MLS Fantasy Rounds 24/25 are here, bringing a wild Double Gameweek that’s got everyone buzzing, except for us here in the Emerald City, because our Seattle Sounders are sitting this one out of the DGW action. Yep, Seattle, along with SKC, is left out of the equation for the big DGW, even as other teams gear up for multiple matches. So while Sofascore might split it into two rounds and Kickbase gives you the full DGW experience, we’re focused on what’s happening *elsewhere* this week.
The Drama Unfolds: Injuries, Yellow Cards, and High-Stakes Picks
Can we talk about Petar Musa for a second? The guy played the full match against SKC this past weekend, absolutely crushing it with a game-winning goal on a 97th-minute penalty kick. A 97th-minute PK winner! Wild, right? But now he’s questionable with an “upper body” injury, and there’s zero chatter about how serious it is. He just got called up for Croatia’s games later this month, so this is probably just precautionary, but it’s a huge curveball for anyone eyeing him for fantasy. You know we’ve gotta keep an eye on that Player Status Report and the Disciplinary Summary. And speaking of disciplinary, for all you DGW enjoyers, there are some big names on yellow card watch. Evander is the headliner there, alongside Waterman, Urhoghide, Pereyra, Nico Fernandez, Lovitz, Iloski, and Navarro. Taking these guys is a calculated risk, but if it’s Evander, it might just be worth it. The others? Maybe avoid the headache.
DGW Deep Dive: Who’s Hot and Who’s Not for Rounds 24/25
Looking at the DGW teams we like, LAFC is rocking possibly the best schedule, with Red Bull at home and SKC on the road. That SKC match alone is enough to vault them to the top, even if their results have been kinda rough for almost two months. But hey, RBNY and SKC have been just as bad, if not worse, lately, so we’re expecting LAFC to bang in a ton of goals and grab a solid 4-6 point fantasy week. Then there’s Chicago, facing some tough matchups but both are at home against Miami and New England. Chicago is third in the East, Miami is second, and the Revs are fourth, so these are serious tests. Chicago should score, but their defense will be under pressure. Vancouver showed some vulnerability, losing 3-1 at home to St. Louis, but this week they’ve got the Galaxy and Austin coming to town. These really shouldn’t be difficult matchups for a team as good as Vancouver. And finally, Charlotte’s got two road games against Montreal and Cincinnati. Those two teams have collectively shipped a massive 99 goals this year! Cincy can be strong at home, so that will be a battle, but you can definitely count on Charlotte’s offense to get on the scoreboard.
So, while our Sounders are sitting out this fantasy DGW, the action elsewhere is gonna be intense, Seattle. Keep those eyes peeled for the individual rounds tonight and on the weekend. Let’s hope next time our boys in green and blue are tearing it up on the fantasy pitch too!
