This article is part of our MLS Fantasy Rankings series.
We've expanded the rankings this week because there are a number of players who qualify as forwards in some games and midfielders in others. To provide the most help for your weekly player decisions, we've included some names on both the forwards and midfielders lists to help give you an idea where we stand on them.The composite scores below are determined on a points-based system where the top forward on each of our ranker's list is awarded 20 points, the second ranked forward is awarded 19 points, the third 18 points and so on (similar to what you'd see in MVP voting in some sports or college basketball rankings).
If you have any questions or feedback on the rankings, please don't hesitate to leave a comment below, or hit our rankers up on twitter: Schuyler Redpath, JD Bazzo and Steven Eschelbacher.
