Midfielders
Jack Harrison’s (NY, $7.9) two goals and 14 points were good enough to tie Nicolas Lodeiro for the midfield lead. Osvaldo Alonso (SEA, $9.8) scored a goal and 13 points. For D.C., Luciano Acosta ($8.9) scored 12 points; followed by Sebastien Le Toux ($6.5) with 7; each of Jared Jeffrey ($5.4), Lamar Neagle ($7.5), and Lloyd Sam ($8.4) with 4, Ian Harkes ($5.8) with 3, and Marcelo Sarvas ($7.0) with 1.

Looking Ahead
Four teams play twice this round: ORL, TOR, SKC, and NYR, so it’s a good time to load up on two gamers. In goal, Tim Melia (SKC, $5.8) is a good idea in goal at home against the Red Bulls and away to Minnesota, while Erik Zavaleta (TOR, $5.1) should be in your defense at home against Orlando and at Seattle. In midfield, go with Victor Vazquez (TOR, $8.8), and at forward, pair Sebastian Giovinco with Dom Dwyer (SKC, $8.9).
