I’ve been toying with this piece for a while now and have decided, since Eire is Irish for Ireland, I decided that for my GW5 Preview article I was going to look at the Irish in MLS Fantasy.

Robbie Keane – LA Galaxy: $11.1

One of the Heavy Hitters in the MLS Fantasy game. He missed LA’s last game out and perhaps that’s why they were a bit off form and were defeated by D.C. United. This week, depending on jet-lag, Keane may not be back for the Galaxy’s trip “up North” to play Vancouver Whitecaps. With Zardes not on-form as of late, Robbie Keane may be called upon to deliver the goals and goods for the LA strike-force.

Question is though, is he is your team? or are you willing to stump up the cash and get the MLS League MVP for the last two seasons running into your team.

Sean St Ledger – Orlando City SC: $7.6

Never thought, I’d see the day that Sean St. Ledger would be on the same team as Brazilian legend, Kaka. But, he is and he is an Irish MLS player. I suppose from a MLS Fantasy point of view, he would be considered a Fantasy differential pick for your team. This is because, he would usually be a squad player and is subject to a rotation policy.

Orlando City are the Friday night game this week and they play host to D.C. United who stunned LA Galaxy last time out. St. Ledger could play in this one, with players like Ramos coming back from International duty.

Ryan Meara – New York City F.C.: $5.0

An Irish goalkeeper for the newly “born” New York franchise, that is under Manchester City ownership. He is the ultimate differential as he is the third choice keeper for NYCFC. Just because, he is Irish, I said that I would mention him.

*Reminder, Kevin Doyle is joining the Colorado Rapids on July 1st.*

Haven't seen this vine of Kevin Doyle from the weekend yet..desperate to join the celebrations…! https://t.co/Ir0TnMSE0m #weRtogether — JL (@JLQPR) May 30, 2014
