Messi and Suárez drive MLS record-scoring season
MLS set a new single-season goals record, with Lionel Messi leading the Golden Boot race and Luis Suárez among Inter Miami’s main scorers.
For fantasy managers, this is a reminder that Inter Miami’s attack remains one of the league’s most explosive assets. Lionel Messi (FWD, Inter Miami) has 25 goals in 29 appearances and leads the Golden Boot race, while Luis Suárez (FWD, Inter Miami) has 16; Miami have scored 75 as a team. With scoring tied to every 10 minutes played, elite forwards who keep producing late in the season are premium holds. Risk: Low. Short-term ceiling remains elite. Hold or buy.
Fantasy Analysis
Messi remains the best pure goalscorer to target because Miami’s attack is still generating chances at record pace, which supports repeated scoring returns. Suárez is also viable as a secondary attacking asset, especially if you want exposure to a team that has 75 goals. In Kickbase terms, the key is not just goals but sustained minutes: a full 90 keeps the 10-minute scoring blocks alive and maximizes upside.
