Fantasy: Week 21 positional rankings

Reid, Mike and Blayne are joined by Patreon Supporter Special Guest Josh Lewis (AKA CatNip Junkies) to review all of the Fantasy takeaways from Round 20 and take a short detour to talk about Mike Petke’s amazing postgame interview. After that, Reid covers many of the important points to keep in mind while picking one of your final teams for the Spring Fantasy season and reminds every one of which teams are participating in midweek domestic cup games. They conclude the show with a breakdown of which DGW players are worth grabbing this week and which SGW games offer the most fantasy point potential.

Week 21 brings an end to the Spring season in head-to-head leagues with both Minnesota and New England playing twice. Here are this week’s MLS Fantasy positional rankings.
