The international window remains in full swing, but MLS Fantasy rolls on with Week 8 kicking off Saturday afternoon when Sporting Kansas City host Austin FC (3 pm ET | MLS LIVE on ESPN+). Theyāre the only squads playing twice in Week 8, which means those players have two shots at producing a serviceable fantasy point haul. There are still several international absences and injuries to be mindful of, so be sure to look over starting lineups before locking in your team.

Forwards
Johnny Russell has struggled with an injury, but could shoulder more of the scoring load with Alan Pulido away on international duty. He had eight key passes and added an assist to accumulate 13 points against Austin FC in their first meeting. Now, heāll look to get back on track with two bites at the apple in Week 8.
