SofaScore MLS Fantasy: How the Rating Drives Your Points
If you play SofaScore MLS fantasy, the number doing most of the work is the Sofascore match rating. Sofascore grades every player out of 10 from live Opta-style match data, and that rating maps straight onto fantasy points: a rating of 8.0 or higher adds a bonus, while a rating below 6.0 costs a point. On top of the rating you score the usual soccer actions: goals, assists, clean sheets, saves and card deductions.
So a Sofascore MLS fantasy score is really two layers: the base events you can see on any scorecard, plus the rating bonus that rewards all-round performances the box score misses (key passes, duels won, interceptions). Switch the calculator above to the Sofascore preset, pick the position, and enter both the events and the rating band to see the exact total. The full Sofascore point values are in the table below.

⚠️ MLS World Cup Break: May 25 – Jul 16
MLS pauses for the FIFA World Cup 2026. No league matches will be played for approximately 7 weeks. Plan your squads around this gap: players representing World Cup nations will be on international duty and unavailable to their MLS clubs during this period.
Fantasy tip: In Kickbase, consider selling premium players before the break as their market values may stagnate. Re-buy after the World Cup when the MLS season resumes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is MLSSoccer.com fantasy still available?
No, it has been permanently discontinued. The two active MLS fantasy platforms in 2026 are Kickbase (official partner) and Sofascore (free alternative).
What is the MLS World Cup break?
MLS pauses from May 25 to July 16, 2026 while the FIFA World Cup takes place. No league matches are scheduled during this window.
How does the match rating bonus work in Kickbase?
If a player earns a match rating of 8.0 or higher (based on Opta/Sofascore data), they receive bonus fantasy points: +3 for a rating ≥ 8.0, +5 for a rating ≥ 9.0. A player who scores a goal and earns a 9.0 rating can earn significantly more than their base stats suggest.
How does SofaScore MLS fantasy work?
SofaScore MLS fantasy is a free game built around the Sofascore player rating. You pick a squad, and each player scores base points for goals, assists, clean sheets and saves, plus a bonus tied to their Sofascore match rating: a rating of 8.0 or higher adds points, and a rating under 6.0 deducts one. Because the rating captures all-round play, defenders and midfielders who never touch the scoresheet can still post strong fantasy returns.
Does Sofascore fantasy cost money?
No. Sofascore fantasy is completely free. You can access it at sofascore.com or through the Sofascore app without a subscription.
Can I use this calculator for both Kickbase and Sofascore?
Yes. Use the platform toggle at the top of the calculator to switch between Kickbase and Sofascore scoring rules. Also select the player's position (GK, DEF, MID, FWD) as points vary by position.
