Reid, Mike, and Blayne are joined by very special (and international) Patreon guest Jason Morris to talk about all the exciting fantasy takeaways from Round 22 and preview all of the important changes for the Fall Fantasy Season transition. We find out if Mike took his own advice about Rooney, if the All-Star game will hurt fantasy production, mention early strategies for the start of the Fall season, and cover which teams have the most attractive players for Round 23. It’s a must listen if you’re joining the fantasy game midway through the year or if you’re a veteran who just wants to be prepared.

With the Spring season in the rearview mirror, fantasy managers get to hit the reset button in Week 23, as it marks the first week of the MLS Fantasy Fall season. Let’s dive right in and take a closer look at the top players at each position this week.

Goalkeepers

Sean Johnson has kept a clean sheet in four of his last five outings for New York City FC and has a shutout in three straight at Yankee Stadium. That bodes well with a home game against a Vancouver Whitecaps team that has been outscored 10-1 over their last four road games (Saturday; 8 pm ET | TSN2 — Full TV & streaming info).
