Positional Leaders

Goalkeepers

Luis Robles (NYR, $6.5) kept two clean sheets on the way to 17 points, leading all goalkeepers, while Vito Mannone (MIN, $8.8) had a clean sheet and a rack of saves for 16 points. Steve Clark (POR, $8.4) had a clean sheet of his own and 14 points. D.C.’s Bill Hamid ($8.1) scored 9 points.

Defenders

Kyle Duncan (NYR, $5.1) nearly doubled his total output for the season in scoring 23 points on a goal and two clean sheets, leading all defenders and all players. Meanwhile, his teammates, Aaron Long ($7.7) and Kemar Lawrence ($5.7), had two clean sheets apiece on the way to 18 and 17 points, respectively. Frederic Brillant ($9.4) led the United back line with 14 points, followed by Steven Birnbaum ($7.3) with 10 points, and Joseph Mora ($6.2) with 8 points.

Midfielders

Atlanta’s Pity Martinez ($9.9) tallied a goal and an assist on the way to 18 points, leading the midfielders. Trailing him was the Red Bulls pair of Marc Rzatkowski ($8.1), with an assist and 17 points, and Daniel Royer ($9.2), with two goals and 16 points. For DCU, Lucas Rodriguez ($7.0) led with 8 points; followed by Junior Moreno ($6.9) with 6; the trio of Paul Arriola ($7.9), Russell Canouse ($7.5), and Felipe Martins ($6.9) with 4 points; Ulises Segura ($5.6) with 3; and the pair of Luciano Acosta ($6.2) and Ema Boateng ($4.0) with 1 each.

Forwards

Josef Martinez (ATL, $13.5) scored two goals and 14 points, leading the forwards, just ahead of Zlatan Ibrahimovic (LAG, $13.3), with a goal, assist, and 13 points. Houston’s Christian Ramirez ($7.5) rounded out the top three with 11 points on a goal and an assist. For D.C., Wayne Rooney ($9.1) scored 8 points, while Quincy Amarikwa ($4.0) scored 1.

Looking Ahead

It’s the penultimate round of the season, and Portland, Atlanta, San Jose, New England, NYC, Philadelphia, the Galaxy, LAFC, Minnesota, Kansas City, RSL, and Houston all play twice. Vito Mannone is your man in goal, with home games against Kansas City and LAFC, while Florian Jungwirth (SJ, $7.7) looks good in defense at home against Philadelphia and Seattle. Cristian Pavon (LAG, $11.0) is your man in midfield at RSL and vs. Vancouver, and stick with Zlatan Ibrahimovic at forward.
