GW3 may be the Game week where you want to steal a march on your fellow mini-league competitors or to gain a couple of vital fantasy points a steal a march on the MLS Fantasy World.

Well we are here to help and we are going to bring you a differential MLS Fantasy article to open your mind to an endless world of possibilities. We will look at three player differentials to “Fix your Team”.

We are going to look at New York City F.C., Vancouver Whitecaps and F.C. Dallas:

NYCFC: Our Heavy hitter for New York’s new franchise team is David Villa($10.2), well our differential pick for him is Patrick Mullins ($6.5). Coming on as a substitute in their home opener of this season, David Villa provided an assist to Mullins to get off the mark against New England Revolution. This week Mullins and NYCFC go away to Colorado to face the Rapids. NYCFC sit atop the Eastern Conference at this early stage, while their Western Conference opponents sit second from bottom in their respective conference.

I am predicting another NYCFC win, but for it to be a closer fought affair.

VWFC: At the back is where it is for Vancouver Whitecaps and that is where our differential pick is for this week. Instead of going for his pricer picks of Steven Beitashour($7.7) or Kendall Waston($8.6), why not go for Pa-Modou Kah($6.6). Kah has been making the early season running for VWFC and sits atop their Fantasy scoreboard with 14 points. An early season differential indeed. Beitashour comes in with 13 and Waston 11. Vancouver go away to new franchise club Orlando City SC this weekend, both teams sit in the play-off positions in their respective Conferences.

I am predicting a close game, maybe a draw, like 1-1 or 2-2.

FCD: This week F.C. Dallas who lead the way at this early stage in the Western Conference play Philadelphia Union who sit just inside the play-off positions of the Eastern Conference. Our differential pick for F.C. Dallas is at the back this week. I think its time we all look seriously at the F.C. Dallas defense and look at Moises Hernandez ($6.6) instead of Matt Hedges($9.0) or Zach Loyd($7.6). Hernandez is just a point off of Loyd 13 – 12 and this week there could be a shut-out for the Texans against Philly. Clean-sheets all round.

This weekend, I am predicting a 2-0 win for F.C. Dallas and for them to continue their early season run of results.
