Eastern Conference Final Fantasy Football Picks
Orlando City has been the surprise package of this season in the Eastern Conference. Few will be doubting the team’s potential after yesterday’s performance against Atalanta United. Ramiro Enrique secured a 39th-minute winner. Now, Orlando, the team that previously knocked out Lionel Messi’s highly-rated Inter Miami, is confidently eating up for the Eastern Conference Final.
Who from Orlando City to watch out for in fantasy football? Peruvian Pedro Gallese is a reliable goalkeeper. Few defenders have been more reliable than Robin Jansson. And, striker Ramiro Enrique has s
NY Red Bulls are certainly the better-known of the two teams. The New Yorkers have made the best of a campaign in which Swedish playmaker Emil Forsberg has shone. Their semi-final win against local rivals, New York City FC, with goals from Felipe Carballo and Dante Vanzier, has proven who top dogs in town really are.
Emil Forsberg is the star NY Red Bulls and, until recently, one of the more exciting players active in European football. Goalkeeper Carlos Colonel is another that you will want to pay close attention to when putting together your squad.
Western Conference Final Fantasy Football Picks
LA Galaxy is the MLS team of the moment. The team’s 6-2 over Minnesota United on Sunday evening was as much a statement as a ticket to the Western Conference final.
In fact, at the moment, it appears that LA Galaxy can simply not stop scoring. They’ve put 15 goals past opponents in the past three games, with strikers Gabriel Pec, Dejan Joveljic and Joseph Paintsil in exceptional form.
In fact, Joveljic is one of the best-rated strikers in the MLS this season, but it’s hard to look past Joseph Paintsil and Gabriel Pec when assembling your team.
Still, don’t count Seattle Sounders out just yet. The Rave Green has enjoyed a strong, consistent season, with some of their players regularly featuring among the very best in the league.
Victory against the top-rated LAFC in the semi-finals was further proof of Sounders’ uncountable quality. LAFC is, after all, a team that includes the talents of players like Hugo Lloris and Olivier Giroud.
It all starts with a great defense. Seattle Sounders on the great keeping of Stefan Frei, something of an MLS legend. Slovakia’s Albert Rusnak vitally contributed 10 goals and 12 assists this campaign. And, striker Jordan Morris, with his own 13 goals, is the team’s top scorer and worth considering for your MLS fantasy football team.
