Clint Dempsey was a focal point of USA's attack at the 2014 World Cup, and although several USMNT fans are still trying to cope with the team's recent loss to Belgium, Seattle Sounders - and MLS Fantasy owners - will gladly welcome him back to MLS with open arms.
Along with Dempsey, Sounders teammate DeAndre Yedlin, Kyle Beckerman, Michael Bradley and Graham Zusi are among the most coveted internationals returning from Brazil.
Prepare yourself for next week's games by reviewing the top 20 transfers IN for Round 18 below.
And remember, players are at risk of gaining or losing value at any given time -- so be on the lookout. Nine players have already increased in value. See the full list HERE!
