Deke Mathews previews the Western Conference in the fourth part of his 2024 MLS series, including a look at FC Dallas and Bernard Kamungo.

He is not the highest-ranked forward this week, but RotoWire's JD Bazzo has Zlatan Ibrahimovic near the top and explains why he should be heavily considered for the fantasy captain's armband in Week 30.

A limited slate of matches over the FIFA international break reduces the player pool significantly, but Portland's Diego Valeri is still around for a great home matchup against Sporting KC.

While Carlos Vela is an easy play for Week 25, RotoWire's JD Bazzo thinks Eduard Atuesta is just as much of a lock.

With two games in Week 23, New York City FC's Maximiliano Moralez moves to the top of one of JD Bazzo's positional rankings.

There are a number of forwards angling for the second spot in JD Bazzo's weekly positional rankings, but there's no question that Carlos Vela is above them all.

Carlos Vela is averaging a goal and half an assist per match this season, and with two games against FC Dallas this week, he easily takes a top spot in JD Bazzo's positional rankings.

Carlos Vela has been one of the best players in Major League Soccer this season, and RotoWire's JD Bazzo is fully expecting it to continue this week with LA FC playing two games.

With now only two teams on a double gameweek, Zlatan Ibrahimovic moves a little higher up JD Bazzo's updated weekly positional rankings.

LA FC have one of the easiest matchups of the season in a shortened Week 4, which helps put Carlos Vela, Adama Diomande and Diego Rossi high in JD Bazzo's weekly positional rankings.

Carlos Vela was incredibly active in LAFC's win over Sporting KC last week, and he should be similarly productive in Week 2 against Portland.

Sebastian Giovinco reminded everyone last week that he's still one of the best players in Major League Soccer, and he makes for a great captain choice again with two games in Week 11.
