Managing a MLS Fantasy team can be a challenging task, but there are plenty of resources to help you keep up on everything you need to put out the best team possible.
With that in mind, we've put together a list of some well-known media members who'll help you stay up to date on all the latest news regarding your players. There are plenty of phenomenal writers, reporters and journalists covering soccer in North America, but the people listed below work closely with each individual team.
They are the best people to look to for advice. They attend practices and games. They interview the players and coaches. These are the people you want to be getting updates from as you make transfers and set your XI, so give them a follow and read their work. It will help you at some point or another, I promise.
Also, make sure that you're following MLS, MLS PR, the MLSsoccer.com staff and each of the club's individual Twitter handles. All of that information can be found here.
