MLS Fantasy Advice: Portland Timbers shine in Round 13, but Pedro Morales gets the last laugh

TRANSFER DEADLINE: Wednesday, 730pm ET




Round 13 of MLS Fantasy was an average week for several managers. Sporting KC's Dom Dwyer was the most-captained player and the top score was 112 points.


There's another quick turnaround this week. Round 14 kicks off on Wednesday with two matches - Columbus vs Real Salt Lake and Colorado vs Chicago. All four of these teams will benefit from a double-game week.


Here's the recap for Round 13 along with the top transfers both in and out so far this week.

Top Transfers (OUT)


Most managers are dropping Torres and Dwyer after rough performances of just three and four points, respectively. They're also moving Kronberg out in favor of Irwin.


Sporting KC travel to Houston this week to take on a Dynamo squad that has struggled to score goals as of late, dropping their last three matches by a goal margin of 8-0.


With that said, Sporting's defense might not be such a bad play this week, especially with Lawrence Olum returning from international duty. Keep in mind, however, that Aurelien Collin did leave Saturday's game (in the 9th minute) with a right hamstring injury.
