REMINDER: The transfer deadline for Round 34 is TONIGHT, October 9, at 8:15 pm ET!
MLSsoccer.com's Andrew Wiebe is off with the US men's national team, so he isn't here to walk you through this week's episode of "Starting Lineup" (above). Sorry #TeamWiebe supporters, you'll have to look to Newborn FC general manager, Jason Saghini, for Round 34 advice. #TeamSaghini fans ... he's back.
Bye weeks, suspensions and national team call-ups should drastically affect your lineups over the next couple weeks. Read through all the information below and then set your lineup before the 8:15 pm ET deadline tonight!
For those of you still left in the race for MLS Fantasy Cup stardom, the field has been narrowed down to 512 players. After this week it will be down to just 256! Good luck everyone.
