This article is part of our MLS Fantasy Rankings series.

Welcome back to another season of MLS Fantasy Manager rankings from RotoWire! We'll once again be doing weekly rankings to help you make your fantasy decisions throughout the season, but for those in draft or "set it and forget it" leagues, here are our rankings for the entire season.

There are plenty of moving parts in Major League Soccer, with the biggest issue this season revolving around the World Cup. As a result, some players may be ranked lower than expected, as their cumulative returns won't be as high because they'll be gone from the league for more than a month.

If you have any comments or questions, please feel free to leave them below or contact our MLS experts on Twitter: JD Bazzo (@dfsMLS), Schuyler Redpath (@DraftKicks) and Adam Zdroik (@RotoZdroik), all of whom will be providing great content on RotoWire throughout the season.

We also have arguably the best MLS stats package, built specifically for fantasy players competing in either season-long or daily formats. Our premium soccer subscription is one of the most valuable you'll find, but if you'd like to try it out before diving in, simply click here for 10 days of free access to the site (no credit card required).

Note: points below are based on rankings. Each player ranked first received 50 points, second 49 points, etc. to help build a composite ranking among the three experts.

Editor's note: an earlier version of this article did not explain the points methodology. It has since been added.
