start.
