MLS Fantasy Week 26: Messi's Back!
Lineup Tweaks for the Argentine's Return
The news that Lionel Messi is back in action for Paris Saint-Germain is music to the ears of MLS Fantasy managers everywhere. Messi has been out injured since March but is expected to make his return this weekend against Lorient.
Messi's return is a major boost for PSG's attack, who have struggled for goals in his absence. The Argentine superstar is one of the best players in the world and will be looking to make an immediate impact on his return.
MLS Fantasy managers will be keen to get Messi into their teams, but they will need to make some lineup tweaks to accommodate him. Here are a few tips:
Sell players
If you have any players who are not performing well, now is the time to sell them and free up some budget to buy Messi.
Downgrade players
If you have any players who are expensive, you may want to consider downgrading them to a cheaper option to free up some budget for Messi.
Play Messi as a forward
Messi is a natural forward, so it makes sense to play him in that position in MLS Fantasy. He will be more likely to score goals and get assists from this position.
Captain Messi
Messi is one of the best players in the world, so he is always a good choice for captain. He has the potential to score big points and help you win your league.
Other Players to Consider
In addition to Messi, there are a few other players who could be worth considering for your MLS Fantasy team this week.
Xherdan Shaqiri (CHI)
Shaqiri has been in good form for Chicago Fire lately, scoring two goals in his last three games. He is a good value pick at just $7.0 million.
Lucas Zelarayan (CLB)
