Looking Ahead
The upcoming round is a weird one. We have unlimited transfers this week because there are just three matches. Montreal plays twice, and the Red Bulls, Vancouver, Dallas, and Colorado all play once. Everyone else is on bye. We also get unlimited texts next week to make our rosters right for the stretch run. In the meantime, go with Evan Bush (MTL, $5.5) for his games @NYR and @COL. In defense, try on Matt Hedges (DAL, $9.8) @VAN. Pedro Morales (VAN, $11.5) is your man in midfield vs. DAL, and Didier Drogba (MTL, $10.6) should be your forward.
