This article is part of our MLS Fantasy Rankings series.
The rankings below are for the first slate of matches in Round 4 of Major League Soccer only; they are not meant to be used for season-long consideration. They were done with a concentration on DFS scoring, including crosses.MLS is mostly off during the FIFA international break, but the matches below create a double game week for fantasy players of the season-long game. If you're looking for help on how to navigate those games, check out Schuyler Redpath's latest article.
