The Major League Soccer (MLS) Fantasy enthusiasts are in for a treat as the highly anticipated Leagues Cup has concluded, paving the way for an exciting return to the regular MLS season, with just eight rounds left to play. The competitive spirit is at an all-time high as teams battle it out for fantasy supremacy.
Julian Gressel, the dynamic player known for his attacking prowess, had an impressive streak of seven consecutive games with either a goal or an assist. However, his remarkable run came to an end in Round 22. Despite this setback, Gressel remains a key figure for Inter Miami, playing in a more advanced position and taking charge of set pieces. His ability to contribute offensively from a defensive position makes him a valuable asset in MLS Fantasy. With Gressel’s tendency to deliver big points in bursts, many fantasy managers opt to have him on the bench initially and assess his performance in the early games before finalizing their lineup.
The LA Galaxy showcased their attacking firepower in Round 22, with a trio of Riqui Puig, Joseph Paintsil, and Gabriel Pec wreaking havoc on the opposition. The three players combined for an impressive tally of five goals, five assists, and a whopping 70 fantasy points. The addition of German midfielder Marco Reus only strengthens their attacking options, providing more depth and creativity in the final third. Puig, in particular, has been a standout performer, consistently delivering double-digit fantasy points in four of his last six outings. With such a stellar track record, Puig emerges as a top contender for the captaincy role in the upcoming matches.
As the MLS Fantasy season heats up, managers are faced with tough decisions on how to optimize their squad for maximum points. The recent performances of players like Gressel, Puig, Paintsil, and Pec present intriguing opportunities for fantasy managers to capitalize on their form and potential. With the race for fantasy glory intensifying, every point earned could make a significant difference in the final standings. Stay tuned for more updates and analysis as the MLS Fantasy season unfolds with thrilling twists and turns at every corner.
